Hi! I'm Star Wars
Syl and this is the Remember Clone Captain Keeli blog.
Warning: This
post will contain spoilers for this episode, and any episodes that
came before it.
“No
tragic loss of life in a morgue.” I am very hopeful that we will
begin to have some more unraveling of Evan's backstory. There remains
much to be revealed in spite of the work put into it in this episode.
I
confess that JT's strategy for convincing Evan to not talk
about his findings annoyed me. He led with Secret, Murky
Organization while providing no
details or evidence, then followed it up by threatening a cop.
Just
how much time did he invest in trying to determine if such a strategy
would have even a glimmer of
a chance of working? I'm guessing less than thirty seconds. And given
the fact he had to spend time hacking in
order to find blackmail material, he had time to
think about it.
We've
seen this in Cat in the past, too. Evan's personality type is
surprisingly earnest, given the affect he tried to give off in the
early episodes. And he's a cop. And he was almost murdered in a
horrible way by a serial killer... and saved by a creature. Is there
any way in hell he's going to just back down
because Cat asked him
to while giving him no reason to
do so? And yet she assumes he
will, is annoyed when
he doesn't, and worst of all, is surprised when
he doesn't.
Back
to this fiasco. Not only did JT not manage
to stop Evan's determination, but he also burned bridges so that Evan
would not be interested in communicating with JT anymore, and
definitely not
interested in trusting him. To be honest, JT would have done less
damage if he'd stayed out of the whole thing entirely.
On the
other hand, clever, clever Evan.
The more I see him, the more I like him.
At the
end, when Cat announced, “And now I need to be there for someone
who's always been there for me,” I nearly cheered. That felt so
right and good, to have her head out to back Tess up when her partner
does need her. I
really do like Cat, even if some of her decisions baffle and annoy
me. She has a kind, loyal heart, she is brave and smart a good chunk
of the time, and I always love her hand-to-hand fights with perps.
