Glad to see Alfredo back and Randall could be interesting. I loved Holmes's very formal, very guarded, meeting with Randall when he agrees to sponsor him (is sponsee really a term anyone uses?). If we're stuck with the addiction story line for this whole show, at least occasionally it's tied to plot and relationships. I even thought the negative aspects of "the program" came through--the lecturing, the manipulation, the entrapment that Holmes faces in a web of equivocation and trade-offs. I'm waiting for them to tie this to his bdsm proclivities from the pilot.
The crime story this week was so insubstantial that they could have focused only on relationships and given the case of the week a miss. I do love the settings and the continued excellent photography of the city, though.
I'm sorry, but I just wish Bell would disappear. More Gregson! Maybe sidelining Bell to shadowy office work--I really thought at first he was going to be sucked into Internal Affairs--will give Gregson more visibility during investigations.
