[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 31017, member: 23"] [B][I]RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT[/I][/B] The first of a hat-trick of episodes that show some great colours on Mary Beth. Her relationship with the teenage girl is really beautiful and full of interesting layers. Mary Beth's guilt over almost shooting her partly fuelled things (the girl was deaf and hadn't been aware of Mary Beth behind her shouting instructions to drop the gun she was holding). There's a lovely scene where Mary Beth talks to the girl in her cell. It's essentially a Tyne Daly monologue - one of those great scenes where Mary Beth thinks out loud. It also taps into her maternal instincts and is clear she feels very protective towards the girl. The episode then points out the irony of Mary Beth neglecting her own family to work on this case, giving some nice tension between Mary Beth and Harv. The relationship with Mary Beth and the girl pays off big time in the last act when Mary Beth has to put her feelings aside in order to be a cop, giving us a great scene. There was a sub-plot with Isbecki being embarrassed when his older, smarter girlfriend shows up at the precinct to everyone's surprise, but I can't remember if there was any more to it than that.
