[QUOTE="Seaviewer, post: 65800, member: 57"] I suppose it was bound to happen sooner or later: the Laceys' hitherto separate worlds collide in a case of murder and corruption involving some of Harvey's former construction colleagues The three-way dynamics of Mary Beth working with her husband and her partner are handled deftly, culminating in the mildly surprising team-up of Christine and Harvey trying to convince Mary Beth of what they believe is the correct way to proceed. Mary Beth's high-rise rescue is reminiscent of Harvey's rescue of the pigeon under similar circumstances the previous season - either a clever callback or blatant recycling, take your pick. Maybe they just figured that nobody was watching that first season anyway. Some lighter moments highlighting Cagney's competitive streak come in what is literally a running gag with a fellow morning jogger. And there is a nice performance from Conchata Ferrell (from [I]Knots Landing[/I]'s "Hitchhike" two-parter) as a grieving widow. She really is a good actress. It's a shame that she will probably only be remembered for [I]Two and a Half Men[/I]. Yes, quite a jolt. [/QUOTE]
