Wow. When this show doesn't have a good dose of humor to help it along, it really descends into a morass of melodrama and dullness. (I spent the entire sequence at the end with the Dramatic! Choral! Music! cracking up at how ridiculous it all was.) The only thing I enjoyed about this was Beckett getting her manager on. Also, was it just me, or did this director seem overly fond of unnecessarily quick and jerky cuts?

SHOWWWWW! YOU WERE GOOD AGAIN! And it's an actual filmed-this-season season two ep, which gives me hope for the future!
Okay, so the main plot was kind of dumb--I mean, the moment everyone assumed the killer had to be from shady Alex's circle of friends, did anyone not instantly realize it was going to be someone from Paul's life?--but but but Peter and Sam both got some character development! And Peter and Megan had massive amounts of UST!
Bwahahaha, that new driver is hilarious. I don't know why they're enlarging their already giant cast, but she's fun; I think they should keep her. Her and Ethan together are very entertaining.
"You aren't one of those necrophilia freaks, are you? Because we get those." Please never, ever do an episode about this, show.
Megan: You are so comfortable delving into my personal life, but we never seem to talk about yours. Why is that?
Peter: I don't know. I guess that's just our thing.
Megan: Oh, I see. You and I have a thing?
SO MUCH LOVE.
Yeah, dead bodies really shouldn't walk off like that... (Please tell me I'm not the only person who was reminded of Nick walking off of Natalie's slab in Forever Knight, thus introducing her to the Toronto's vampire underworld.)
Megan: What happened to Ethan's body?
Curtis: You mean besides thirty years of junk food, video games, and lack of exercise?
Ethan: Oh, and your body's a temple?
Awww, Bud and Sam get to do police stuff on their own, yay!
"Uh-uh, boy, she will break your skinny ass in half." *snerk*
I was kind of thinking Peter hadn't gone to college, actually, but rather gone right into the police academy. Huh.
Meeting Peter's sisters was fun--especially Megan's reaction--but did they strike anyone else as very...not sisterly? Like, from the way they were giggling, it felt more like teenaged bobby soxers meeting the Beatles than forty-something women coming by to rib their brother. I guess they were supposed to be all a-twitter about his old girlfriend coming back into town, but even so...are there actually sisters who will act like that in regards to a brother's love life? *is clueless only child*
It amuses me that Peter is apparently the kind of guy who doesn't return calls from his family. I had him pegged as someone who at least e-mailed regularly. I'm also sad that the sisters have completely normal names rather than something like the Shakespeare names I gave them in fic.
I enjoyed Kate getting her boss on with Bud. Perhaps I have a thing for women in authority?
Ethan joining Megan in bugging Peter about getting in touch with his old girlfriend was kind of hilarious. From that conversation, it sounds like Megan dragged the sisters aside at some point and dug out more details about Peter's love life from them that we didn't get to see. (You can also tell Peter's just thinking, "I moved out to get AWAY from this crap. Why has it followed me?")
Look, Sam's getting some character development! It wasn't anything too earth-shattering, but I liked the way they handled the scenes between her and Bud. They ring very true as co-workers who know and like each other; their relationship is very easy and respectful.
"You're her new obsession." Cue Peter thinking, "Hmmmm..."
Curtis: Someday [those memories of Lizzie] might be all you have.
Peter: Oh, thanks for that.
Raise your hand if you figured out Alex was the bone marrow donor way before anyone on the show did.
I kind of loved Megan, Peter, and Kate sneaking over to the school in the dead of night and running their own environmental tests. Not that medical examiners should be doing that, but eh, whatever.
The interrogation scene was nothing special from a script point of view, but one thing I did like was that between Kate, Megan, Sam, the councilwoman, her lawyer, and her chief of staff, there were six women there and only one guy (Bud). It's sad that this is unusual in today's TV landscape. For all its faults, I do appreciate that BoP gives us these kinds of scenes on occasion.
AND THEN THERE WAS THAT GREAT END SCENE! Megan shoos away a potential suitor at a bar, and Peter comes up to her all, "What was wrong with him?" like they've done this before. And then they flirt like their lives depend on it, because dinner with his old girlfriend convinced Peter that the relationship was well and truly over, so OBVIOUSLY he went to find Megan. I don't remember Megan's exact line, but it was something like this:
Megan: You don't think there'll ever be another great love of your life?
Peter: Well, there might be.
MEGAN, HE WAS TOTALLY FLIRTING WITH YOU, YOU SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT.
Also, this!
Peter: So what's with this digging into my personal life?
Megan: Maybe it's our new thing.
Peter: Now you're admitting we have a thing?
Megan: [flirty smile] We've always had a thing.
MY HEAD ASPLODE. FROM UST. They are so cuuuuuuuuute! Can we just assume that all the press and interviews about how they're totally never going to put them together are LIES? *cough* Much like a certain other show I can think of where the actors denied everything in the first season...

Finally, because God forbid I make an entry these days without a Fringe reference, have a lolarious graphic. Spoilers through 4x03.
