So I didn't know how I felt about "Night Finds You" and was actually considering dropping the season if this episode didn't deliver. I'm happy to say that I was overjoyed with where "Maybe Tomorrow" went in relation to deepening the mystery and character development.
For the first two episodes the four main characters we've come to care about seemed anxious, tense, and just let life happen to them. I think this sentiment hit its climax when Ray was shot at the end of the second episode. His revival (while sort of a cheap showman's trick) inspired a new Ray to take on the case and life with new conviction. I like the Ray seething at Frank from across the both much better than the one that buried himself in the bottom of the bottle. Both still have their problems, but "new Ray" actually cares.
Finally, Frank bears his teeth too when he's called out by the pimp in the club. Now the viewers know a Frank they can fear instead of seeing him as fearful (which he still kind of is, but that's okay). What I liked best about him in this episode is we see he's at his best when his wife and him are a team. We're beginning to see the first glimpses of a potential split at the end of the episode, which makes Frank and his wife more interesting and real.
We only got a little bit of Ani. The episode highlighted that she's a tough cookie and that's really about it. We explored Paul a little more too, making him easier to understand instead of the obvious sore thumb in the group (which he still is). We even got to see him make progress on the case!
Lastly, I liked that the episode actually showed the detectives doing investigative work, introducing us to more weird and eccentric characters (the weird characters was something I actually liked about "Night Finds You").
The plot thickens as it becomes even clearer that Ray, Ani, and Paul aren't really meant to solve the case. How exciting!
