As has become the norm, the wrong person is arrested for a murder on a minimum of evidence. The story also asks the question, should lawyers feel responsible for cleaning up the mess they make when they get a not guilty verdict for an especially despicable criminal?
Plot improbabilities abound. Our perp has a medical emergency about 100 miles from Community General. He calls his wife for help back in LA instead of emergency services, since he is in the process of planting fake evidence. We next see him back with Mark and company receiving medical care. I am not overly familiar with CA, but I am assuming it was not the closest hospital.
There is a disturbing scene where a dog pound worker nonchalantly takes a small dog off to end his life, and then decides to do the same to a dog who witnessed the murder of his owner and bit the perp, simply because he injured a paw. The fate of the second dog caused about a minute of excitement but the interaction with the first dog was totally unnecessary. In reality, I hope they give these deaths more concern than she did.
There is a sub-plot with marital issues between the lawyer and his wife. She seems as confused as I was as to why he left her in the first place.
Jesse and Amanda are no shows in this episode. The autopsy takes place in Big Bear and there is a female doctor in the ER.
Within the first five minutes, we know the identify of everyone who has committed a crime in this episode and so does Mark and Steve. They just have to prove it, and the perp really doesn't go out of his way to prevent that. There is nothing here to hold the viewer's interest.
