Harry continues to seek the killer of the lawyer. In the process, demonstrators continue to attack the police department. A cop who says he was responsible for torturing the suspect in a previous case, comes to Harry's house. They talk and he agrees to confess to that crime. He also says he had nothing to do with the current murder. Harry allows him to stay at his home, on the condition that they go in together in the morning. But at sunrise, he has disappeared. Maddie continues to want answers and Harry and Eleanor meet at the farmer's market to discuss what to do. Things go south really fast and now Harry has a whole new reason to get some bad people. This is an incredibly intense episode. The FBI is now involved because of Eleanor's connection.

Strong and eventful episode

After Eleanor and Madeline fight, Harry tries to help.
There is little I can say about the plot without spoiling, except that it is quite dramatic and one scene comes as a bit of a shock. The plot generally revolves around this event, using a well constructed build up and plausible aftermath.
Other scenes of interest to me are Police Commission meeting and other scenes relating to the politics and sensitivity of the Elias murder. These ring quite true to the tensions and relationship between the police and individuals involved in social movements.
All performances are solid, but for me it's the visual storytelling that conveys the emotion in the key scenes, so a lot of credit should go to the filmmakers.

Mostly weak filler, and an unnecessary shakeup

Warning: Spoilers
My overall rating of "Bosch"'s Season 4: 4/10
So I've really tried to look at what scenes are great in this episode, but on review I mostly have niggles: why is the KTK wearing so much of such warm clothing; why is Bosch leaving his sunglasses on a dashboard (Is it not LA? Isn't LA hot?); why does the mayor's wife have to come to Irving in person for a 2-minute fruitless talk... In addition, not much actually happens with one prominent exception.
Honestly that's how I see it: Bosch has almost finished avenging his mother, so now he needs a new cycle of vengeance to shape up. Here's the chance. Being a protagonist's avengeable family member is hazardous to your health. If I cared more about Maddie (and were her role played by a better actress), I'd be upset that a couple of seasons from now she's bound to be up for sacrifice.
