Is it wrong that the biggest reason I was looking forward to tonight's episode was that I wanted to see the trailer for next week's episode? I can't wait!
But meanwhile...
I'm sorry they killed off Rick Springfield before the opening credits. I haven't seen him in anything in ages. He's still my favorite Nick Knight.
H50 has always name-dropped local businesses and personalities, but tonight's ep had some product placement I can totally get behind. The Mauli Ola Foundation is a real charitable organization whose VP is a friend of Scott Caan's. Scott has volunteered for them before. Too bad Danny doesn't surf. It would have been fun to see Danny volunteering for a charity that Scott supports.
I loved seeing BAMF!Danny again tonight, and I love how he makes his size work for him. He never tackles people who are bigger than he is (which is pretty much everybody); he cuts them off and trips them, or hits them in the face with a sailboat boom, or throws hot charcoal in their faces.
I'm having a little trouble suspending my disbelief for the lengths Chin is going to in protecting his uncle. His uncle is obviously suffering a crisis of conscience and wants to accept responsibility for what he did, but I can see why Chin wouldn't want him to go to prison. Trying to talk his uncle into recanting his confession? Totally understandable. Lying to IA to try to counter his uncle's confession? Okay. He's used to people thinking he's guilty anyway. Offering his home up to a loan shark to acquire $200,000 to fake his own guilt? That was a little extreme and the show didn't really sell me on it. And I'm not seeing this end well.
Have I mentioned I can't wait until next week's episode? And all the fic it will hopefully inspire afterward? I can't wait until next week's episode and all the fic it will hopefully inspire afterward!

But I totally wouldn't put it past any defense attorney or jailhouse lawyer in the state to use that as an excuse to get the uncle's old cases reviewed.
