- Pretty much a textbook example of a perfect cop show episode. Seems like every scene is a key scene for one reason or another. More than any other episode so far we get inside the head of our hero when he has to confront Julia about the shooting at the end of 1.6 and everything about how he handles this dilemma tells us who he really is. And gives us a multitude of reasons to like him and admire him.
- Our villain is likewise given several key scenes, ending with the last one where he murders his mother Irene Saxon. Jason Gedrick and Veronica Cartwright are great in their scenes together.
- This episode kicks the main story arc into high gear by having Irving assign Bosch to the case, and some breakthroughs soon follow.
- A consistently excellent series so far.
