In A Price Above Rubies, a wealthy young man robs his own jewelry store and commits murder to cover his trail. It did not take long for our CBI agents and Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) into making the foolish man confess his crime, and the path that led to his arrest lacked the typical zeal of the show.
When Jane and Lisbon (Robin Tunney) went to the rehab clinic to determine a connection between two of the suspects, we got our splash of the affection between the two as Jane pretended to be a concerned husband, and Lisbon, the supposed alcoholic wife, verged on wanting to kill him, as well as being amused.
We also go a little Rigsby (Owain Yeoman) and Van Pelt (Amanda Righetti) moment at the end of the episode, when a diamond turned up in her pocket and Jane told her that Rigsby put it there. But it was not enough to make for the tension the two had shown earlier when, while pursuing a lead, Grace asked Wayne if it would always be so secretive between them. The pair has barely been together for two episodes and there is already tension because it would be problematic to go public? Plus the fact that it's being brought up while they are on duty just proved the CBI right for their concern about relationships between their agents. And wouldn't you think it was Rigsby who would want more from the relationship? After all, until they got in bed together, Grace was the one being sensible about it.
And we have not been getting enough of Cho (Tim Kang).
Then again, every show needs to have weaker episodes so that we have a chance to better appreciate the solid ones.
I agree with your comments on this episode - especially about rigsby/van pelt - and not enough cho... although I hear he has a big episode coming up in feb- looking forward to that!
ReplyDeleteAn all Cho episode would be awesome. I suppose it would ruin the greatness of his moments if it happened all the time, but Tim Kang has such easy power to steal the show.
