and following the upswing from last episode is this "Homage to cop movies" episode. Homages are obvious which is the point but this one keeps the characters intact unlike the homage you might find on Community (which to be fair to that show was the point. The characters were only there to be broken apart in lampshaded homage after lampshaded homage)
A very tight reign keeps this episode fun and well paced never losing itself to the movies it's trying to pay tribute to. While it was fun seeing Enrico working with Rob Thomas again this week's brain (Cop who doesn't play by the rules aka Maverick Cop) worked well and worked with the story. Which involves someone close to Liv being in danger. A betrayal. The advancement of the Brother Love storyline and Blane begins to take a surprising role. Honestly the strangest part about Brother Love is that it appears he will not ever realize he was being tortured in a well by his son instead by all indication he's literally lost his mind and is not going to discover this and rage out. This episode shows him buying in even deeper.
Major is imo one of the most interesting characters in this farce of a season because he's basically right and noone is addressing this. The show keeps showing Filmore Graves as the bad guys but honestly they aren't and it's due to the firm hand of Chase Graves and all we see of Major Lilywhite. It doesn't make sense to run an underground railroad to make people zombies because there's already a food shortage. This entire arc has become increasingly frustrating because the only people properly concerned about how to maintain and feed a population of immortal always hungry hoard are the big bad military who never abuse their power they just enforce it.
Our new character Isabol is precocious and charming. She's new but I'm pretty invested in her. I don't hope she lives because that'd be cheap but I hope she gets a good storyline that she deserves.
