I have a bad feeling about this show. I am really worried Julian McMahon killed it with his selfishness.
This is one confusing episode! The episode description leads us to believe the initial murder victims were all employees but wait - who were the four people in the back of the van? The answer comes near the end but not from the FBI. So let me get this straight, this is a story about a couple growing illegal weed in state where weed is legal? When the FBI interviews Marianne's older sister (Julia), she claims that she hasn't seen Marianne in so long she has never met Rachel, her niece. However, she is aware that Rachel is cared for by a nanny. How would she know that? At least one agent catches this but the FBI does nothing with it. When agents learn that Marianne was born in America to a Russian family and her father, a Russian crime boss, changed her name, they fail to reconsider Julia. The whole family is Russian! This makes the entire FBI appear to have tunnel vision. It is absurd! Once agents realize Marianne is the daughter of a Russian crime boss, they must rethink the role of Julia, who knows more than she admitted previously. Who is most likely to take over the family business from the father? It is a pretty complicated family web but it wasn't hard to figure out. The criminals in the final standoff reveal more answers than the FBI does.
What is the point of this show if you are going to make the FBI look bad? Is this ALL designed for Dylan McDermott's debut as the new SSA in the next episode? I think the wheels are falling off. McMahon's decision to leave essentially wrote off other characters like Tali (last appeared before McMahon's last episode), Sarah and Byron. My heart goes out to YaYa Gosselin, the actress who played Tali, Jess' daughter. The loss of Kellan Lutz (Kenny Crosby) already hurt the show. He was Jess' #1. Ortiz is solid but now the team has lost it's leader and right-hand man in a little more than one season. We are also losing Sheryll to a leave of absence so McDermott will have a shell of the original team to begin his tenure and be shorthanded.
