Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis episode appears to be based on two separate cases/incidents:
- The 2010-2013/2015 Kalief Browder case. Browder was an African American youth from The Bronx, New York, who was held at the Rikers Island jail complex, without trial, between 2010 and 2013 for allegedly stealing a backpack containing valuables. During his imprisonment, Browder was in solitary confinement for 700 days. Two years after his release, Browder hanged himself at his parents' home. His case has been cited by activists campaigning for reform of the New York City criminal justice system and has attracted widespread attention in the years following his death. In 2017, Jay-Z produced a television documentary mini-series titled tt6133034. In January 2019, New York City settled a civil lawsuit with the Browder family for $3.3 million.
- Partially based on the 2002 Casey White/Vicki White case. Casey White, was awaiting trial in a capital murder case, when he escaped the Lauderdale County Jail in Florence, Alabama, United States with help of Corrections officer Vicky White (no relation). Vicky White engineered and facilitated the escape by taking Casey to a car to what she claimed to her coworkers was a scheduled mental health evaluation at the courthouse. The manhunt for the pair was widely covered by American media. Law enforcement caught up with Casey and Vicky White on May 9 in Evansville, Indiana with the manhunt ending in Casey White crashing the car he was driving. Vicky White shot herself in the head, while Casey White was apprehended and returned to Alabama. She later died from her injuries and Casey was charged with her murder under Alabama's felony murder rule, but the charge was dropped when Casey pleaded guilty to prison escape on May 5, 2023.

Derp and Lurch Try to Arrest the State Farm Guy
Not really, but the guy could play his brother. This is an episode that tries to sound a lot smarter than it is.
What do they think this is? SVU?
Here's a sample:
Derp (or Lurch . . . They're interchangeable based on function) finding conveniently available fast food receipts (after finding conveniently available white shoes with blood on them): The receipt says 11:43.
Lurch (or Derp): It's 11:48. We just missed him.
Noooooooooo, really? Golly, who would have thought a few minutes was a close call? Good thing they clarified that. Thanks, Derp (or Lurch).
Anyway, this episode has some more action in it. The really severe looking computer nerd wears a sweater that appears to be based on a plate of succotash. Camryn Manhands bobs and weaves while delivering her lines because that makes everything more dramatic. There's bookstore shenanigans that includes such intense scene chewing (including loads of gnashed teeth) that it could be a used in a class on overacting.
This is another episode where the main characters do something wrong -- in this case, railroading an innocent man who then murders someone trying to escape the violence of prison -- and it becomes all about them trying to put it right rather than simply having to face up to their actions and take their lumps. In other words, rather than being drama, it's melodrama, if not wishful thinking. Just once it would be so brave for them to let, say, Benson on SVU endure lasting repercussions on her career for her various soap box hypocrisies and that call out all her tedious performative do-gooding.
Here, the garden gnome messes up yet again and rather than be held accountable, there's a lot of legal rationalizations why that's okay. In the meantime, as usual, other characters pay the price. At least AOC is smart enough to speak little.
The episode does question racism, yet once again, it's limited to the same dynamic we've seen over and over and over when racism is faced by so many groups in this country. According to TV, nobody else has a problem from the police when it comes to race. Talk about science fiction. But then there's a big cop out at the end, too, that's meant to be a tragedy. It is because only some who deserve punishment get it.
That's not a law or police procedural. That's a Lifetime soap opera for people who think The Masked Singer is taut drama. The music is so heavy handed, it could be played in one of those ASPCA commercials. Derp and Lurch Try to Arrest Jake from State Farm.
