Will Trent - We Are Family

While the more impactful moments in terms of ongoing storylines in “We Are Family” involve Will (Ramón Rodríguez) making a connection with his mother’s brother (John Ortiz), the moment I’ll most remember in the episode has to do with the murder of the week outside of a drag club and a discussion with witnesses about a “vanilla envelope” that so perfectly fits our characters. The truth beyond the killing fits the tragic nature of the series, as does Will reaction to finding his uncle’s friends aren’t so happy about him being a cop, but so does this hilarious little segment as well as the closing moments involving the friends coming together to support Ormewood (Jake McLaughlin) in his time of need.

Flashback Friday takes us back to the 1980s and an investigative reporter who stumbles upon corruption and murder. Fletch may be the quintessential Chevy Chase movie. One could certainly argue for National Lampoon’s Vacation or Caddyshack, although the latter is more of an ensemble piece. With Fletch, Chase carries the film from beginning to end through a variety of ad-libs, jokes, gags, and sarcastic remarks while breaking not one but two big stories in less than a week. When you think of Chase’s style of humor, it’s hard not to think of Fletch.
