Following the theme of the season in which various episodes highlight a single character, although his sexuality doesn’t become common knowledge, the drama behind Wheeler‘s (Patrick Fischler) impending divorce takes center stage and will even play into the murder of the week when the NIS Special Agent in Charge will have to decide whether or not to reveal an alibi given by a career military man, clearing him of the crime, puts him in violation of the uniform code. Mostly an excuse for Wheeler to lose hit shit in the office, the plot does offer a couple of strong scenes between Wheeler and Mary Jo (Tyla Abercrumbie) proving once again why she is the most indispensable member of the office.

Watson – Livvy Sees the Doctor

  • Title: Watson – Livvy Sees the Doctor
  • IMDb: link

After being ignored for several months, a desperate father (Jon Beavers) in a bomb vest takes the clinic hostage forcing them to properly diagnose and save his daughter Livvy (Lucy Turnbull). While the ticking bomb offers some extra motivation, in the end it’s simply another case for the doctors to save. The episode is of note for showing off the selfishness of Beck (Noah Mills) who, while visiting the clinic nearly gets them all killed. That, somehow, only makes Ingrid (Eve Harlow) only hornier for her fellow sociopath pushing her further down a dangerous road.
