The season finale of Murder in a Small Town picks up the thread of the unsolved murder of the woman posed in the woods by delving into the same suspects suggested the previous week. The suspicious behavior of Cassandra’s (Kristin Kreuk) friend from out of town Roger (Lucas Bryant) makes him the leading suspect, but stumbling into a connection between the art on display in the gallery and previous victims pushes Karl’s (Rossif Sutherland)  focus to the high school art teacher (Noah Reid) whose behavior towards Devon (Alisha Newton) also takes a dangerous turn leading to a standoff between the chief and the killer.

“One Flew Over” is more memorable for the Gibbs‘ (Austin Stowell) storylines than the murder of the week involving an elderly woman with dementia found dead in the woods. For Gibbs we get a present involving him taking care of an injured bird while flashbacks tie back, in an not-so-subtle metaphor, to the soldier’s early interactions with Franks (Kyle Schmid) after returning home and his frustrations with the murderer still roaming free. Before the end, we’ll also see Franks being unable to let a personal case go providing some understanding and commonalities between Franks and his probie.

Interior Chinatown – Delivery Guy

  • Title: Interior Chinatown – Delivery Guy
  • IMDb: link

The second episode of Interior Chinatown begins to explore the rules of the world as we see the limitations put on both Willis Wu (Jimmy O. Yang) and Lana Lee (Chloe Bennet) who seem stuck in small supporting roles to a larger story. While Lana can offer insight and advice to Green (Lisa Gilroy) and Turner (Sullivan Jones), she is stuck firmly in the role of a sidekick. As for Willis, the pair ignore him completely and his access to parts of the city (here the police department) is blocked. However, after spending most of the episode unable to get into the department, Willis uses a stereotypical Asian role to gain entry, opening the door a bit wider to his access in the world.
