The Faithful 1.4

B gets overzealous at a church crime scene and uses a cop's head to hoist himself up onto the backs of two pews.

Goren knows where to find used cigarettes and checks for Eames before he and a homelss man "smoke 'em if you get 'em."

Goren gets Howard the TB patient to serenade Deakins with "Beautiful Dreamer" and Eames admires how good he is.

Eames gets swung at 'cause "she's too hot to be a cop" and Goren doesn't have anything to share with the class when he leans back and zones out in his chair in Deakin's office.

Quotable:

[E brings them lunch]
G: Thanks
E: Liturgy of the Catholic Church. You thinking of converting? Because I think Father Capanna would love to baptize you.
G: Too late. You're speaking to a lapse alter boy.
E: I should've known. The disregard for authority, the fascination with bad behavior.

Deakins: The Goren Show's back in town!

Smothered 1.3

Eames prays for patience and Bobby watches too much Discovery Channel.

A bartender with an accent calls Eames a "scruffy sort" and Bobby defends a junkie-whore's taste in home decor.

Bobby gets the door for Alex for the first time. BA eat lunch together and take part in the cutest surveilance ever. Bobby does the crossword, Alex sips at her coffee, Eames considers moving, and they scope out furnature for their place. She makes Bobby chuckle. They arrest a junkie for littering.

BA are both onto the same coat-girl. It's revealed that A doesn't have kids and B's mom never liked any of his girlfriends, even if she pretended to, because she wanted him to be happy.

Clothes Call: Eames' smart black trench makes a two-second appearance. They make surveilance look good: Alex's orange coat and jeans and Bobby's leather jacket and jeans. Bobby's hair is all ruffled at the surveilance. B looks good in his black t-shirt in interrogation and his butt looks good in those jeans.

Quotable:

E: What is that?
G: Fish scale.
E: Great, she was attacked by a shark.
G: Sharks don't have scales.
E: [sighs]

E: Not your usual junkie hell-hole.
G: She was makin' an effort.

[Guy walks by. Goren looks to Eames]
E: No, too short. Surveilance is my strong suit.
G: [chuckles] Now that's the nicest lamp we've seen. You ever think what it's like living down there?
E: WIth what one bedrooms are going for, I've considered it. My butt's getting cold.

Art 1.2

Goren doesn't trust opinion polls. Alex is impressed with Bobby's vast art knowledge. Bobby stands up a chair and waves his hand between the victim's dangling feet and the stool. Bobby does his first show of moving stuff around to throw people off.

BA are going to have some trouble decorating their home:
E: Beautiful.
G: Impressionists are too pretty.
E: Right. You probably like those sweaty naked people in the next room.
G: Lucien Freud? As a matter of fact, I do.
E: You can't put that in your home. You can't live with it.
G: Well, I'm not interested in living with it. I'm interested in thinking about it.
[Eames smiles]

Goren gets a star for doing his homework. Goren and a German have a pissing contest for Eames' love: The German calls Eames "a beautiful woman" and enjoys being threatened by her. Goren does an eccentric eye-roll and (Smarty Pants Alert) reads and speaks German to show off.

Goren "can't help himself" and barges into a studio. Alex asks nice.

Clothes Call: Eames wears a skirt while having a walk 'n' talk with Carver.

One 1.1

And so it begins . . .

Our two favorite detectives haven't exactly hit their stride yet. Their partnership is in its first year and they're not exactly on the same page. Goren gives his word to a family that their daughter's killer will be found, and Eames has a problem with it -- they get a little snippy with each other, and not for the last time.

Deakins calls Goren a "right-brained guy" 'cause Goren's trying to round third even though he hasn't touched first or second. Deakins calls Eames "Alex" and is glad she's there to be a base coach.

Goren makes all kinds of assupmtions Eames isn't cool with and he gets a little smart with her: "Okay, if it doesn't bother you."

Alex makes her first sarcastic funny: Ho Ho Ho, BA runs after Masuccis and Randazzos, and Bobby is the only volunteer for a month's worth of security camera tapes. Bobby likes to watch. Alex likes to listen.

Goren's biker buddy with the body art shows up at the precinct: "Buddy of yours?" "I hope so." Turns out the guy got some friends in the Canadian prison system. Handy.

BA argues some more, but now they're at least on the same page more or less. Goren does his famous impression of bend-at-the-waist Gumby in the interogation room and tells a big fat lie about AIDS: I lied. Sorry.

In the end . . . "Men come and go . . ." "but diamonds don't keep you warm at night."

Clothes Call: Bobby's blue vest

Law & Order: Criminal Intent: The Good Bits

It's the one where Goren and Eames . . .

I've been following CI religiously for a while now, and I can't count the number of times I've tried to pinpoint a certain episode where Eames says that one sarcastic thing about paintings or the one where Bobby cuts his hand in the interrogation room . . . . So, I'm creating an abreviated episode guide "The Good Bits" if you will. I'm creating it firstly for myself, but I think a lot of CI fans can get some use out of it. I'll have a smige of plot summery, some good quotes, and a lot of BA. Some of it could be taken as shipping, but I'll try to keep it to a minimum :)
