The Third Horseman 1.11

The abortion doctor episode.

Bobby knows his big guns. Ma and Pa Kettle chain themselves to a radiator. Eames calls Goren “Bobby.” Alex gets overwhelmed and angry and B takes over the questioning. Bobby pretends to be chauvinistic pro-lifer and badmouths Eames to bond with a bad guy.

BA get some help from “Zach here” and we find out Eames has seniority. BA have a quiet talk over each of their stances on abortion – both are pro-choice.

Enemy Within 1.10

Goren’s on the 90th floor. The local cops are dunces.

Goren flirts with an ex, a tall brunette he blew his chance with and who has since moved on to “Carlos” – they used to play in the same regular poker game.

Everyone needs things explained twice and works against BA. Deakins doesn’t like his mother-in-law. Goren talks sex with a wife and marvels over a brilliant, perfect crime.

Clothes Call: the tall skinny male nurse’s fun shirt colors

The Good Doctor 1.9

Alex’s sock drawer is disorganized. Goren can’t get a shrink to turn and cough and Eames won’t ever pose nude: You couldn’t pay me enough.

Bobby spills his Coke. Carver plays with knives in court. A phone call interrupts a Goren/Deakins argument. Eames calls dibs on Long Island and makes Goren run around two states. BA argues over the suspect column, Deakins sides with B (shocker). B teaches a doctor what “interrogation” is. Goren rebels on the stand to get a guy up there. Carver is on his A-Game.

Clothes Call: The way Eames wears her scarf

Quotable:
G: [after trying three other scenarios] “She ran away and joined the circus.”

G: That thing your doing with your tongue, what business is that, strictly?

The Pardoner’s Tale 1.8

We travel to Lewis Body Shop in Long Island. Lewis, Bobby’s childhood friend, falls in love with Alex when she teases him with her car knowledge. Apparently Goren’s only been in Major Case a very short time because Lewis still isn’t used to seeing him in a suit. In their youth, Bobby and Lewis got into all sorts of mischief in classic cars. B & A’s vast car knowledge is on display.

Goren’s in a standoff with a guy with a kid and a gun. Goren picks up the kid, our first sign he’s good with kids. The guy tells Goren he should’ve shot him when he had the chance. Goren gets that a lot. Later, in a sweet moment, the kid runs up to Bobby and pokes his badge mischievously and Bobby gives it to him to play with while Eames asks questions.

People in the Fed owe Bobby favors: I can get someone in so deep even I couldn’t find them. Bobby gives his word.

A makes a family connection for Bobby. Goren jumps up and down excitedly behind a computer. BA ignore protocol and charge ahead with a case against the governor.

Bobby states that Major Case Squad is located in One Police Plaza, 11th floor.

Everyone sticks it to Boy Meets World’s dad. BA fights with Carver, Carver bullies BA, and Carver’s full of himself and thinks he should be taught. BA’s not impressed.

Clothes Call: Eames’ oriental collar on her suit jacket. A lawyer’s bow-tie.

Quotable:
G: Eames, I gotta see a buddy about a ’71 Malibu. You want to come?
E: Sure. I love meeting your buddies.

G: [to an unresponsive suspect] Boo! Made ya look.

G: [to an overeager secretary] That’s okay, the search warrant doesn’t actually stipulate highlighting.

Poison 1.7

Cyanide smells like almonds. Deakins tells Bobby to “curb your enthusiasm” and gets a little riled when the headache med he uses might get recalled.

Jerry Orbach and his partner meet BA. Jerry says something sarcastic and Bobby likes him. Jerry and his partner conspire with BA to let a little somethin’ somethin’ leak.

Bobby and Deakins are all pissy with each other the entire episode and Bobby does a presentation to Command Control Center – why the seniority-holding, socially-accepted Eames doesn’t do it, we’ll never know.

We meet Bobby’s tree-hugger friends and BA sign a petition.

Alex tells Bobby he’s adorable.

Quotable:G: What about the great American pastime?
E: Which one? Dieting or cheating on your taxes?
G: Suing.

G: [to Carver] I bet you could indict that clock.

[Deakins gives his theory on the case, then looks to Bobby]
G: What do you want me to say? It’s brilliant.

The Extra Man 1.6

Eames makes a crack about the Three Stooges and Goren laughs as they make fun of a homely dead guy. A gives B a look when they meet the vic’s older lover. BA giggle over Trump’s secretary’s spelling mistakes and B haggles a foot with a limo driver.

Bobby gives Eames his phone out of his pocket and Eames plays the flighty girlfriend. Goren’s on his own for a chunk of the episode playing with The Ledger and knows all sorts of stuff about the French/Swiss/Brazilian guy he plays phone tag with. We find out Goren’s a bettin’ man and Alex owes Bobby $18 but Carver likes 10 to 1 odds. Bobby makes a flourishing arrest at Happy Hour.

Clothes Call: Goren plays with cute hats.

Quotable:
Deakins: That Santini from The Ledger?
Goren: Yeah, don’t worry, I mentioned your name.

G: “take your chestnuts out of the fire”

Jones 1.5

Goren dances with a senorita while Alex waits impatiently on the sidelines. Alex is possessive of their case and chooses Bobby over the Chief of D’s Drug Task Force.

The killer loves scented bathwater and Goren’s olfactory glands have a field day, especially on the body with the strategically placed seaweed.

Goren has a “nuh-uh girlfriend” moment with the killer’s dedicated wife: “Not you. Your money.”

Goren hangs petite Eames out there as bait. Goren throws himself between the two of them and shares his infamous theory on why certain men are attracted to petite women. Goren’s shoe size is 13. The guy from Who’s That Girl breaks the two-way mirror and the episode ends with some lovely frame-age of our two favorite detectives in the wreckage.

Clothes Call: Bobby’s hot sunglasses on the beach

Quotable:
G: Hey, Don Juan. You’re under arrest.
