Comedian Jim “Problems are just solutions in work clothes” Gaffigan plays it straight and if you haven’t seen him in My Boys, you really gotta Netflix that now.
Someone’s been sniffin’ the embalming fluid and Goren, after disgusting us and his partner playing with some really gross sores, shows his steady hand and tweezers prowess.
BA interrogate a guy who’s high as a kite on weed before Goren and Deakins play “Know Your Bible Quotes.” And Goren utters his famous library card line.
Alex is squeamish about embalming – and if a guy asked you if you wanted your anus stuffed with cotton, like he does Goren, wouldn’t you be?
Deakins’ buddy married a stripper with fake breasts . . . oh, Captain, TMI.
Gaffigan won’t let BA take a nature walk to his mass grave, which is really quite a disturbing sight.
“Fing-a-nails” Goren? You really are a New York boy, or is it just because you’re talking about the Masucci mob? Goren has either seen or read The Spy Who Came in from the Cold.
A hitman who should’ve used Ziplock tries to intimidate our duo, but they don’t bat an eyelash and instead, Goren makes him crazy paranoid.
Bobby highkicks a tire to make himself a seat.
Clothes Call: Goren’s library card (we’ll call it a fashion accessory), Alex’s vivid blue interrogation shirt, the precious professor outfit of the zealot
Quotable:
[Goren presses on a dead guy’s goopy sores]
E: You must have been so much fun in biology class.
G: [smelling puss] Actually, my biology teacher, Mr. Dixon, didn’t think I was much fun at all.
Goren: I need to use my most important investigative tool. My library card.
[After getting evidence on his hands.]
Robert Goren: I need to get my hands to a lab.
[a dead woman with a pacemaker who was apparently cremated]
Alex Eames: You think he would have remembered if she'd exploded in his oven.

Tuxedo Hill 1.22
BA take a venture into capitalist, white-collar crime.
Goren questions a little girl really sweetly and shows himself to be quite the child advocate.
I’m with Deakins on this one, Goren makes a case out of nothing: a few words from a kid, a missing glove, a random mint rapper (above everything else, Goren knows his mint brands). Either way, the mints are described as “an acquired taste” – no wonder our boy knows them! They’re practically related!
She fought it in the beginning, but Eames is now trusting Goren wherever he may go. All he has is less than a box of $50 mints and she’s backing him up 100% and raiding offices with him.
Goren asserts himself with an office woman; she takes one look at big strapping Bobby and is eager to seductively gossip. Eames is too busy wondering where to get a plumber on a Saturday, but not too busy to place bets with her partner.
In interrogation, Goren fights to keep a serious face while choking on a mint, Eames offers that “they’re real zesty” and tries to grill a suspect with the gross mint in her mouth. Bobby still acts as the mint pusher.
Our gang isn’t afraid of big business, even though they may have no idea what in the world the business does, and boards its plane anyway. Eames zips around the compartment, but Goren is restrained.
Goren plays with an “itty-bitty little doggy” and takes on a conversational tone – a beauty-before-brains girlfriend runs her mouth about a diamond collar and makes Goren a very happy man. Eames is all smiles at the prospect of an engagement party, at which Ron “The Closing Bell” Carver (greatest description of the man EVER) is more concerned about his stock options.
Clothes Call: We could do without Alex’s boxy suit jackets, apparently she used up all her fashion mojo last episode.
Who was it that said the greatest fashion accessory of all time is a smile? We’ll give this one to Goren, who gives a great smirk before fade to black.
Quotable:
Deakins [to Goren]: Something for the rest of the class?
Lady: It’s ridiculous. Ms. Dawson wouldn’t have a gun in here. She’d have to get it past security.
Eames: You mean the old lady downstairs knitting a sweater?
Karyn Milner: A gun? Why on earth are you looking for a gun here?
Goren: That’s what we do.
Alex Eames: That makes it two coincidences.
Robert Goren: One more and it's a conspiracy.
Robert Goren: V.P.C.F.
Jack Crawley: I'm not familiar with that acronym.
Robert Goren: Oh, I just made it up.
(Crawley rattles off a financial-jargon explanation of Tuxedo Hill, Goren and Eames exchange glances.)
Alex Eames: We have no idea what you just said.
[BA board a private plane]
G: It’s a tight fit.
E: Fine for me.
[A crooked businessman’s fiancé goes off on him in interrogation, rats him out, them storms out]
Goren [claps his hands]: Well.
Eames: Put your hands behind your back.
Businessman: No, look, I can give you names!
[Carver enters the room]
Goren: Too late. There’s the closing bell.

Faith 1.21
It’s the Night Listener episode and Goren and Eames are Bad. Ass. – pushin’ people around, totally tough and crazy cool – the only smart people in the room. They also do everything together and show real teamwork, though Goren does put most of the pieces together. They walk around the entire episode looking at each other like, are they for real? Do they think we’re complete idiots?
Douglas sounds a lot like one of the characters from “Beauty and the Beast” . . . Belle’s father and CI prostitutes are always good for a laugh.
Eames sure was paying attention in Arson 101 and identifies nail polish remover as the agent used . . . always putting that good fashion sense to good use.
BA putter around a dead “sentimental old bird” of a Pulitzer Prize winner’s house and play with his belongings. Alex, for not the last time, shows herself to be the much more technologically advanced of our duo.
Goren calls medical equipment a hobby/special interest. Really?
Captain Deakins helps flip some switches for Goren as he cutely thinks out the murder’s gender.
Goren leans a little to get the Pulitzer’s daughter’s attention – she and her brother are pretty quick to label their dead patriarch a “sex addict”. That’s devotion.
Deakins’ apparently got better things to do as BA do their report walk-n-talk style and is quick to delegate.
Goren pretends to be well-read and Eames goes along and plays dumb. Everyone’s trying to make Eames feel bad for this little girl and leave her alone . . . Eames ain’t havin’ it.
Goren throws around the super-personal questions (Deakins: If I hadn’t heard it with my own ears . . .) and “Erica” spews some self-help mumbo-jumbo on the phone in Deakins’ office. But she is quick to notice through Alex’s voice that she spends a lot of time talking to kids (we learn that she has none, but we all now know she has a bunch of nieces and nephews). “Erica” hopes Eames has kids one day . . . all very much foreshadowing Eames surrogating for her sister in a couple years. Alex brings them coffee.
Our dynamic duo has an adorable back and forth with Carver and look cutely pleased with each other.
Undercover Alex plays an eager grad student and Bobby her “thesis” partner: How ya doin’? Alex can’t believe people are this easily hoodwinked and BA spend the whole episode going, “Ah, people!? Hello!?”
Undercover again, this time Goren takes the lead. Goren bullies a pharmacist and almost drops a check for $800 and looks kinda nervous about it: 800? This girl never heard of medical insurance? and is quick to grab it back.
In interrogation, the looney foster mother has Goren speechless for a second and Goren plays with gravel then has to explain things to the angel-talking foster mother like a child, but he is impressed with her delusional commitment. Her poor husband just seems to be along for the ride, does this guy even say one word the entire episode? Apparently we were looking to cut costs and didn’t want to pay this guy to so much as sneeze.
Well, while we’re throwin’ around the word “delusional” let’s not forget to mention the editor – who earlier in the episode gets one of the best character reveals (we see her in the opener, but have no idea who she is until a door opens later in the episode).
Not an emotionally trying episode for our pair, a whole investigation later and BA are still unmoved by the whole thing: “Erica will be so disappointed in them.”
Clothes Call: Alex dresses with a lot of personality in this eppie: her baby blue embellished sweater-shirt in interrogation, the crazy coat with the fur trim when undercover as a grad student.
Goren in the Captain’s office – look at that big mop of black curls!
Quotable:
Cop: Lucy Hotpants there thinks the guy died of spontaneous combustion.
G: Right after he’s “spontaneously” hit in the head.
[after reading an engraving on a watch]
Woman: Romantic, don’t you think?
Eames: You don’t want to know what I think.
Medic: She’s already been through a lot. I mean, you read the book.
Goren: Yeah, sure – the book.
Carver: Cantler – the geneticist with the bestseller?
Goren: Two bestsellers and four wives. Apparently the professor likes the ladies. . . . and vice-a-versa.
Eames: You know us – we like men who play with the building blocks of life.
