See what happens when you mouth off to the youth of America? They shoot you in the face and then they steal your drugs. Then they try to poorly imitate Shawn Michaels (old school WWF, anyone?).
Goren tries to convince a punk to get in the ring with him. Punk declines and Goren and Eames take out a pharmacy kid instead -- during which Goren actually draws his gun!
Goren’s doing all kinds of wacky things in the pharmacy. He climbs up on the counter (unnerving a pharmacist, but Eames doesn’t even bat an eyelash), buys a lighter, and holds it up to the sprinkler system. We get a great shot of him with the light – and something in his eyes tells us he REALLY hopes he’s right and the thing doesn’t flood the place (it doesn’t).
Goren actually turns down food while questioning a birthday boy drug rep, but (don’t worry) he accepts cake later.
In one of the most heartbreaking B-stories of CI, BA meet a vegetable growing widower. Goren struggles to find the words to explain that his wife died unnecessarily, and Eames steps in, but quickly figures out the widower and his widow did a agreed upon euthanization.
BA takes this to Carver as a hypothetical. Carver doesn’t like hypotheticals and wants it straight, but BA stand firm with their “do you think we’re stupid?” looks. But it does light a fire under their asses to get better evidence to hide the widower.
BA do some dumpster diving, too bad we don’t get to see it. Eames probably had something witty to say about it.
BA get mad props from a pastor. Oh, do they love taking on ‘pillars of the community’!
Theme of the episode: Good people doing good deeds by bending the rules a little bit. Eames doesn’t even blink when Goren suggests she heard ‘one hour’ and not ‘two days’. *wink wink* *nudge nudge*
Goren’s giving a nice speech on the church steps, but all we can think is this: Why haven’t D’Onofrio and Mark Ruffalo ever played brothers? I mean look at them – they’re Method acting twins!
Clothes Call: Eames is growing her hair out and her stripped shirt in the very last scene
Quotable:
[Goren climbs up on a pharmacy counter]
Pharmacist: Excuse me, but . . .
Eames: Don’t worry, he does this all the time.
Rogers: Nine families gave me permission to exhume the bodies.
Goren: Only nine? You must have some bedside manner.
Rogers: There's a reason I work with dead people.
Goren: You see, we did a little dumpster diving. It’s pretty nasty.
Pastor: You two make a very good team.
