I've just started S2 - but all the eps are on my PC which is currently in pieces :( so my catching up is being sadly delayed. But I'm enjoying the show.
Maybe I should re-watch the episode since I was so meh for the whole episode save for the parts with Crews and Reese interacting.
Seever is not winning me and I hope the next few episodes would but this episode kind of validate my thinking that I don't see Union pulling off the acting chops required of someone acting against DL's caliber.
Besides... Seever seems so much like a rookie when you compare her to Reese, actually every time Seever held a gun she looked misplaced using it. I do wonder why she thinks being a cop would help her become mayor. It's not exactly a popular route, I'd think being a DA would be a much better chance.
As for the partners, I was screaming: 'DAMMIT, SIT DOWN AND JUST TALK ALREADY!' at the monitor and at the same time my heart broke for them. They seemed so miserable suspecting each other.
But I aww'd when Reese said: 'Don't forget about me.' and then I see them staring at the other's incriminating photos and I'm once again compelled to scream: 'TALK TO EACH OTHER, DAMMIT!'
I agree about Gabrielle Union. But she is tall. I like that. *g*
And I agree about Reese and Crews (as you probably saw, above). Exactly right --- why wouldn't they just ask each other? They've been working together for awhile; they totally trust each other; the entirety of the problem is a photograph of two people talking. HUH? This is the insurmountable obstacle? One conversation. Jeez.
And because I know SS is pregnant, it feels like just a device sometimes and takes me out of the story.
I gathered from the end that Charlie returned to the theater and provoked Lyle into attacking him. Lyle didn't commit the murder but Charlie realized that Lyle was a bad guy who would kill again. So he arranged for Lyle to attack a cop and break his parole and get tossed back into the slammer

Right, that makes sense. Sprining from Lyle's comment about there not being anything left to take a picture of, next time.
I just wish we'd gotten to see it.
I agree! I love it when Charlie deliberately provokes bad guys. It's kinda hot.
It was obviously (more so on Jack's side) a very confrontational picture, which doesn't jibe cleanly with Charlie's reassurance a couple of weeks ago that Jack was not part of the conspiracy. Now she's suspicious of everything.I think you're absolutely right; that makes sense. It still doesn't sit quite right for me (what the show is doing, not your explanation). Reese knew that Charlie was investigating her father's role in the conspiracy. And there's a photo of them arguing. So what? Why wouldn't

It's VERY hot.
It's hot in the same way it was when he was Winters. (Even though he'll always be Winters, really.) Both Charlie and Dick are very even-tempered people and, at the heart of them, not violent. And when they do resort to violence, it's also sort of calm, in a weird way. Controlled.
Which is ... yep. Hot.
And there's a photo of them arguing. So what? Why wouldn't they have a heated conversation?
We also have to add in Reese's natural pessimism. I think she instinctively believes the worst about her father. He's probably the one who made her this way. So even though Charlie told her that Jack was innocent, I can see that just not sitting right in her mind and therefore it would only take a small spark to rouse her suspicion again.
The whole photos thing confused me too, but I think you're right, deen. I also have to guess that Dani's phone is being bugged and my instinct is thatif the FBI knew she would see Crews in person, she would be asked to wear a wire. Thing is, they know each other so well at this point that they could have that conversation without actually saying too many words
