“YOU WERE THERE I SAW YOU” as the episode comes to an end.

A couple of notes.

Tommy is taking this case more personally than anyone else besides Rusty, which should make for some good television.

Those familiar with the 1990 movie understand things are moving a little differently. It will be fascinating to see how they play this out.

A solid episode, even if it’s not the best viewing for Father’s Day.
