Did anybody else see this? Except for the mind-blowing twist ending, this was a particularly awful episode. Furnell’s daughter (I’d forgotten that he had one) winds up in the hospital ICU after an opioid overdose (Ripped from today’s headlines!) and the whole thing winds up being a cheap swipe at Canadian pharmacies, you know, the ones Americans who can’t afford $500/dose for insulin or Diapram go to. This just seemed really tone-deaf. The show’s sponsors, at least for the online version, seem to include a lot of pharmaceutical companies, so it seems like the producers know which side of their bread’s getting buttered.
Wilmer Valderama and Emily Wickersham were just going through the motions this whole episode, compounding the suspicion that one of them won’t be back next season. I really hope the next season focuses on the culture clash between the old school lunkheads and the computer dweebs; this should have been the show’s focus since Vance made the comment about future agents looking “a lot less like Tony and a lot more like McGee.”
