Agreed, another good one, but one of the resolution bits didn’t sit right with me: Was visitor booth five unused in the couple of days between the info exchange and the interrogation? 'Cause it seems to me that at some point, _someone_ would’ve put their hand on the glass and smeared that picture-perfect writing at least a _little_ bit. ---

Brenda’s not above reconstructing evidence. She would have checked first to see if it was still there, but if it wasn’t, well . . . vicious pregnant killer confessed, so all A-OK. I liked that little nod Provenza gave her at the end. She needed that. It was rough. ---

Speaking of Provenza, I’d like to know who played kickball with his heart in the offseason… ---

Poor kitty. I hope he gets better. ---

> [@Eleanor\_of\_Aquitaine](#): > > Poor kitty. I hope he gets better. I stopped the dvr at that point - I assumed he wont - was there hope at the end? (I have a soft spot for pets, no need for them to be anything but healthy and happy on tv shows). Please spoil for me what was said… ---

He was OK at the end, but I feel it is not promising. I frankly thought he was going to have died, to have Brenda parallel the feelings of the poor man whose family was mistakenly killed. I didn’t want Kitty to die, but it would have made more sense in a literary way. ---

I don’t remember exactly what was said, but Fritz made it pretty clear – she’s headed for kitty heaven. ---

I was appalled that Pregnant Stars in Her Eyes twit would murder four people like that in cold blood. Yes, I know it happens…but damn, sweetheart. There’s a reason your boyfriend is in jail. It means he’s bad. It doesn’t matter how good the orgasms are. Gabriel’s ex-girlfriend…I forgot her name. Has the actress left the show? I think I liked it when they were sniping at each other. ---

> [@ivylass](#): > > Gabriel’s ex-girlfriend…I forgot her name. Has the actress left the show? I think I liked it when they were sniping at each other. Irene Daniels. At the end of last season she and Gabriel had both applied for the promotion to another department (remember Provenza yelled at them for disrupting the group) but nobody mentioned it in this episode. ---

That’s her. I guess she got the promotion, but I didn’t know if the actress had moved on to other projects. (What, Brenda can be the only woman?) IIRC, Daniels was pretty good with the forensic accounting end of the investigations.
