“My Darling Eve”
”A man that studieth revenge keeps his own wounds green.” – Francis BaconCharacter-wise. Where were they? We barely see Dr. Mira. The whole Roarke family is over from Ireland and we only get a blip or three of them? Mavis appears over on the sidelines — if you stand on tiptoe, you might see her. We got a bit of the fun of the squad room with the tie battle, but where were Baxter and Trueheart? Jenkinson gets the most facetime, well, his tie does. The banter with Peabody was largely missing — except for the pink comments at the start. Feeney got more time than McNab, and that wasn't much. And I kept hoping for some fun at the Thanksgiving dinner...and kept waiting and waiting and... I enjoyed Nixie's prayer...made me tear up. But I was expecting repartee, conversation, a meeting (and conversing) among friends.
