Fantastic conclusion to the story arcs, second best episode of the season so far, however I think it all concluded a bit too neatly. Also most of the episode endings have been really great and this one was pretty basic, doesn't get you excited for the next episode. In a way this does feel like a finale, but there's still 5 episodes and some loose threads to deal with. I'm waiting for Tavon to come back and the money train problem to be dealt with now. 5 episodes being left I think there's probably going to be some other things set up, and I'm excited to see what it all builds up to. Personally whilst I love season 2 I thought that the first half was better than the second, and the while the finale is amazing, it's not as good as the first finale because it didn't really have much build up comparatively, so I'm hoping this season doesn't have the same problem.
To mention specifics about the episode:
It was very intense to see Aceveda going after the guy who sexually assaulted him. It was crazy how he actually killed one of the dudes, but he couldn't kill the guy who assaulted him because the cops arrived too quick. His interrogation with him was absolutely incredible. Aceveda has always been a really good character but now he's become almost to the level of the protagonist. Currently my favorite 3 characters and the ones I believe are the best written are Vic, Aceveda and Dutch.
The scene with Vic's son drawing the therapist as his dad is pretty sad. I like how there's actual consequences to Vic's jealously of the therapist. I do have to say out of all the storylines though this one feels most dated, and not as well executed as it could've been. To be fair it was one of the first TV shows to do this storyline as far as I know so it gets some leniency, but I hope to see more nuance and development with this storyline in the future.
Shane revealing who got the money was very well executed. The tensions between the team are rising, and I could see there maybe being a fallout from this. I really like how this plot is unfolding.
The conclusion of the rapist case though was kind of underwhelming. For something we spent so much time with I just feel like they could've done a bit more with it. What a surprise to see Clark Gregg though! The wife's reaction is pretty interesting though, maybe she'll come back.
The main plot with the Armenians is building up though, and I'm excited to see where it leads, though this was the least interesting part of the episode to be honest.
