After I finished with MY BLUE HEAVEN, I watched the last two episodes of THE CLOSER. Both were among my favorite episodes of the season. The next-to-last becasue it featured hunky guest star Jason O'Mara playing a role which was miles away from his noble leading character on IN JUSTICE.
(In fact, this may be the recurring character coming back on this week's episode if it isn't Douglas Sills.)
The last of the first season's episodes finally had the squad standing behind their female chief in a show of loyalty when she was threatened with an Internal Affairs investigation. The mystery of this episode was probably the easiest to predict of any during the season, but the squad's camaraderie finally gelling with Brenda was tear-inducing.
