Another week, another Closer. This one is decidedly darker than last week’s season premiere. Someone is raping and murdering illegal female immigrants and the Major Crimes Unit is on the case. Additionally, Brenda is being shadowed and questioned by Internal Affairs Captain Sharon Raydor as Assistant Will Pope is in possible line to become chief of police. Raydor is a thorn in Brenda’s side, to say the least.

Fans of Battlestar Galactica will recognize Mary McDonnell as the president of the colonies in the role of Raydor. And fans of LOST will be thrilled to see Titus Welliver (the man in black) in this episode as a husband/father/hirer of a nanny who goes missing. All in all, this is another solid episode from the cast of The Closer. Interestingly enough, my copy of the screener didn’t include the final scene, but text at the end suggested that there’s going to be a cliffhanger with this episode. So tune in to find out what’s going on. I know I will be.
