A smartly scripted episode professionally acted throughout, depicting the trials of Brenda working the pitfalls of a group of unforgiving officers and a micro-managing boss.
The episode title refers to the reaction the killer had; the critical moment beyond which a situation inevitably erupts into violence, as one dictionary states. A psychiatrist is found murdered in his office, no immediate sign of any items stolen, personal or otherwise. The collaborating doctor, the psychiatrist's spouse, the parents of a deceased patient, and the minor-aged-patients are all interviewed by different Priority Homicide Division officers. The suspect list begins with an unruly student, then the parents of a fallen student in the drug-study-experiment.
Bottom-line is a psychiatrist is murdered by his fellow collaborating-doctor because of the illicit behavior discovered by the victim involving minors while in the murderer's care. He also caused the coma to the teen-patient by taking her off the medication.
Brenda has Buzz play back interviews of drug dealer and Gretchen Shiller. The drug dealer student speaks, I didn't care, I was getting a placebo anyway. Now Brenda knows, uttering to the dual-screens and Buzz, I was concentrating on the wrong person. Brenda is referring to the drug dealer as the wrong person rather than Gretchen. Det. Gabriel, I'm going to need Gretchen's cell phone again and I want to see your notes from your interview with Dr. Rainey's wife. Brenda has Pope release the officer guarding Dr. Rainey's office, making his files completely accessible. Gretchen Schiller mentions something in her interview and her cell phone records tip Brenda into suspecting the collaborating physician.
An aside to the storyline, the actress portraying Gretchen is Danielle Savre, born August 26, 1988. Episode 5 was filmed before her 17th birthday, the age of the actress & character matches. The detectives were ogling at a sixteen-year-old.
Pope to Flynn, handing Flynn a one-page document, Lieutenant Flynn, Deputy Chief Johnson's authorization for a wire. I want it run through the van and through our electronics room here. You'll have to split up the squad, but you've gotten pretty good at that, haven't you? You leak to the press again, I'll have your stripes. Got it? Lt. Flynn acknowledges. Pope's final orders, give her the authorization, take the night off, let the people here do their job.
More antecedent information: Lt. Flynn will continue his testing of Brenda's patience throughout most of season one, proving he is opposed to having her as boss. Lt. Provenza is so set in his orthopedic ways, he fails to visualize the expertise Chief Johnson brings to the LAPD. Provenza is generally eating when Brenda calls upon him to assist. He thinks the cases are solved before his boss determines the true guilty party, another officer that will be very slow to become a true team player.
