The Old and the Dead

After all the events of the previous episode we finally come to some normal times, and this it's more an episode typical of the show.

After Bolander finally recovers he and Munch return together on duty putting the shooting behind and returning to solve cases. However it's not easy as Bolander has trouble in falling asleep and Howard has her desk moved. Soon after Bolander and Munch investigate the brutal murder of two wealthy old people, Felton and Bayliss investigate on a skeleton dug up in a backyard in a Baltimore neighborhood that might be connected to a family with powerful connections to mob bosses. In the end Giardello promotes Megan Russert from Lieutenant to Captain and to the celebration comes TV host Tim Russert, an intentional pun based on one of the major characters' last name.

One of those episodes where they resorted to an appearence of a TV personality because it has the same last name of one of the major characters (and as the other reviewer put it, if instead of Megan Russert it was Megan Murphy then they should have called Eddie Murphy). Among the most watchable episodes in the series so far.
