I have been waiting for an episode that is centred around Torres and Imani creating a real bond together. This episode delivered everything and more regarding those two.
It’s quite funny because it’s such a small moment and it’s literally just one look. At the start of the episode when we get Torres and Imani seamlessly going back and forth with giving each other things and the look between Burgess and Ruzek was hilarious. It was exactly how I was feeling in the moment watching the two of them, I loved it.
Overall the premise of this episode was great, I liked that it was something that we haven’t covered on the show before. We’ve seen people be reluctant to talk to the police but we’ve never seen them have this much of a barrier to them trying to solve a serious crime for people. I thought it was a really great way to show that sometimes you don’t get the help you need to solve the crime and you have to take different steps to get to saving the victim.
I liked that we got to see Torres let his emotions and annoyance out over the obstacles that they were facing, especially because he trusts people so much that when that gets taken advantage of it’s frustrating for the audience too.
There was a small moment when the crew (minus Donovan) was walking together at the crime scene and they looked like such a powerhouse team. If I was in Chicago I would definitely want them on my side.
I loved finally being able to see Torres and Imani work together, it’s like everything was so easy for them.
The last time we really got to see them work together was when she helped him with the Odell Morgan case and I have been waiting to see them together again since. It’s clear that subconsciously they have developed a great relationship.
The last scene was so incredible, I think the two of them could end up being more than just friends but honestly for now I quite like them admitting that they are friends.
The back and forth between them was so great to watch, especially him telling her everything that he notices about her. Her quips back in an attempt to kind of push him away a bit and it not working in the slightest because he just came back with something that made it such a fun scene to watch.
I loved this episode so much and I am so glad that we are finally going to see this friendship between Torres and Imani unfold.
