As I mentioned above, Lynch is brilliant as Starkey.

(Lets not forget parallel construction.)

Maia barely manages to keep her composure, and theres a subtle quiver in Leslies lip thats particularly affecting.

Unfortunately, the revelations dont end there.

(She had a boyfriend at the time but spent half the party making out with Amy outside.)

The camera closes in on Maias face as she fights to hold back tears.

This episode also evokes the premiere by pairing up Adrian and Diane.

Like Lucca with Maia, Adrian was there for Diane in the pilot.

Both of them admit that they enjoy the fight and the pressure of the work theyre doing.

For example, it comes out that Sweeney was somehow in the running for the German ambassadorship position.

Anyway, Adrian and Diane manage to get Sweeney off and Thoreau kicked off the force.

And thus the episode ends.
