Monday Night at the Humane Society
Warehouse 13
This episode featured a sighting of that rare animal, Grown-Up Pete! Wow! It was magical! Okay, I'm being sarcastic, but post-S1 Pete is really my least favorite character on the show, and I'm always pleased when we get glimpses of the competent adult he was for what I saw of S1. And grown-up Pete was here for the whole episode! Excellent!
I wasn't too into Myka's storyline, largely because I didn't remember anything about Sam from the pilot beyond the fact that he existed, and also because when Joanne Kelly plays "upset" her voice tends to rise to a pitch that makes me grind my teeth together. However, it did showcase the very nice brother/sister vibe she has with Pete, which was all for the good.
Claudia, Steve, and Artie's plotline was more entertaining. Oh, I wish Claudia'd been able to get a picture of Artie and the dog with their matching hats, because that was hilarious. Plus there was Pavlov's bell! And the dog running after the scarab (Southern Sally's bugs from the painting last week, I suppose?), and they're KEEPING THE DOGGIE! YES! AWWWWWW! That really was a cute dog. I hope we see him/her every once in a while.
And now they're on to Southern Sally's schemes, hooray!
Rizzoli & Isles
Well, they managed to take the inherently interesting topic of the Salem witch trials and make it duller than dishwater. Uh...congrats?
But we aren't here for the plots, we're here for Jane and Maura acting like they're married, and we got quite a bit of it this time! I laughed long and hard at Mama Rizzoli bugging Jane about having kids while Jane was having breakfast with Maura. Because obviously Maura should be in on discussions of that topic. Also, with the way they were attached at the hip, I was surprised Lily didn't ask if Maura was also her aunt.
That said, I found the Frankie could be a father!!! storyline completely pointless, but whatever. I guess they had to give the guy something to do that didn't involve begging to be involved in detective work. (Heh, did anyone else catch Frost calling Frankie the new guy and telling him to break down the door near the end? Speaking of Frost, he just gets more likeable with each episode. He likes horror films!)
Korsak got to rescue another kitty. Awww. It was animal adoption night on TV!
Final question: Why was a seven-year-old drinking from a sippy cup? I'm pretty sure I'd moved on to the same glasses (made of glass) that everyone else used by age four, and I don't think that was unusual.
