a failed experiment

Given what happened to Kay in this episode it is kind of hard to believe that she would return to her job feeling reenergized as she seems to be. However, maybe her feeling is one of relief of realizing that for all the ugliness that Charm City can muster up at times it’s more comfortable dealing with murder there than in a place that you once called sacred. ‘Last of the Waterman’ ironically only works as an episode whenever it goes away from its main story. Maybe it’s because Baldwin and Braugher have a much more energetic interaction than Leo’s interactions with her family or maybe it’s because of the differences with the story. Whatever the case, this kind of exploration into the detectives lives would be tried again but never quite like this. The creators would learn their lessons well.
