This episode has so much going on. A runaway hot air balloon starts things off. Then a crazy lady steels the truck, a city worker trying to trim some trees from the power lines. Of course, see hits the power lines and causes a massive blackout. This creates problems for a lot of people and keeps the LAFD busy. Inside this story is a story of being suck in an elevator, the wrap up of the story about the serial rapist, a medical check, and a lot of other little stories to finish things off. Of course, this episode was promoted with the return of Abby. She gets about 2 seconds of screen time, so don’t hold her breath waiting for her to appear. Granted, they leave her story in a place that it will be the main story of the next episode.
Overall, this episode just has so much going on that it amazes me that it gets all of it in. Even some really special moments get worked in. It also proved a few of my thoughts on the last episode to be true. I can’t wait to see what happens next, even if I suspect I won’t like it all that much.
