Could have better pacing.

Warning: Spoilers
We get three POVs : Luca's, the widow's and a freelance photographer's (he had shown Luca an exit that the suspect did end up taking.)

Luca was pretty straightforward, the widow painted Luca as a cold killer and her estranged husband as about to surrender, while the photographer was a little mix of the other two and a pinch or two of self-involvement. The truth comes out and the series ends.

Before that, we get a mean-mugging son (who stalks Dom), a photographer who tells Hondo that he disagrees with SWAT on general principle yet gets angry at the idea of Hondo thinking that the photog is okay with Luca going up for potential manslaughter.

Also, no one takes the photographer's camera and bag, even though he is a material witness! Luca, of course, mentioned him, yet the widow never mentioned him. The photographer was supposedly interviewed 20 times( granted, possibly exaggeration) and no one- not even the DA/ADA thought to get the bag, photos and camera?

We start the episode with a woman's estranged husband shooting her boss because the husband believes she's sleeping with the boss. He makes ugly statements about her; I don't entirely believe that she'd be so unforgiving to Luca.

I know things were drawn out a bit more at the time. It doesn't mean that story beats couldn't be tighter and give us episode characters a bit deeper than half a sentence.

Still, it was O. G. S. W. A. T. I'll still watch it.
