Little happens in a small town of a crime nature. To overcome that, the writer(s) use nearby Boston and/or visitors to the town to generate interest. In this episode, they have Jesse working on an unsolved murder. The bloom is off the rose. This is a 5 or 6.
It's very hard to keep up quality in a series. It turns into soap opera after awhile. That happened here to some extent. Molly is pregnant and out of the picture, replaced by Rose, who grows in the job due to Jesse's management style. Suit wakes up from his coma with enhanced detective abilities. Jesse continues his informal parenting of young adults, usually female. Thugs from Boston still harass Jesse. Devane continues to probe Jesse.
My sense is that Jesse cannot fall out of love with his ex-wife, and continual phone conversations don't help. Also, although he thinks about baseball and what he thinks he should have done with his life, being a policeman is more his calling. He's good at all facets of the job except one: he's inclined to make himself the judge and punisher. He breaks the law. He is guilty about his violent streak. What about his lawless streak? In that, his ethic is utilitarian, according to the good that Jesse sees. But how can a man punish someone who parks in a red zone and then go ahead and steal evidence or assault someone he dislikes or encourage Rose to do so? The writers are not continuing to go more deeply as the actions of Jesse pile up questions. If they'd have Devane confront him over these issues, that might help. Otherwise, we are led to believe that justice requires underhanded and illegal methods by Jesse. Let's face it. He's human. He can err. This is bound to happen, sooner or later. How will he live with a mistake that hurts someone?
