The summary of this episode says that it involves a clear case of entrapment. No, it does not. Entrapment occurs when law enforcement personnel coerce a person into committing a crime which that person would not ordinarily do and then arresting that person for the crime. That is not what happened in this episode. In this case, the police set out some bate and scooped up the people who took it. There was no coercion. The people who took the bait did so of their own free will without the police saying or doing anything to them until they were arrested. It was clearly not entrapment.
Also, just in case there may be some controversy about this, I asserted that it does not contain spoilers because the events described occur at the very beginning of the episode. The drama occurs as a result of how the department deals with the situation that results.
