    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The Brady bill that Lucy mentions, named for James Brady, Ronald Reagan's press secretary, was an Act of Congress that mandated federal background checks on gun purchasers and imposed a five-day waiting period, until the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) was implemented in 1998. The bill was first introduced into the House of Representatives by Chuck Schumer in 1991, but was never brought to a vote; Schumer re-introduced it in February 1993, it was signed into law by President Clinton that November, and went into effect in February 1994. Since NICS's implementation, more than 200 million Brady background checks have been conducted.

    • Quotes

      Denise Christopher: [after the team returns from their mission] I've waited 37 years to say thank you to you.

      [shakes Wyatt's hand]

      Wyatt Logan: No thanks necessary, ma'am.

      Denise Christopher: Well, you saved my life twice. Guess that's why I always knew you were the right man for this job.

      [turns to Lucy and Jiya]

      Denise Christopher: "Cagney" and "Lacey."

      [Jiya and Lucy walk up to her laughing]

      Denise Christopher: You saved my family. I've never forgotten that.

      [Lucy hugs her]

      Lucy Preston: I'm so sorry to put that kind of pressure on you. I can't imagine the stress.

    Hoped for better
    I am a fan of this show and have enjoyed some high quality episodes in the 'past'.

    However I feel this has been the weakest episode in the show's history. The strength of the show is the great historic events the team travel to and the internal conflicts they face. Lucy, Wyatt and Rufus are very likeable trio who are interesting and fun to watch. Even Jiya and sometimes Connor hit a few home runs but they and agent Christopher are sideline characters. It's fine to have them come along for the ride but the episode should be about history and the beloved trio. They did this right with Connor coming along for the ride with the blues singer episode but it was not all about Connor. I can see the need to involve the sideliners more but the mistake was to make the episode all about the agent and history took a back seat. It should have been more about the historic event. This is where the show shines.

    Not a great episode and kind of weak for such a great show.
