Good episode. I think at this point it's safe to say that this show is prone to some very slow starts, but it does seem to eventually get back on track like this season has. There's more police work and more crime now, and the various splintered plot threads begin to slowly link together and converge. I also get used to some of the plot lines that I'm not too fond to begin with because I suppose I don't have much choice. I still am not really interested in the school but now that the kids are mixing with Marlo's crew, it's getting more interesting. And now that the politics are getting more involved in the police department itself, that's also more engaging. Marlo has definitely become the most interesting part of the season, and Omar is still one of the best characters in the show and I'm looking forward to seeing how their conflict pans out
