The Closer: Season 7, Episode 6 “Home Improvement” (B+)
Now that her squad is no longer involved, Brenda still has her share of legal woes as she has the chance to meet her extraordinarily expensive and rather obnoxious attorney. Mark Pellegrino, best known as Jacob from “Lost,” is a fun choice to play flamboyant lawyer Gavin Q. Baker, and I have no doubt that he’s going to make Brenda’s life miserable for the next few episodes. Deciding to cook at home and canceling the paper, landline, and cable television are definitely rash moves, and it’s good that Fritz opts to pay for the lawyer and ensure that he doesn’t tell Brenda that he’s the one paying for it. Giving Pope credit definitely stings, and I hope that won’t make him resent Brenda. This episode’s case was rather enthralling, presenting an almost incalculable number of suspects as the murder victim turned out to be a convicted sex offender. I enjoyed having Brenda and Fritz, however unwillingly, pose as doctors to look at the backyard and interior of the house, circumnavigating the letter of the law in order to garner the proof she needs to arrest the right people. The really dumb husband figuring out what he should have said after the fact was amusing, as was the sight of the young child being entertained by Sanchez and a lunch-eating Pope. In terms of guest stars, I was pleased to recognize Robyn Cohen from “Gravity” as the initial mother who instructed her daughter on how to react if she saw the rapist. The sight of that detained garden gnome at the end of the episode was a rather hilarious note on which to end.
