Major Crimes: Season 2, Episode 7 “Rules of Engagement” (B+)
It was only a matter of time before Jack crossed professional paths with Sharon. Of course, in this case, it was at her suggestion, though the way in which she plotted it was highly deceptive and rather unkind, which is a shame. It’s not as if Jack has created the best impression despite his current efforts to atone for the absent father he used to be, but he still didn’t quite deserve to be brought in as the public defender only to have his client throw him out because Sharon revealed that he was actually her husband. Sanchez always gets particularly passionate about cases involving gangs, and the idiotic Ruiz failing to comprehend the complexity of the situation didn’t help matters. Him lashing out at her has been coming for a long time now, and her continued verbalized bafflement at how Sharon has a relationship with multiple people in her professional life is only serving to make her more of a pariah. On the subject of Rusty, his strong desire not to have dinner with Chris’ family was rather entertaining, particularly because of the reactions it brought from those he asked to make excuses for him. Jack snapping at him when he picked a bad time to bring it up was unfortunate, but I’m sure he’ll be able to get over it. I enjoyed the fact that Assistant Chief Taylor participated in Flynn’s game of naming coincidences to get the bottom of who exactly was involved and in what way.
