Wow, nice cars! I usually don’t get excited about cars but these were beauties! Why did they have to dirty down one of them with a dead body in the trunk? Disrespectful!

The guy from Desperate Housewives! Yey!

Funny when he insulted the car salesmen, very Jane!

Jane: Liselle’s clients are gonna need a new broker aren’t they? And I think that my associate, agent Cho here left her client list upstairs in your brake room. It might be a little goolish to grab it up so soon but it is still up there and someone at some point will…[All the salesmen starts running for the brake room except for one]
Cho: I’ve got the client list right here, its evidence. Why did you do that for?
Jane: I have eliminated this man from any suspicion. To honest to profit from a killing, too honest to kill. Right?
Sales man: Right.

Cute man!

To the car shop owner:
Jane: And when sharks stop swimming they drown.

That doesn’t make any sense. How can a shark drown?

Scary when Lisbon called Van Pelt and Rigsby in for a meeting. So sad that someone of them might get transferred, meaning leaving the show.

Lisbon: Okay then, as your supervisor I have to report the relationship to employee support services. I’m gonna do it as soon as we close this case. Do you have any questions?
Van Pelt: But, they’ll make one of us transfer out of the unit.
Lisbon: Yes, they will. That’s the rule, you know that. You can go now.

Sad musician guy. Good actor playing him. But Jane didn’t like him:

Jane: Oh stop, self pity will kill you, take it from someone who knows.

Beautiful talk between Jane and Lisbon, Jane letting Lisbon vent her feelings about reporting Van Pelt and Rigsby:

Lisbon: Okay, I am not jealous and resentful that is nonsense.
Jane: Yet, you recall my exact words. There’s no shame in it. I feel that way too sometimes. Why does everyone else get to live a normal life?
Lisbon: My life is fine.
Jane: Normally you rise above such crave and emotions but in this case you’re hands are tied. It’s the rules, you’re forced to do what your worst self is telling you to do anyway. Hence your tension headache.
Lisbon: I don’t… Alright I do have a headache but that’s a coincidence.
Jane: Yeah.
Lisbon: Either I obey the rules or I risk taking big heat for ignoring them. This is on Van Pelt and Rigsby, not me!
Jane: Whatever you say.

And directly afterwards they work like a team, reading each other’s thoughts. Wonderful!

Funny, the rich guy is very perceptive and forward, like Jane:
Rich guy: You’re a psychic aren’t you?
Jane: What makes you say that?
Rich guy: You have this charlatan air about you.

Rich guy: You have a damaged intensity that’s quite attractive.
Jane: Yeah
Rich guy: Let me buy you a drink sometime.

He is a smooth talker, a charmer, all of these traits combined makes the rich guy and Jane internal twins. Is the fact that the rich guy was attracted to Lisbon a hint that Jane likes Lisbon?

Talking about the rich guy:
Lisbon: He thinks’ he is a genius; he is a pirate that got lucky. He has gotten everything he wanted since he was 30 years old.
Jane: Except you.
Rigsby: Wait, Walter Mashburn asked you out?
Lisbon: No. Well, sort of.
Rigsby: Wow.
Jane: Personally I thought she should have gone for it. A little empty glamour would have been good for her, but no, not our Lisbon.

Bad of Rigsby saying he will be the one staying after Lisbon reports them, he will be sleeping on the couch for a while after that mistake.

Funny:
Desperate Housewives guy: I’m sorry Mr. Jane you cannot hang out in the merchandise.

Brave and good work by Lisbon when she was talking to the musician.

Rigsby screws up more, they have a big fight, I feel bad for them, they need to communicate better, they should ask Jane for couple consulting!

Okay, that was scary when Jane drove blindfolded! Bad CGI when the car falls to the water.

Funny:
Desperate Housewives guy: How did you know it was me?
Jane: Like I said; you’re number two. Number two always tries harder. That and nobody steals beef barley soup.

Lisbon changed her mind, yes!

Lisbon: You didn’t tell me.
Rigsby: Excuse me?
Lisbon: That you’re together. You didn’t say it, I didn’t hear you. There are no rules being broken that I’m aware of. No holding hands, no soulful looks and absolutely no kissing in the office.
Van Pelt: No problem.
Rigsby: Fine.

It all worked out well in the end, like it always does on TV, that’s why we like TV!
