Jesse is faced with Paradise Lost

blanche-2

Poor Jesse is up to his neck in trouble with the Town Council - big surprise - when he and his friend State Homicide Commander Healy (Stephen McHattie) are shot at during an unofficial stakeout on a Boston street. Healy is badly injured. Boston Police Internal Affairs investigates.

As long as they're angry with him, Jesse fires the department's biggest ticket writer and also fixes the sign so that drivers aren't fooled into going the wrong speed.

Then the woman appears looking for her missing child from several years earlier, and Jesse agrees to look into it.

Kathy Baker and Kohl Sudduth appear in this episode as well as William Devane as Jesse's psychiatrist, Dr. Dix.

I think these are good movies, some better than others. As I've written a million times I am a big fan of Tom Selleck's but there are more levels to Jesse than he's able to portray. He has great ability, but his talents are in another direction. I can certainly understand that he wants to do something different, though.
