CRUZ DETERMINED TO CONVINCE BLOODIED CITY COUNCILMAN TO TESTIFY AGAINST
ASSAILANT -- A battered Detective Cruz (Tia Texada) returns to the 55th after her arrest ordeal and confronts a
nerve-wracked city councilman (as Johnathan, guest star TBA) who was horribly beaten but refuses to identify his
assailant. Cruz, a victim of sexual assault herself, investigates why the frightened victim does not want an arrest.
Meanwhile, Officer Davis (Coby Bell) gets an earful when he tracks down the imprisoned con (Jamar Allah guest stars
as Raymond) who murdered his father decades earlier -- upon the demand of another cop. Cara Buono, Nia Long,
Molly Price, Anthony Ruivivar, Josh Stewart and Skipp Sudduth also star.

6.8 – Broken

I can't believe I did this.  I was sick Friday and didn't get to watch.  I recorded over the end of Leap of Faith.  I may
cry.  

I may cry even harder because Ty is in bed with a rat.  At least her eyes are being opened about Captain Creepy.

All the precinct stuff is really bland.  Sully's sarcastic quip is ignored.  Ty mumbles about a girlfriend.  Then they show
the graphic chase and rape of a man.  Ratings whore much?  Brutality isn't why we watch Third Watch.  First we had
to watch a guy shoot himself during the Faith Show and now this.  This does not look promising.

Carlos loves Shrek.  Cool.  

Carlos:  Girls always want the honey when other bees start buzzin' around it.  

*snicker* I love Carlos so very much.  Poor baby!  The guy hit Carlos in the head.  

Carlos:  He punched me…on my good side

Cruz:  You have a good side?

*snickers more* Cruz is definitely a lot more mellow after her ordeal.  Luckily it isn't the Prozac-ish happiness we had
to suffer through last season.

Ahhh Little Finney wants to help.  Precious wittle guy.  Ty's getting bossy in his old age.  Sully's got to come clean and
soon.

Poor Councilman is losing his mind.  He was laughing a little too creepily.

BUNNY!  Yeah, the writers named her Caroline, but BosFaithShipper had the idea first.  She lost Charlie?  And she
still had the guts to show up where she knew Faith would have a gun?  Wow.  Bunny obviously doesn't know much
about how Faith deals with people who piss her off.  

You know, the Councilman's wife is a real pain.  Press conference?  How loving < / sarcasm >

Cruz:  Thank you, ma'am.  We're doing our very best.

Okay, NOW < / sarcasm> Good one.

This whole Charlie missing thing is really odd.  It was so very nice of Fred and Bunny to get Charlie a cell without telling
his mother.  You'd think they'd at least give her the phone number.

Bunny:  Look, Faith, I'm sorry we had to meet like this.

Faith:  Yeah, 'cause otherwise it could have been a real treat.

Did Little Finney say "we don't haveta spoon or nothin'"?  Well.  Uh.  Um.  *busts out laughing*  At least Ty's not so
mad at Sully that he doesn't defend him when Little Finney tries to cut him down.  

W T F is wrong with Faith?!?  Yes, I understand yelling about him taking off without telling anyone where he was
going.  What I don't understand is her telling him to never try to come see her again.  For the love of Bosco.  Way to
tell a kid you love him.  Don't you ever come see me again!

This is so obviously a time filler episode.
