LEAP OF FAITH
11-05-2004 9:00PM
TOUGH CRUZ GETS A TASTE OF HER OWN MEDICINE FROM INTERNAL AFFAIRS AS YOKAS IS CALLED
TO TESTIFY -- CHARLES HAID GUEST STARS -- Internal Affairs drops the bomb on the envelope-pushing Detective
Cruz (Tia Texada) as she is taken away and struggles to survive in jail while Captain Finney (guest star Charles Haid) drills
Detective Yokas (Molly Price) for information that will nail Cruz -- but the torn cop secretly knows that she pulled the trigger
on a career criminal that frames the case against Cruz. Elsewhere, Officer Sullivan (Skipp Sudduth) reveals more about his
running feud against Finney and his rookie son (Josh Stewart) while Carlos (Anthony Ruivivar) and his friendly partner Levine
(guest star Yvonne Jung) keep calling on a suicidal woman (as Kathy, guest star Anney Giobbe). Coby Bell, Cara Buono,
Chris Bauer, Bonnie Dennison, Nia Long and Jason Wiles also star.
Leap of Faith
I'd just like to say this episode has renewed my faith. I loved every second of it. Last week it was Law & Order: Looney
Tunes Unit. But not this week.
This week was Third Watch.
I wonder where Faith was that made her late. Personal problem at home? Visiting Bosco or overslept I wonder.
I liked the curly haired Charlie better. Why oh why didn't the Child Advocate (the blond chick sitting with Charlie and Emily)
point out to the judge how traumatic making the kids answer questions like those in front of their parents.
Cruz getting put in with the rest of the prisoners was just wrong. Okay, Cruz haters, let's hear you badmouth her now. She's
going to jail for Faith. "Oh she covered up the crime" you say. For Faith she covered up a crime. Come on, cut her some
slack.
I really wish Fred wasn't quite so worried about Faith getting arrested. At least they didn't cuff her.
Well, here's a turn around for Ty. Ty thinks it was okay to shoot the handcuffed bad guy. I think it was too, but hey.
Ty: The investigation was closed. What changed?
Sully: Yeah, I wonder. Rat Jr. shows up here and a month later one of us winds up behind bars.
*snicker* I love the Sulster even when he's wrong. What changed Ty? You provided the key when you found that picture
under the fridge, you naughty boy.
Emily loves her mom. She got mad when she heard Faith was gone because of work, then when she heard about Faith being
arrested, she was out the door.
This IAB guy's getting to be a regular character. We don't even know his name. I kind of like him though. He's a good actor.
FIREFIGHTERS!! WOOOHOOOO!! DK and Lt. Sugar!! You know, when I saw the new firefighter's name, I said he
needed to buy a vowel. I really need to make that tin foil hat.
Carlos: Well excuse me, but some of us are sick and tired of the parade of gel hunky fire dudes who show up just long
enough to get the women all worked up then slither off into the sunset.
DK: As apposed to someone who just bothers them and won't go away.
OH SLAM! I've missed DK so very very much. And yes, Carlos we think he's good looking. Yum. Remember, kids, if
you're going to lick the screen, clean the dust off first and drool and keyboards don't mix.
Poor Cruz. I hope the guy in charge of lock up has trouble sleeping at night.
Kathy wants to see what it feels like to do drugs so she ate a handful of antacids.
Carlos: Maybe if you're eating them when you're walking out into traffic maybe.
I ABSOLUTELY Positively LUV that little grin of Carlos'! He's kind of taken the best of Doc and the best of classic Carlos
and slammed them together. Carlos rocks my world.
Faith, you go girl. Rip Captain Creepy a new one! That's the Faith that's been missing since Mann did a cannonball into the
pool.
Gee, I wonder if the judge is a buddy of Captain Creepy.
DA: If she has a brain cell in her head, she already has a plane ticket in her pocket
Attorney: That is blatantly and demonstratively false, your honor
Judge: That she has a brain cell or that she has a plane ticket
Okay, yeah that was funny, but still poor Cruz. Tripped over her ties to the community *snicker*
See, the knife picture had a little post it on it. Nice job leaving the folder in the room with Faith. Faith is feeling the guilt. You
can see it in her face. Captain Creepy is lucky that Faith didn't have a gun and a little privacy.
I love Lt. Sugar calling the hot, new guy "alotta Zs"
Carlos: Maybe she couldn't hear it over all the voices in her head
Again *snicker* I love Carlos. "Where's the nutcase?" You know, Holly started saying the relationship was a mistake then
Carlos started getting scared she'd stop saying they were in a relationship to begin with.
