The truly bad half of the smuggling ring might be dead, but the other players are a huge surprise. Or maybe not, depending on how closely viewers pay attention. Stella takes a lot more time than she should to discover who gets labeled the culprit. For a seasoned cop, credibility stretches a bit on this one. How many times does guilt extend to the least likely person? Oh wait. Stella is the woman who takes the word of a rape victim despite mounting evidence to the contrary. She even snaps at Det. Lindsay Monroe (Anna Belknap) for even suggesting a more logical approach to detecting. ("Open and Shut").
With only one more episode left in the season, the biggest surprises are still yet to come. Maybe. Early Internet chatter has more or less told anyone who wants to know just how the finale is set up. I'm not entirely convinced it's accurate, but what I read is hardly a complete shocker. Let me put it this way - the police department just might be affected by a whirling dervish with aftershocks felt for a long time to come.
Tune in May 14 at 10pm to see the season five finale!
