It's never easy for a detective or cop to find out that the victim of a murder is someone you closely knew. That's what Laura deals with in this week's episode of "The Mysteries of Laura."
It was only her day off that Laura gets a phone call from the medical examiner about a murder victim who had her calling card in his pocket. She heads out there, and finds out that the victim is a close old friend name Jerry Patch, aka St. Jerry.
Shocking to see him dead, she goes on and tries to find out how it happens. Then comes Jake, who heard it on the scanner about the murder. he confronts her about it and then see two tourist taking a selfie with the dead body behind them. That really upset Laura. I would too, even now with selfies being the thing that people would take on with a dead body behind them. I wouldn't even do that.
Laura questions Jerry's wife, Ruby, who has been with him for over 30 years. Ruby was in shocked to hear that he was murdered. At the time she was cleaning up the place as she was talking to Laura and Jake.
Then came to name Crazy Eddie, who Rudy talked about that him and Jerry talked the other night. Of course, the name crazy Eddie is as it sounds. He's crazy and describes that he's being watched by the CIA with drones all over the place. Laura talks to him back at the squad room and tells her about the name "Birdman" who was watching Jerry.
Laura and Soto interviewed the Birdman, who was just an OCD man who watches everyone from his apartment and takes notes of what's happening at that day and time. When Laura heard of it, she scammed him for it that the Mayor needed it to help with the issues.
As Laura is back at the office she's reading the book. Jake doesn't think that the answers are in the book, which she proves him wrong and tells him about a lady who was screaming outside that the Birdman had to call the cops for it.
They interviewed Faith who was a waitress at Jerry's bar, who at the night of her screaming that she was going to kill Jerry that the reason for that was he fired her for stealing. But it wasn't her that stole, it was her boyfriend, who by the way started running off when Laura turned and looked at him.
Soto ran after him until he got hit in the face with his helmet. Then Laura chases him by hopping on someone else's bike and followed the boyfriend until he got hit by a bus. Yeah, when you see a stop sign up ahead and you are chasing a suspect, you might want to stop and hope a bus would come by.
As soon as Soto gets to the accident, Laura helps his bad cut by putting a pee pad on his face. That was probably one of the funnest moments of this episode.
Along with the storyline, of the twins busting Ned, the neighbor, his window with a baseball.
And the fact Laura has an issue leaving the twins with the new babysitter, who by the way turns out to be very funny and clever too.
Laura then goes by the book again and finds out about a suit person who was following around Jerry's building. Loyd as they called him, was the guy who was at the wake and turns out that maybe he could have killed him for the rights of the air. Even I thought that Loyd was the one.
As it turns out that he wasn't the one but give out a clue that Jerry gave him half of the estate of his air but not the one he wanted to get. The other half was under him. And as Laura thought it through, she comes up with that you can't have three halves. It's really impossible.
Turns out, it was the wife this whole time. Laura didn't even see it, due to the fact that this case was so close to her personally.
"The Mystery of the Biker Bar" was as I said in the beginning, it's never easy for a detective or cop to see someone that they knew so close get killed. Sometimes the thing that we don't suspect should be the ones that we need to suspect.
Another funny scene in the episode was when she was trying to put on her biker outfit for Jerry's waking and Laura had a hard time getting her pants on. She had to have her boys help her get in them. She says "size six fits all." She's right, it does it.
I really think that this show is improving from it's pilot. I might be saying this only three episodes out, this show isn't you typical cop drama that we need to have all this tech crap and medical slang just to feel smart. This show has enough of the cop drama that we can follow easy and also enjoy laughing at some of the moments.
You can catch "The Mysteries of Laura" Wednesday nights at 8/7c on NBC.
