Changes Come: The Mysteries of Laura "The Mystery of the Taken Boy"

In the season premiere of The Mysteries of Laura starts off big, changes come to a the squad and a missing boy is kidnapped for different reason than you would think.

The case this week starts out from a hit and run when a man at a park warns kids to get out of the way from a runaway taxi cab, that hits the man and kills him. Laura and the team investigates that the comes to find out that he was on his way to fixing his life.

Billy and Meredith search for the taxi cab, which they found all burned but came across a damaged camera that had its chip in it and found out that the boy was a target. Laura and Jake get there too late.

The new captain of the department Capt. Nancy Santiani is a very different character and demands the people that work in her department to keep the volume of talking down. Laura doesn't like her at all and it's not all rainbows and sunshine with her.

Things don't go the way Laura wants it, but when they realize that the parents of the missing boy turns out that he was adopted illegally. The kidnapper made a ransom for money with the parents, Laura and the team try to ambush them but you just can't get rid of the mother's instant. Besides the boy had hours til he need his insulin shot.

After grabbing the guy who was to take the money, Laura gets the final clue that sister of the missing boy had an encounter with the dead victim when they were in rehab.  Jack and Billy get there in time to rescue the boy and give him his insulin shot.

This episode was really good starting off and ended really good. Changes do come to the squad, one of them Frankie is gone because to Santiani she didn't have the seniority of a detective. Also the look of the department looks very different. And it seems that Laura and Jack seem to get along very well and that these two might get back together. They're love for each other doesn't seem to go away.

I like where this new season starts and can't wait to see where it will go. I know that the series is taking a more of a turn of more crime solving and less on the family matters.  I love the battle between Laura and Nancy. And the chemistry of this cast is still amazing to watch.

Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.
