Wash’s information gathering (attending briefings, visiting Sonya for the latest on Portland Down, walking through that room where someone’s always shouting “THIS IS YOUR TOP PRIORITY, LET’S GET CRACKING, I WANT RESULTS!”…) has turned into a repetitive, passive routine rather than the pacey series of breakthroughs other crime dramas sweep us up in. She’s in almost every scene, which sucks the urgency out of the police investigation because any discovery has to be reported to her after the fact rather than made on the spot. Making Wash so central to this story has stymied it. Instead, it was thankfully on with the Ray-Bans and the ponytail, and on with the show. As our point-of-view character, if she hadn’t been reinstated, we could have faced another half hour of lethargic dialogue and vodka dance breakdowns. It was lucky they let Wash back to work early. Warning: this Trigger Point review contains spoilers.
