9:00
Allison is walking in a dark parking lot on the phone with bags on her arm.

9:01
Looking more alert now, but a guy is approaching.

9:01
He wants $5.

9:01
Now, he’s stealing her purse. She wants her daughter’s baby photos.

9:02
She beats him up. And goes Kung Fu on the other boys.

9:02
Way to rewrite your ending Allison.

9:03
I love it. “I would have given you my purse, but nobody touches my little girl’s baby pictures.”

9:04
And she’s being revived in the parking lot. I liked the kicking butt version better.

9:07
Joe wants to kill somebody, but other than that.

9:08
Talking to the self defense instructor.

9:08
Maybe some lessons are in order? She took the instructor’s card.

9:09
Kids are upset. I would be, too. Seeing their mom’s face like that….

9:10
Allison hears a noise and turns to ask Joe if he heard it. But he’s not there.

9:10
Gets up to investigate and is attacked by the mugger. Thank goodness it was a dream this time.

9:11
Allison goes to see the instructor in the morning.

9:12
Hears her story about why she became an instructor.

9:12
Lee is meeting with Devalos. Ooh, nice suit.

9:13
Scumbag attacking a teen and videoing it.

9:15
An undercover guy on the case disappeared and Devalos is warning Scanlon to stay away. He’s almost certain that the rapist is Scanlon’s brother!

9:16
Wait. Scanlon has a brother. Did I know that?

9:20
Oh, okay. His name is Ben. He’s a bad guy, but he saved Scanlon when their drunken dad was beating him.

9:20
Of course, Scanlon did not listen to Devalos. He went right to visit his brother.

9:21
Scanlon and “the mom” are engaged. His baby’s name is Lee. Is it just me or is he more into Lee than former Deputy Doll?

9:22
His brother says he isn’t a pervert. He’s 50. He’s a different guy. He’s got a handle on things.

9:22
Scanlon doesn’t believe him.

9:24
Joe is watching a movie and Allison does some Karate Kid moves.

9:24
She’s feeling more like herself again.

9:24
Joe thinks so, too.

9:25
Kira is fighting with a man in Allison’s dream.

9:26
Allison goes to her and tells her she found the man on the sex offender registry.

9:27
She doesn’t think it was him and isn’t sure she really saw his face.

9:27
She brushes Allison off and walks off.

9:28
Allison goes to Scanlon for help. Henry Maynard is the guy in the photo. Really Sean Riley who is the undercover cop who disappeared. Uh, oh.

9:32
Joe makes Allison feel better. “Gee, now I hate you, too.”

9:33
And Allison didn’t know about Joe’s brother, either. I guess I don’t need to feel so bad.

9:33
And they found Riley dead after Allison dreamed about his location.

9:34
Devalos will be bringing in Scanlon’s brother for questioning.

9:35
“Manny, you don’t understand. This is my big brother.”

9:35
Devalos is asking Ben about the girl in the video and about his tattoo.

9:36
He denies all knowledge.

9:36
But Henry/Sean he does recognize.

9:37
Not as a murderer, but as the scumbag who might have hurt a girl.

9:38
Ben yells at Scanlon, who he knows is watching. He calls him “Mr. Good” and blames him.

9:39
Allison sees a vision of Ben attacking a girl.

9:40
She evades Scanlon’s questions about his brother and brings up her head injury. He gets to the truth. His brother was the one who raped the girl.

9:40
Fat weasel. I guess I’d call my brother worse than that if he was a rapist.

9:41
Scanlon is holding his gun to his brother’s head after breaking into his place to question him.

9:41
Does he believe his story?

9:41
I think he wants to. But does he?

9:42
Henry/Sean wakes up bound and gagged.

9:42
He sits up and tries to escape. Picking the lock on his cuffs when Kira walks in and says, “You’re awake. Good.”

9:43
He tries to talk, but there’s a gag in his mouth and she doesn’t want to hear him anyway.

9:44
Sean tries to explain, but he doesn’t quite pick phrases that would make a former rape victim happy. “Stop fighting.” “It’ll only get worse…” Dude. Seriously. Try, “I’m a cop under cover!”

9:47
By the way, if you miss Joe’s dad, be sure to tune in for episode 6.16 Allison Rolen Got Married. He’s in it!

9:47
Allison stops in to see Kira.

9:47
A new list. A list of dead sex offenders.

9:49
And news about Henry being a cop under cover instead of a sex offender. Kira says again she knows nothing. Then she asks Allison if she’s going to arrest her, which would require proof and muscle, neither of which she has.

9:50
Scanlon’s brother shows up with a stuffed toy to meet the gf and the baby. Scanlon tells him he sent them away. And then he tells him he watched the video of the teenager being raped today.

9:50
The guy kept bending his thumb back all the way to his wrist. His brother is double jointed and had the same habit.

9:51
One time offer to turn himself in and Scanlon will stand by him.

9:51
He’ll get him help to get better. “You don’t get it Mr. Good do you?…I’m fine. I like me.”

9:52
Very creepy guy. Must take after their dad.

9:53
Kira is talking to her victim – Scanlon’s brother.

9:54
Scanlon wakes up when Allison calls to tell him that Kira is going after his brother.

9:55
Wait. Kira’s going after Paul? I guess they changed Scanlon’s brother’s name from the casting call?

9:55
And Scanlon relieves the detective watching two hours early.

9:56
He sees Kira walk out after his brother.

9:56
Allison calls Scanlon. “Paul’s dead Allison…They were too late…”

9:57
Only he isn’t dead yet. Scanlon’s sitting in his car and just waiting.

9:57
Wow.

9:57
And next ep, as I mentioned, Allison is a young bride and Joe’s parents and her grandma will be appearing. Fun!

9:58
See you all next week.
