Whelp, let no one say Margaret does not know how to make an entrance. I’m liking this whole news reporter angle they got going for her more and more. Margaret Smith: professional newswoman, pursuer of breaking headlines and chaser of shady contract dealers across car parks.

But anyways, fantastic episode. I take back that what I said about the girl’s friendship being underdeveloped around the Christmas Special, this one more than makes up for it. And yeah, if that uncomfortable sideways glance they gave each other at the end was any indication, I think there might still be some unresolved tension between CJ and Margaret (which is wholly understandable). But it doesn’t have to be bad thing. Having both characters deal with someone they’re not entirely comfortable to be around might be a good way to flesh out new aspects of their personality. And it’s not like the two harbour any actual ill will towards the other. If anything this episode shows they’re both pretty altruistic when it comes down to it. CJ was able to put aside her personal feelings for Eileen, which I thought was really big of her all things considered, and Margaret dropped everything and brought in the cavalry as soon as she heard her friend was in trouble. Hopefully this will lead to some interesting plotlines further down the track, which with well written episodes like this one, I think the creative team’s got a pretty good handle on it. Or at least we can get some welcomed insight into the girl’s characters outside their relationship with Mordecai.

(Also, I can't be the only one who broke into Dexys Midnight Runners' Come on Eileen when CJ was calling Eileen in the back of the police car right?

Come on Eileen! Oh I swear well she means~

Anyone? xD)
