Posted by vinnyt in : The Shield , add a commentWell the temperature has just been turned way way up on multiple fronts. In the one hand Dutch is trying to dip his pen in the company ink. The hot new rookie cop is screwing up big time and every one else knows it, but dumb old Dutch is falling for her charm and hot ass. He’s going to screw up, if he didn’t it wouldn’t be good television so it’s best to sit back and watch the stupidity ensue. Next you have the IAD investigation of the strike team. The episode began like all this season with a woman running her head through the window of a car and trying to bite the ear off the man in the car. Vic sees this first hand and discovers that the Russian mob is running bad meds through town and people are dropping dead or going crazy as we saw. Vic and the guys track down some leads and discover the meds are going through a delivery company and decide that with some trickery they can get the bad meds off the street, and create a sting to bust mobsters way up the chain. Now during all this time Kavanugh has wired the club house and is listening in on the most private of conversations. Vic sets up his sting by bringing the mobsters to the club house and creates a deal with him to put the Russians in possession of good meds to help people out, and get 10% of the money generated. The entire conversation is recorded and Kananugh firmly believes that he had Vic trapped where he wants him, but this couldn’t be further from the truth Vic clears this sting with the interim captain and proceeds to do the deed. The deal appears to be going smoothly until the driver ( a detective ) pulls a gun on Shane and is wrestled down and then lined up against a truck and shot. The IAD guys come in and break everything up, and start to arrest Vic when the captain comes in and asks what the hell is going on and explains the sting. A big fried egg is now all over Kavanugh’s face and he is crazy pissed. The show ends with Kavanugh destroying his head quarters in a very scary scene….
