This was an awesome awesome episode.
I was really surprised at the final twist of the ICE agent actually being the serial rapist. The final standoff between him, Brenda and the rest of the team was really intense. Loved Fritz busting out the machine gun and taking him out with 1 shot. I don't blame him at all for being pissed off at Brenda.
Enjoyed Mary McDonnell once again as Captain Raydor. I really like having her character recur on the show when the team faces a major case. It was really surprising that she was actually monitoring Brenda's work with the Major Crimes team and is pushing her to be a candidate for the Chief of Police.
I think this was probably one of the best episodes in the 6 seasons this show has been on.

Great episode. They brought in Titus Welliver to be the red herring. I really thought he was going to be the rapist.

I thought the standoff was one of the tense and well done scenes I have seen in a TV show in a while. The emotion was very palpable and real, the acting was fantastic. The Chief twist was expected but still fun to watch.

The standoff was intense. I didn't see Raydor's reveal coming but can you see Brenda wanting to be Chief of Police?

I do think Brenda would want to be chief. She is pretty ambitious and HATES to be told how to run things, and Chief would give her pretty much total control. She is not very politically savvy so in the real world she would likely be terrible at the job, but it could make very interesting TV.

Your right, it was a sniper rifle. Anyways, it was still badass. That whole scene was really tense and dramatic.
