The time has come to start learning more about the episode that Alex directed back in January. CBS released the press release yesterday and we waited for the photos just released today to add the info here. With what has been becoming the norm, there is again 3 different stories in one episode. Based on that, Alex had to switch gears a lot in order to do them all justice, and we have no doubt that he did a great job.
This episode is jam packed with Alex in one way or another. From directing to playing the guitar to acting in what seems to be one of the main stories, he was quite busy. The main story will revolve around Danny and the reason he was shot while in quarantine. From the photos, it is clear there will be some flashbacks. On another note the younger part of the team will be on the streets as beat cops which is sure to bring the comedic side of the episode. Finally, things are also heating up for Adam as he is framed for the murder of Hidecki. It even looks like Jessie might have had something to do with that, but time will tell.
Jimmy Buffett also returns as Frank Bama and he is always a hoot!
All in all, we really are looking forward to this one. Here is the promo info below.
