The WOTW storyline was OK, if a little formulaic for procedurals...the requisite moment of squick at the crime scene, the unsurprising twist you saw coming the whole time, one-dimensional characters that border on offensive stereotypes...I think it would have been a little edgier and more controversial if it wasn't Japanese, but make it into a Muslim or Indian Wesen honor killing. Japanese killing for honor with a katana just seems a little on the nose.
The rest of it, just ugh. We've officially gone back into "Juliette and Renard Mode", where ALL the drama and tension is created by characters not talking to each other, not knowing things, or not knowing if other characters know or not. That was horrible schlock writing the first several times they used it, and its horrible schlock writing now.
Sean, Eve, Nick and Adalind just need to all come over for coffee one morning and have a planning session.
Eve is inscrutable. All of a sudden she has emotions, after all? She cares about Nick so much? I'm still kinda holding onto my theory that Eve is Juliette's body but Kelly's (Nick's mom) consciousness. That explains her curt mannerisms, her mission-is-everything approach, and her caring for Nick and protecting him, then, is motherly and not romantic. If its not that, then Eve is just nonsensical.
