Good morning! I would've posted this yesterday but we got a new internet provider so it screwed up my whole day's schedule and I finished this too late to post yesterday.
Before you read this. Remember one thing:
EVERYTHING MATTERS. ;)
The episode starts off 1 year ago at the US/Mexico border. We see an American teen hide from the border patrol before crossing from Mexico to the US. He has drugs duct taped to his chest and once he gives them to the dealer and gets paid, he goes into the bathroom to wash off the duct tape residue. While he’s in there, the dealer gets murdered and robbed. This is how Billy enters WitSec.
Marshall is acting like a father to Billy because he’s entering WitSec and is still a minor. Convinced him education was a good idea and he should stay in the boarding school they enrolled him in. Billy says that where he goes to school doesn’t matter. Marshall tells him what his dad told him as a kid, “Everything Matters. Everything you think feel and most of all every thing u do, it all counts.” This is a sentiment that keeps coming up throughout the episode.
Marshall’s dad, Seth, comes to Albuquerque and Mary is ecstatic. Seth is in ABQ because he’s looking for a man named Liam, a dangerous drug dealer, as a part of Operation Falcon. That's where the Marshals look for fugitives with open warrants. This means bulletproof vests, guns, shouting, and it’s all very awesome.

Brandi returns to ABQ. Mary’s still pissed at her and Brandi wants to convince her she’s changed for the better. Brandi returned with a man named Scott (played by Aaron Ashmore) who is apparently the brother of Lauren who we met last year. Therefore, he’s the son of Mary and Brandi’s dad and their brother as well. The money Brandi borrowed from Peter a few months ago was used to help Scott with his business as a day trader in Miami even though she doesn’t know him. Brandi worked for Scott and not only paid Peter back, but she made ten thousand dollars as well.
They raid another house and this time they find Liam. Marshall chases a female suspect who ran off with a lot of money, and Seth chases Liam. Both of them lose their suspects and while in pursuit, Billy almost hits Marshall while fleeing the scene. It’s the first time since the flashback he’s even been mentioned. Turns out he’s the boyfriend of Amber, the suspect who was running from Marshall.
Marshall’s not a big fan of his dad. Its mentioned quite often, and Mary doesn't understand why until she realizes Marshall’s dad keeps interrupting their attempts to find Billy. They try to evade him but he still shows up and arrests Amber before Marshall can even talk to her.
While Mary goes on a stakeout with Seth, she learns Seth named him Marshall to discourage him from being a Marshal, not to encourage it. His dad thinks he’s too sensitive to work in WitSec. Marshall proves him wrong though; Seth tries to interrogate Amber to figure out where Billy is and where she hid the money that Liam is looking for, but since Amber is only a teenager, she’s clamming up. Marshall tries in a much nicer way and gets her to tell where the money is and then set up a trap for Liam. More specifically, Amber said Billy tried to get her to quit. She said none of it mattered if she worked for Liam and he said “Everything matters….it all counts.” So that’s why she tried to leave and get out right before the Marshals showed up. See there? Another mention of "everything matters."
Mary Marshall and Seth show up at the storage center where the money was hidden and find Liam attacking Billy for the money. While deflecting Liam’s gun off of Marshall, Billy gets shot in the leg. Mary eventually finds up to Liam and catches him right before Liam can fire his gun at Seth.
Later, Marshall thanks Mary for saving his dad and then talks with him. During this talk we find out Seth has always kept a drawing Marshall drew of the two of them when he was a child. Marshall had no idea. He was touched.
Seeing Marshall try to fix things with Seth, Mary calls Scott over to the house. She wants to know why he’s there and has connected with the family. He says he wants to know more about his dad. The dad just up and left his family as well. In the closing monologue, Mary admits that she still really wants to know where her dad is and misses him.
Notable Quote:
Marshall to Mary: I wish I had you in High School.
This was mostly a recap. Sorry about that. I was very excited to see Aaron Ashmore since I have been a fan of him and his brother Shawn (they're identical twins) for a long time. I loved how excited Mary was at the beginning of the episode to meet Seth but by the end her opinion changed drastically.
I'm also happy that Brandi is back. Mostly because I wanted to know what the hell she was up to. Now we know and I am SO relieved that its not drug-related. I wonder if we're going to find Mr. Shannon any time soon or if its like Monk and won't be until the very end.
One last note, I asked how many episodes were this season and there are only 13. That means we have 5 left! There's no new episode next week because its the week before Memorial Day and they like running marathons.
What are your opinions on the episode? Are you happy Brandi is back or do you wish they would just focus on cases? Any other opinions?
