Curious for opinions: I know the show was no CSI Miami (and Jim Longworth is no Horatio Caine,) but did it bother anyone A&E cancelled "The Glades" the way they did? Now we'll never know who shot Jim!At least they could have done one more episode to wrap that up if they planned to cancel it! Chime in!
Another Day...More Crime
Faith Roslind Caine was her father made over. Any hint of brown in her hair vanished months ago. She was now a complete redhead and like her brother, had their father's piercing blue eyes. This morning she was visibly surprised to see her daddy walk back into the living room less a half hour later.
"Dad-dad!" Faith squalled
"Yes, my darling," Horatio replied, with a smile.
Faith had become more steady on her feet in the last few days. She pulled herself into a standing position and as fast as her little legs could carry her made a beeline for Horatio. Horatio grinned, scooped her up in his arms and kissed her face, whispering "I love you" in her ear. Maybe the fact she had no sense of time was a positive thing right now. Perhaps, she didn't realize just how much and how long he wasn't around these days. Because she was just a baby, Horatio was afraid Faith would forget him. Or if she didn't forget him, her bond with him would weaken. By her reaction to him right this second, he was relieved that wasn't happening.
"Let's go feed some duckies, huh?" He asked her.
The three were in the backyard feeding the ducks when Horatio voiced his worry about their daughter to his wife. In reply, Aimee kissed him said "you know I'd never let that happen. They both adore you. You're our son's hero. He talks about you all day long, that you're only not home because 'someone's got to catch the bad guys and you're the best at it.'
"And as far as me, I'm so proud to be your wife. I wouldn't want any other life. You hear me?"
"Yes, ma'am," he said smiling, kissing her back.
A call from the tip line had resulted in an arrest. The suspect was waiting in the interrogation room when Horatio arrived at the lab. Since the second murder Eric was a isolated a tiny amount of blood on the axe used to murder the family. The suspect Rodney Purcell had small but deep wounds on both hands. Wounds that could possibly be caused by an axe. Rodney stated those cuts were from working at his uncle's shoe repair shop, from the knives used to cut leather.
"I'm fuckin' clumsy, all right? But I ain't ever killed anyone!"
Rodney was an anti-adoption advocate, who ran a blog on the topic and bragged about it. He had mentioned in his blog the deceased children were "better off dead than being in a mixed family." He had several convictions for trespassing in the parking lot of a recently opened adoption agency he lived close to. He would intercept all trying to enter the building, whether it be a pregnant woman wanting to place her baby or a couple looking to adopt and tell them how wrong and selfish their choice was.
"This guy might have a screwball attitude, but I don't think this is our guy. He's too co-operative." Tim told Horatio on the way to interrogation. "He offered his DNA while he was still in the car with Tripp. Delko's running it as we speak."
Thanks to the murders Eric Delko had to come to the lab just ten days into his paternity leave.
As the two men entered the viewing area outside the two-way mirror of the interrogation. What they saw through the glass told them that Speed could indeed be correct. CSI Ryan Wolfe shoved photos of both crime scenes in front of him. Rodney Purcell went pale, his eyes rolled back in his head and fainted, rolling off the chair where he was seated. Frank Tripp grabbed him before he could hit the floor. No one knew of a serial killer who fainted at the sight of his own "work." Eric confirmed Rodney Purcell wasn't the person they were looking for minutes later. The DNA wasn't a match.
Horatio's day continued with a woman stabbing her sister after finding out she was sleeping with her husband—and her boyfriend.
Yes, the woman openly admitted to having both.
Patrol had checked on both men.
They were fine.
Horatio couldn't help thinking that if his wife had been in the position of the woman who was arrested, it would have been for stabbing three people, not just one.
