RJ Decker Season 2 Premiere Recap
When you are trying to catch a pickpocket, the protocol is to have a bunch of randos start a dance off to the Backstreet Boys. Specifically (Everybody) Backstreet’s Back.
Bachelor Joey playing a bad guy was so not on my bingo card. Neither was the fact that he would use a dance mob to rob people (okay, that makes more sense than RJ trying to set up the dancers). RJ calling him out on it was hilarious….like, dude, you duped those randos and cops are watching.
Babe, my eyes are up here….says the dude robbing a bank in his undies. THAT is what he’s worried about? Is the lineup going to have men drop trou so she can compare packages?
Emi has been off the grid for two months.
The teller is trying to describe the dude’s penis size to Mel so they can find the robber. I bet Mel didn’t have this on her bingo card either…..so for those tuning in from home, the robber was small to average.
Mel and the FBI lady aren’t putting up with Wannabe Tom Selleck mansplaining the robbery to them.
Wish always warning RJ when former cellmates or cops are looking for him is what true criminal friendship is all about.
Stevie the criminal dude needs RJ and says he is his only hope, like he is Ob-Wan-Crim-nobi.
Mel ghosted FBI lady?
RJ asks Mel for help on Stevie’s case involving a man named Chip.
Katherine finds Emi for some questioning, who only wants to be left alone….by everyone. She tells her no comment and wonders why Katherine is being all sweet when she was usually channeling Regina George whenever she was around.
The Bottomless Bandits are all dead…..so much for the Dropping Trou lineup. I feel bad for the dudes who would have to do that….how would that even work? ‘Excuse me, sir? We had a bunch of robbers who were in their tighty whiteys at the local bank today. Mind dropping your pants for a lineup so we can make sure it wasn’t you? Tammy The Teller needs to do a package check to find our bad guys.’ How would they get through that without laughing? How would the random dudes react?
So, Stevie was involved with the Bottomless Bandits? Mel is mad at RJ for not disclosing this and RJ wants to save him since he once saved him. I am confused on how he was even involved.
RJ can confirm Stevie’s alibi, but Stevie is scared about what could happen.
It looks like the driver was involved in the murder….it’s always the driver.
Mel tells FBI lady to get over being ghosted and it is time to find a killer.
Emi wants a heart-to-heart with Katherine, so she brings her ALL the coffee—literally, all of it—and spills the beans…..but also tell RJ hi!!!!
Stevie is in the hospital…..everyone saw that coming, including the Ghost of Criminal Past, my cat and probably the cast of Paw Patrol and Shawn Spencer himself.
He is in the hospital for alcohol withdrawal….which confuses RJ. Stevie tries to explain but also seems to be hiding something.
Special Agent Banana Walnut….aka the suspect in the Bottomless Bandits says his alibi is his dog being in dialysis and he is also no longer involved with the bad guys….and he will only give them their info if they save his dog. PCM is who they need.
Even criminals love their dogs.
RJ is like, it is easier to find someone on The Bachelor genuinely looking for love than it is to actually find this dude with some of the most common initials in the world.
Katherine tells RJ about seeing Emi and says they need to work their stuff out because Emi needs a friend, dammit! She then suggests PCM is not a person, but a terrorist group.
Score one for the ex-wife, she is correct. Even though RJ is able to give information, FBI lady says he is a civilian and sends him to play with the dog and the Banana Walnut dude? I mean, not complaining because puppies, but okay then.
Mel and FBI lady argue over their hookup and the case they worked on together years ago. If Mel weren’t married, I’d want these two together.
They put it all aside to question suspects involved in PCM. He gives them the name Ezra Peterson as the guy they want….and tells them to look for a different group of crooks.
Banana Nut Dude says he drove Bad Guy Chip somewhere and that is where the smell of Banana Nuts came from, giving RJ a break in the case.
Cue the bad guy,….who was working with FBI lady!…. doing a shootout while on the phone with some lady while being caught by the good guys.
Mel is like ‘RJ! I take back all the things I said to you earlier in the episode! Thanks for saving all our asses!’
FBI lady and Mel continue their banter.
Stevie will remain a free man! However, he will go to rehab.
Emi and RJ reunite and become friends again.
