"Anything's possible with the devil winds a-blowin'!"

This doesn't have the anxious intensity of 'Code 4', but it's no less fascinating. Set against the backdrop of the dangerous Santa Ana winds, this features some of the series' finest character development; principally with John Cooper (it's probably no surprise at this point that he's the best character). We see his bonding with an abandoned 8 year-old and his testimony at the parole hearing of his father (where we really find out what kind of monster that guy is). All of this during a period where Cooper is more abusive of his trainee than ever, but it reveals a noble, seasoned and deeply flawed character.

When he's not on screen, it's Lydia and Josie handling a rape case. The cast itself is complicated, but their scenes are elevated by their fundamental disagreements on the matter. It's great stuff when they bicker.

10/10

Detective Ochoa says the rapist attacks his victims "late afternoon, early morning". She meant, "late afternoon, early evening", as the saying goes.
