Joan of Arcadia
I saw most of Joan of Arcadia last night, after having missed the previous couple of episodes. Trouble was, at about quarter of nine Sadie needed changing. When I got back, I came in on the end of the encounter in Lucy’s office.
I gather that he got enough of a handle on her corruption, which I have assumed to exist in some form since she was introduced, to confront her. Either that, or she knew what he was doing and confronted him. Made it kind of a cliffhanger, since it sounded like he was fired to me. Anyway, I knew she was bad news. Too smarmy, too obviously manipulative, and too unlikely as the person to have suddenly been thrust into the position of police chief after the last bit of police wrongdoing was uncovered.
Apparently I missed how he started to be suspicious of her. It seems to be related to his investigation of Judith’s murder, and the impression I got is that she was involved in protecting the killer, if not more directly still. Usually I find the Dad and cop parts less interesting than the Joan parts, but I’m intrigued to see what happens.
