Well this was a weird episode but in a good way.

Amid the bustling crowds and performers on Hollywood Boulevard, a cop chases a thief but ends up finding a dead body. Gunshot wound to the forehead - homicide.

Second scene, MMM, Harper (the Murtaughs daughter) has been fast tracked to join Kellogg's preschool, a fancy school for kids, which surely will not conflict with the main plot.

Meanwhile, Riggs is in a fancy restaurant. But not any fancy restaurant, the one where Molly works at. She tries to get rid of him (as anyone would) He bitches but she kisses him woah.

Next morning, Rog and Riggs at the crime scene.

With Scorsese!

In the alley with the corpse in the dumpster. Riggs follows some track from the dumpster.

They end up in a Motel room with a bunch of newspaper clippings on the wall etc., like the typical crazy conspiracy nutjob would have. Sort of like the in the church episode when they find the killers lair. Just uninspired.

Riggs sees a Laptop and messes with it but it sets off a self destruct sequence and blows up. Good work, Detective!

Riggs shows up in Cahills office, 2 days early, she of course treats him. She draws comparisons between their Suspect and Riggs, but then he just bolts out, only to come right back in again and talk about Molly kissing him. He’s so confused! She doesn’t think it’s a complete disaster. Clayne does. At least he's all over his night terrors and isn't begging her for sleeping meds anymore.

Bailey is back! Finally. She figures out that the suspect rented the room as **Tom Meanny**, an anagram for 'not my name'! So clever! But of course, she also got a hit on the victims fingerprints. "Larry Hodson", a Petty crook.

Bailey thinks this “Tom” character killed the victim. Also she believes the moon landing was fake.

But she also finds out the suspect was stalking some woman, had pictures of her.

The bring her in and she’s with a child, who ID’s the sketch of the suspect as “Daddy”!

The woman tells them his name is Jonah Canter, and he has delusions, and schizophrenia, or as Keith says "mentally challenged".

But usually he’s fine!

They look for him and he’s playing chess in a park. Of course it's the first place they look.

A chase ensues as always but eventually Riggs corners Jonah (Derek Richardson) in some alley.

THIS is the infamous scene that some kids playing in the pool near the set were being loud (having fun) and Clayne just loses it.

Riggs tells Jonah to shoot him but just before he can pull the trigger, Murtaugh jumps on him from the balcony above, and they arrest him and the whole scene is actually presented as a wacky lighthearted romp.

In the interrogation booth, Jonah tells them Elvis is controlling his mind.

Riggs laughs it off, but in next room, Sonya Bailey is reviewing the security tapes when Scorsese tells her he was also looking up the suspect, and it came up as “David Lightman”. Why is Scorsese involved? He just walks up to Sonya and is awkward. Bowman is gonna kick his ass if he keeps hitting on her.

Anyway, Sony searches the LAPD Database for “David Lightman” and it brings up some white boy but then BOOM the screen goes black and text begins to appear like it's the Matrix. “We’re being hacked!” Sonya says in disbelief.

Sonya finds the I.P. with ease and Clayne and Riggs track it down to some old warehouse. They find some hackers who tell them Jonah is evil.

They sold him hacking software but tracked him and found out h was researching megaton bombs! Really.

Cahill gave him sedatives, which he did not take and eventually escapes from an ambulance.

We are back at the station and Cahill is talking to Riggs when MOLLY jumps in!

She talks to Maureen, aka friend of the pod Jordana Brewster, and Riggs pays her 12$ parking fee. Cahill says she likes her.

SADLY we continue the Murtaugh subplot. Dr. Weir (Alexi Gilmore) arrives in the house and it’s so weird. Sojourn into the dining area and watch the damn episode! Murtaugh makes up something about “The Riggs Method” of raising offspring.

Gross.

TV MAMA?

Cahill finds out that Jonah scribbled all his paranoid ramblings on placemats from a certain Diner. They head there and the waitress says they just missed him, they go outside and oh wonder, find him. He presses a remote and BOOM!

Just kidding. All that happens is the traffic light at the intersection turns green.

They arrest Jonah who shouts "What about the lights in Hollywood!”

So the whole episode is about a group of Elvis impersonators who use some kind of remote control device to hack traffic lights and use the ensuing chaos to steal a money transport. This all gets explained in the last few minutes of the episode. Furthermore we find out all this is happening on Black Friday. Yep. Yesterday was Thanksgiving by the way! Simpy insane.

Riggs stalks molly and they end up in one of those double decker tour busses. This is so bad. But I guess it’s better than having Clayne and Damon in the same frame? Speak of the devil, Damon calls Riggs to tell him about the heist, who realizes he’s on a bus full of German tourists and sees the very armored truck full of Elvises zip by.

He takes command of the Bus and Molly says she beat him at Mario kart which came out 1992. One of the tourists says "Itz better zan ze movies!"

Molly takes the wheel and Riggs jumps on the money transporter and once again BEGINS TO RIDE THE ROOF!

He shoots all the Elvises and then Murtaugh pulls up in front of the transporter and breaks it out.

The family is reunited, and Jonah is like “totally normal” on his meds!

But Cahill thinks he will be ok

Speaking of...

She asks Riggs but he says he’s going out for dinner with Molly. ew yuck.

Riggs and Molly are wasted and wake up Roger because they're giggling around in his kitchen. In case you have forgotten (or if for some weird reason you didn’t manage to watch the episodes), Riggs still has his trailer parked in Murtaughs garage.

He comes down and says don’t fuck in my kitchen, but they definitely will. Disgusting.

This is all so messed up.

THE END.

This could have been a great episode, but it was just all over the place. They probably had to change a bunch of stuff last minute due to the Clayne/Damon conflict. Overall. Classic insane Lethal Weapon episode, great as long as you don't think too much about what just happened on screen. **8.5/10**
