My crush for Charlie Crews continues to grow on this weeks Episode of LIFE and that’s for one reason since the episode was sort of cheesy.  Charlie (Damian Lewis) coming to Constance’s (Brooke Langton) rescue after her scumbag client attacked her.  Too bad Constance can never be with Charlie because she is so busy staying in a relationship that isn’t working.  Wait, she’s unhappy, but wants to stay in her unfulfilled relationship—this sounds like bad television plot driven drama because everyone I know in real life gets divorced over any sort of minutia. 

Speaking of love, Charlie & Dani’s (Sarah Shahi) case this week revolves around a woman thrown from a hotel window.  The creepy part is that the woman is wearing angel’s wings.  I guess angels can’t really fly, right?  After unsuccessfully trying to identify the victim am ugly chubby man comes forth to say he’s her husband.  The man is insane and he gives erratic information that leads Charlie and Dani to understand that the woman was a Russian mail order bride.  Can you feel it?  Can you feel the love in the air?  So this fat, ugly guy says explains that he bought the dead woman from a man named Roman. Charming.

This episode defines the relationship between Charlie and Dani as the two find themselves accurately working in a sort of symbiotic relationship.  Like a finely tuned machine—they are beginning to work together, and moreover need each other to keep a balance in their detective work.  Oftentimes throughout the episode Dani questions things in the same way that Charlie does.  When Charlie points this out she rolls her eyes and tells him he’s wrong.  These two work like siblings.


Following a trail of Russian whores Dani & Charlie find themselves speaking Roman.  Roman is guilty of killing the dead woman.  I guess in the world of Russian pimps power is everything and Roman takes the dead woman’s infidelity personally and throws her out the window.  He then takes her lover and locks him in a dog cage.  Dani & Charlie figure this out in time and rescue the man.  It turns out that Roman is one badass mo’fo’, but the State Department will not allow him to be charged with murder as he is an informant from them.  Consequently, Roman is released & calls Charlie and tells him to look into whatever happened to $21 million that went missing during a bank robbery his old partner worked on.

Back to Constance, Charlie finds the creep that attacked her and beats the living crap out of him.  Charlie is so hot and manly—WHY CAN’T WE HAVE MORE ACTORS LIKE THIS?  Geese, why can’t we have more men like this period? Le Sigh.
