Field Mice 10x18

So as a die hard wedges/labrat fan it is very obvious to see why I loved this episode so much. Every year these are the episodes with the most creativity and humor.


The Case: Hodges and Wendy lead three young explorer scouts on a field trip they will never forget. To challenge them Hodges finds an old case that had until this episode remained unsolved. After a fire at a group of apartment and the firefighter or should i say "evidence erradication team" cleared the scene a body of a young woman was found. The weird thing is she had no evidence of being burned even though she was right in the middle of an arson crime scene. Ultimately they end up putting themself in the CSI position and pulling through as far as solving the case goes. Turns out the russian woman died from a combination of drugs and alcohol, her one night stand put her in a packing box because he had to go to work. Well a little known fact about packing peanuts is that to be environmentally friendly they are made up of starch components. So after the guy left the girl in the box went up in the flames but didnt burn do to the insulation like properties of the packing peanuts. A sort of sub case occured when Nick began to investigate an outbreak of bacteria that was making the lvpd all throw up their guts. It provided some comic relief especially since they cop guy was such a bumbling idiot. Turns out his ex laced some cookies she made for him with the bacteria. In a twist of irony that particular cop was the only one who didnt get sick because of his post break-up diet minus sugary sweets.

The Characters: Of course this episode focused on Wendy and Hodges, but the other characters almost gave them a run for their money. Hodges seemed to really be coming around to the idea that he could have a meaningful relationship, to bad that moment came when he found out Henry was about to make a move. Thing is, Wendy couldnt stop her feelings for Hodges either. Both have tried so many times after all. In the end all went extremely well with a very passionate kiss...wendy practically launched herself at him. Now back to Henry who really came out of his shell in this episode. After apparently hanging out with Wendy he was head over heels. So what did he do? He asked Hodges permission in a hilariously awkward attempt to suck up. Later throughout the show, several bad things happened including car trouble, a GCMS hack and a sticky situation. At first there was no doubt in my mind that Hodges was the evil genius culprit. However the biggest twist of the entire episode was that Wendy was in fact the one behind the practical jokes. She really didnt like how Henry turned from a friend to a potential partner, this was obvious with her pained expression when he mentioned fancy dining and a suit. The french sentence afterwards didnt help. Sub character plots include a drunk cop Brass, Big bully cat lover Robbins and cheesy investigating of a crime by Hodges.
