Eve meets a frustrating case and finds that Summerset may just have the intel she needs. This case deals with the Urban Wars, which was something that was talked about but never truly elaborated (though I gotta say, what was depicted as war in 2020s feels a bit uncomfortable, with today's context). The investigation process brings out a lot of secrets, with a revenge angle. But always a treat seeing Eve, Peabody and co. racking their brains, figuring things out! I had hope for Eve and Summerset to have more than one moment, but I guess they're just not wired that way. 😂 Eve and Roarke is couple goals as usual - I just loved how their love is so obvious in every moment. And Eve's squad and her found family rocks as usual (love Peabody)!
