10.13 Faith in the System
HOLLIS: You’re a long way from home. You get lost? BOULTON: Yeah, it’s why I called a taxi.
PEARCE: That’s not Jim’s style, to leave a mate in the lurch. BOULTON: Yeah, I know. PEARCE: Nothing in it? BOULTON: Would it matter? PEARCE: *shrug* BOULTON: We need to know who we can trust.

And a big hello to John Boulton, currently a DC at Barton Street. Not at all surprised he got a regular role after this episode. Jim’s brilliant in it as well and the writer, Matthew Wingett, does a great job of juxtaposing him giving the teenage thief another chance because she needs it, while not being willing to do the same for John, despite lying for him in the past. Perfectly in character for Jim, who values justice dearly, but who will go out on a limb for his colleagues—provided they don’t let him down.
