“Are those bullet holes?“ a six-year-old Missy Cooper prods. @detectiverickitubbs

Peggy grabbed the child by the back of her shirt to keep her away from what the girl had so aptly pointed out was bullet holes.

"Missy, I want you to go wait next door, I'll come get you when it's safe."

What's the most savage of Tubbs's canon lines? Why would you choose that one specifically?

For this answer, I'm going to go with the one that seems the peak savage to me. It comes after the Hostile Burnett arch, where her partner Sonny Crockett gets amnesia and turns crime boss. As the crime boss, he shoots her twice before leaving her to die in an alley.

The conversation is dour. The entire vice unit is still a bit bitter and dismayed at all the chaos his little stint created for them. Tubbs in particular had been burned something AWFUL by his actions. Everyone is directing their sarcasm and blunted anger at Crockett. Tubbs is not immune.

Tubbs: "Lieutenant, look who's here. I think it's Crockett."

The wording of this first dig is sooo sooo important. She applies the term 'think' instead of saying that 'it is' Crockett. Think implies the presence of doubt. Doubt that had plagued her every step of the investigation that led to his recovery and his transition from Burnett back to Crockett. Is it truly Crockett they got back? Is it some twisted form of Burnett-- pretending to be mellowed out? Is Sonny even the same man he used to be? It also implies that Tubbs is still heavily wary of TRUSTING him the way she had before. After about six years of spending almost every moment of every day together that dent in the trust she instills in him is sooo soo soo important!!!!! Had she used "it's Crockett" instead, it would have confirmed that she was secure in believing that it was really he who returned not the abominable crime-boss.

She's still not entirely buying his amnesia act. Oh, she knows it's very possible, but could it really have change his character so drastically????

While she wants to believe Sonny, in his right mind, would never attempt to murder her, there's still that,--- what if he'll turn on me again, that she can not dismiss.

Sonny: Real cute, Ricki.

(Here, I don't think Sonny is expressing real annoyance but rather sarcasm here. I think he's owning up to deserving the barbed remarks.)

Tubbs: "See you on the wanted posters, Sonny."

Wounded Tubbs tends to be one full of sharp quips, anger, and distancing herself from the people who caused the pain in the first place. There's so much bitterness infused in the expression of the line. She is indirectly reminding him that he may have come back to work like nothing has happened, but she's still EXTREMELY hurt.

Here, we also see her establishing a bit of distance between them. It is also perhaps, indirectly warning him that she will NOT follow him down unlawful paths again. She gave up her paid vacation time to seek him out, to pull him out of his mess once (against DIRECT orders). Tubbs won't be so apt to do it the next time. At least, not until she gets over being so badly burned and the trust issues.

I chose this one because of all the meaning in the undercurrent of the words. These lines are like icebergs. You can see the subtle surface layer but they run like twenty feet deeper than you'd expect. Plus, this is the line that stuck out to me the most in the series. It's the one time we see Tubbs being a wee bit barbaric in the sarcasm aimed at Sonny. It was well-deserved. But at the same time, it proves that his actions as Burnett are still clouding her opinion of him when he returns. It directly plays into what Tubbs expressed the previous episode with Sonny in the interrogation room. "We were friends. No- we were more than that---" The words we are friends and we are more than that have now been replaced by a unwavering past-tense word. Were implies a heavy shift in Tubbs's thinking. Tubbs has had to do so much reevaluating over the weeks/months Sonny was allowed to run amuck.

I think the beautiful thing though is that Crockett strives to regain Tubbs's trust. By the end of the series, everything feels a bit more mended than he had been.

‘ not  just  a  scratch ‘  for Tony from Tubbs || @detectiverickitubbs​

                “Yeah, that’s very perceptive of you.” Tony responded with a smirk as he tended to a wound etched into his side from a very nasty fall from the skies above from earlier. He had hastily bandaged and it had seemed to hold for a while but then it had opened up again. So now he sat on a half-wall as he tended to it... he hadn’t had a lot of time to go to the doctor and right now wasn’t a good time for someone to point out the obvious. He had a few more verbal lashing comments but seeing as how this woman was possibly the only person around that could help him at the moment, that didn’t seem like such a good idea. “You a cop?” He asked, eyeing her stature and the hidden weapons. “Probably could use a little help.”

What was the hardest thing for Ariel to adjust to in the human world? What was the easiest? What did she miss the most about Atlantica when she was immersed in the human world?

Ariel usually has to hide the fact that she can talk to animals, when around strangers ( humans ); this is hard when traveling abroad but, thankfully, the village within hers and Eric's kingdom, after a while, had learned to accept the fact that their new princess had this unique ability. After becoming human, she still maintains a close friendship with Sebastian, Scuttle, and especially Flounder— So she is very grateful to the kingdom for their acceptance.

The easiest ( or at least the funnest ) part for her was getting to know Eric and his helpers better. As strong-willed as she is, Ariel is very good at making new friends. Grimsby, Eric's right-hand man, and Carlotta, Eric's maid, are sure to keep Ariel company when Eric is away on business. Having been with Eric since he was a lad, the two servants usually regale Ariel with stories of Eric's growing up, since the prince is too embarrassed to share them when he is present.

Ironically, the thing she missed the most about Atlantica was her farther, King Triton. He occasionally turns to the magic he once used to transform Ariel into a biped, on his own fins, in order to visit his daughter at her castle.

Joe laughs softly, ducking his head as his cheeks heat up a bit. He rubs the back of his head and lifts his eyes to look at her. “Yeah? You got my father to thank. He taught me to be the brave man I am today.”
