Noooo I've gotten real into Prison Breakfast and was rereading yesterday and it just hit me that between Seyeon sayin he's dwelling on how time flies, his babydaddy getting out soon, him saying that his babydaddy will see Sihyeon every day 'once he's out' but not 'once they're out,' him saying 'this is my last heat before you get out of here' not when they leave, and then also him promising to help Chawoon out during heats when he has his baby..... bro's probably got at least a whole year left on his sentence and isn't gonna be able to see his baby soon

Magnum PI S04E013 ”Judge Me Not” (*Spoiler Alert)

I like this episode. It really sets the tone when the client, Judge Park, is immediately engaged by Magnum about holding him in contempt for not disclosing information to her during his testimony for a case in front of her court. The subtle smirk on her face was very nice, and Magnum’s explanation to Higgins of “You were in Kenya”, just seems to give the vibes of, “Well, you weren’t around, so I ended up finding a little good trouble”. I like that Judge Park is honest about her past with Magnum and Higgins, and they fully disclose that if something has been digitized and put online, it is nearly impossible to completely erase every copy and prevent it from being seen.

I’m not sure who told Rick that a papaya is about the size of a newborn, but that papaya was really small to be a kid...

I like the banter at La Mariana though, leading Higgins and Magnum to the Madame. This leads to the realization that they have a ‘fixer’ at play here, and Magnum points out the timing was before Judge Park’s nomination to the Hawaii Supreme Court...and then the following conversation with the Judge reveals that the blackmail is about the case currently in the Judge’s court. And apparently the fixer was noticed by Judge Park in her courtroom. I do like Magnum’s statement to Park, “Stay calm, do your job. We’ll do ours.” That really was all that needed to be said, but still hopefully settled Park and gave her cause for optimism. Magnum really is good with people.

I am conflicted about Gordon’s story about his interaction Maya, the fixer, a few months back. If the fixer is deliberately being shady as hell because she’s being paid a lot of money, and guilty people could go free, then that’s garbage. But, if she’s being paid a lot of money to find out that HPD made a mistake, then the mistake should be fixed, but that makes Gordy and HPD look like they don’t know what they’re doing. And with the stuff that’s happened this season with Lia, I want HPD to be successful and competent. Especially Gordon. But HPD as a whole.

For someone as smart as Magnum, (after all, SEALs have a minimum IQ level and Magnum has demonstrated that he is quite capable and perceptive), breaking into the lawyer’s office was dumb. But hey, drama. And Magnum know’s the shorthand for the plea deals. Hmmm. Do I sense a noodle incident or four? But still, especially dumb idea because Higgins has just gone through some crap and managed to get her visa and immigration paperwork in order to stay in Hawaii (and NOT be deported), so a felony B&E might not look too good...just saying.

Jail banter between Thomas and Juliet was a little weak, but still funny. Kumu coming for bail and bringing breakfast? She’s good. And a little judgey...but not as judgey as Gordon. I love that Higgins and Magnum know not only who they can call to help bail them out of jail, but who is going to be comparatively judgey about it. But yeah, Gordon also would have demanded answers to some questions that Magnum and Higgins won’t answer. Kumu was a good choice. Plus, Kumu’s just cool. Providing breakfast with the old chestnut, “Last time I was in the clink, I was starving.”

I am impressed with Magnum working Maya (the fixer) with the ‘pay-to-drop-your-case’ ruse and guesstimating how much money she’s getting paid. That gives them a better picture of who has the resources and incentive to afford her. They worked Maya, used the Judge (willingly) to help flush the client out, and get them both implicated. Though since Maya has recordings of the wife admitting to killing her husband, Maya won’t see the inside of an HPD cell for longer than she has to.

I really like the Ohana helping Rick. He goes a little overboard trying to make changes to La Mariana with the ‘efficiency expert’. I really am not impressed that the advice the expert gave was basically to completely change the character of the place, but maybe that’s what made the Ohana help feel so good. Kumu and T.C. hook Rick up with Kaya (spelling?), the architectural historian, and hopefully end up getting La Mariana declared a historical landmark. But they’re just looking out for him, financially, physically, mentally. It all just drives home how great a group they are, and how important they are to each other.

Judge Park. I really like her. Higgins’ analysis about her is spot on, that her honesty and integrity about this whole thing make her more trustworthy. She has nothing to be embarrassed about. Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t particularly care if she worked for an escort service for three months, years, days, whatever. She found a solution for a problem she had, and now, has put herself in a position where she’s incredibly well-respected and a leader in her field. One of my favorite quotes is Dr. Manhattan: “Without condemning or condoning, I understand.”

One of the things that stood out for me about this episode, interestingly, is Magnum’s refrigerator. Well, and the smell of the guest house. But at the beginning of the episode, Higgins is looking in Magnum’s refrigerator and finds it pretty much bare. While he was dating Lia, he had started keeping it stocked with healthy and nutritious food. And the candles were gone. So it seems like Magnum has gone back to messy bachelor habits? But no! Wait for it! When Higgins comes to talk to Magnum at the end, she shyly points out he’s stocking the fridge and there’s a non-bachelor scent in the air. When she slowly asks if Magnum and Lia are back together, he gives her the line that since Lia isn’t the only person that comes to the guest house, he should/could make it nice for everybody. Implying Higgins, especially? Maybe I’m reading that into it because I want to. And on top of that, he asks Higgy if she wants to hang out and watch a movie, but she has to go over their paybooks so she takes the rain check.

And we finish up with a phone call from Maya. It might be interesting to set up a little bit of a competitive rivalry and sometimes battle between Maya and the Higgins/Magnum combo, but I hope Maya isn’t going to be set up as a romantic interest for Thomas. It just would seem out of place. Hopefully she’s just there to help bring Thomas and Juliet closer. Hopefully, but possibly not realistically.
