we didn’t see Raines, Roman, Abe, or any other Commissioner acting like Hope is acting. What Commissioner would allow his/her detective to call the shots as to who will or will not be hired, and flat out say to him/her, "no, absolutely not, I won’t allow it, or I won’t work with him/her. I’ll tell you what would appen….the detective would be out the door. I wonder if this is the writer’s way of pulling Hope and Rafe apart as a couple, which should be done anyway. I mean how many police commissioners could actually be allowed to make out in the squad room with one of their detectives? Just poorly written and completely unbelievable.
I also wonder if Rafe will start befriending Sami, which might just blow his relationship with Hope sky high anyway. I mean, I don’t mind them together (Hope/Rafe that is), but I do know that they are not a very popular coupld on many of /the boards.
Incidentally, I absolutely agree with Rafe on the J.J. situation. She did it because he’s family and nothing more, and that should never be allowed to have happened, regardless of how many believe Ben needed to be blown away. J.J. should not have been reinstated so quickly without facing some serious consequences for his action.
