The nurse said my blood pressure was high, and condemned me to go to the GP's for three weeks, to compare readings (It was OK when I was there a few weeks ago-). She thinks I ...

Handful of CM thoughts as I got 'em.

...s going to turn out that he didn't do it, isn't it? That's he's just drug-addled and sad? 7. And Jaje immediately twigs, but follows into the house. Oh, Jaje! Did "Revelations" teach you nothing? Badness only happens when your or Spence goes off alone! 8. Ohhhh, Ray. This is where the episode is kind of going off the rails for me, I think, though it's Hollywood, and they do the wacky there.

... own ass if I let something happen to me. It's like he takes every little crime in the city personally. And just try telling him that he's not a cop anymore and it's not his job to stop badness?" She rolled her eyes. What was she supposed to tell Lindsey?
