RIZZOLI & ISLES “Bloodlines” Review

RIZZOLI & ISLES (TNT) Bloodlines Season 2 Episode 7

RIZZOLI & ISLES “Bloodlines” Season 2 Episode 7 – Tonight’s episode had a whole lotta witches in it. And no, I’m not just talking about Frankie’s ex-girlfriend.

A modern day with is burned at the stake and the team is tasked with figuring out who did it. Along the way, Korsak picks up a black cat, this continuing his habit of getting pets from their crime scenes – though I was happy to see that this animal survived to the closing credits, unlike the last one. Once séance to contact the original victim, plus one more victim added to the mix, and they figure out that the culprit isn’t anything supernatural at all, but just a poor girl suffering from mental illness.

Meanwhile, the aforementioned ex-girlfriend blasts into town after apparently breaking Frankie’s heart (not to mention his wallet) a few years ago. Except now she’s got a little girl in tow and claims he’s her father. In the end I felt sorry for the kid after being dragged into town and told that a man is her father, only to find out that her mother lied to her. Even if Theresa was just mistaken, that still pretty much sucks for Lily.

My favorite bits..

Whoa. Very creepy moment followed by a pancake shaped like a bunny. Oddest transition ever.

“I love bunny pancakes!” – Aw, now I totally want to know how to make a bunny pancake.

Maura of course getting the “female visitor” thing confused with the.uh.other kind of visitor.

Okay, am I the only one who wanted to pull out a mirror and ruler when Maura said that thing about guys being attracted to women with symmetrical faces?

Jane tricking Maura into deciding on the sex of the body against her scientific judgment.

Frankie’s imitation of his sister. It may not have sounded anything like her, but I still found it hilarious.

Aw, I thought Korsak’s baby kitty talk was cute.

Frost practically running through the next wall after breaking down the cellar door.

OMG Jane is standing in a Devil’s Trap! Oh wait, wrong show. My bad.

Maura knowing a heck of a lot about spell casting.

Frost and Jane both giving Korsak dirty looks just for being a white male.

Jane asking Maura if her fancy car could also get rid of french fry smell.

Wow, Lily is both cute and smart. Even she knows that french fries can make you fat. Now if I could just remember that little fact myself.

Frost offering to let Korsak hold his hand if he got scared at the séance. LOL.

The look on Korsak’s face when those candles went out.

Maura and Jane stealing a bit of Lily’s DNA.

I’m with Korsak. I SO didn’t need to know that Roman centurions used to attach their capes to their nipple piercings.

Jane calling Korsak “Ace Ventura” after he walked in with cat scratches all over his face.

Aw, I’m kinda disappointed that Lily isn’t Frankie’s daughter. Then again, I don’t think I could stand having Theresa around too much. People chewing with their mouths open is one of my biggest pet peeves.

What did you think of this episode of Rizzoli & Isles? Got any favorite bits or least favorite bits of your own? I’d love to hear from you!

After my Tuesday morning ritual [reading your review while ep is d/l] I watched the ep right away…

We clearly had a mother theme last episode… was this one supposed to have a father-daughter theme ?? with Frankie-Lily & Sabrina-Rev I’m going with it…

I loved that when they go to Bennett’s home you hear “Hey, new guy…” and it’s Frankie who crashes the door and not Frost…

The episode was ot one of the bests but OK…

Thanks for your great review !!

I like you Tuesday morning routine! ;o)

I agree, this ep wasn’t the best but it was pretty cute and had some great moments. Hadn’t thought about it but yeah, I guess this one was probably more of a father-daughter theme.

Egad….. you hit just about all the high points…. still ROTFLOL about your reference to devil’s trap – I was thinking the same thing – we need to get out more…. LOL….

I really enjoyed this episode. It was full of snark, which make me laugh. You missed that mama Rizzoli also captured DNA to give to Maura. But, Frankie trumped them all by doing his own testing. HAH!

Was I the only one thinking – “don’t break down that basement door, there are stairs on the other side?” In my house, if he did that, he would have ended up tumbling down a flight of stairs and breaking his neck. Not many basements have landings like that…..

I thought Teresa was Frankie’s ex-wife? But, thinking about it, did they just call her his ex? Hmmm….

Pancakes…. my family used to make animal shapes when I was growing up. Now I’m regretting not making them for my kids when they were little. 8-( Yet another reason to castigate myself as a mother….

While I was not ready to pull out a mirror, I was staring harder at Jane and Maura’s faces there for a while to see if they were symmetric.
Great review as always!

LOL! So glad I wasn’t the only one thinking of a Devil’s Trap during that scene.

I guess it comes from never living in a house with a basement, but it never occurred to me that breaking down a door could be followed by a fall down a flight of stairs.

Hmmm….I think they only said ex, not ex-wife. From the way they were talking about her taking money, etc, I didn’t get the impression they were ever married – just that she had been a really bad relationship for Frankie.

Nah, no reason to get after yourself for not making animal pancakes. Besides, you can always look forward to doing it with grandkids someday.

Haha! I hadn’t thought to check Maura’s and Jane’s faces for symmetry. I will do that next time, though. ;o)

I’m pretty sure the Roman Centurion nipple thingy was made up, they were wearing armor, so no chance for a piercing to hold a cape. The whole idea is ridiculous and it was the first time I ever heard of this.

Ah, I did some googeling and this is what I found:

“Roman Centurions wore leather armour breast plates which were shaped
to fit the body and rings were sometimes placed in these breastplates
where the nipples appeared to be, the rings were used to hang a cape from.
This has led to the belief by some people that the actual nipples were
pierced to hang a cape from, but anybody who has had their nipples pierced
would tell you that this would be a very uncomfortable practice.”

Thank you so much for clearing that up! Seriously. As a huge fan of Kevin McKidd in Rome (and now of course on Grey’s Anatomy), I immediately got an image of him with the nipple things and ……. *shivers* Not pretty.

So thanks again for clearing that up and erasing that not-so-lovely image from my mind. ;o)
