Tread Perilously is a podcast in which hosts Erik Amaya and author Justin Robinson watch the “worst” episodes of popular TV shows, attempting to determine if they would continue to watch the series based on the most off-key moments.

This Week: Rizzoli & Isles‘s “Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow”

John Allen Nelson November continues on Tread Perilously with an episode of Rizzoli & Isles called “Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow.”

As Rizzoli continues to grouse about her move to D.C. — and Isles continues to make check-lists for her friend’s new living situation — she’s called in to investigate the murder of a man whose daughter was slain 40 years earlier. As it turns out, Korsak was dating the girl’s sister at the time of the first crime. And once he becomes alerted to the new case, it becomes very personal. Isles uses some forensics magic to determine both killings were committed by the same person. Could they be hiding in plain sight?

Erik and Justin lament the relative lack of Nelson throughout the episode, but enjoy spending some time with Rizzoli and Isles again. The pair also come up with more roles for Nelson to play. The episode turns out to be the penultimate Rizzoli & Isles, leading to a lot of subplots Erik and Justin must parse without key knowledge. It’s unclear if either knows who’s who on The Odd Couple. Justin continues to support the sapphic reading of the show. Rizzoli’s new beau proves distracting. Bruce McGill gets his flowers. Local politics enjoys the spotlight and Justin finally catches up on The Traitors: New Blood.
