Natch, this tried & true hook proves perfect for serving up some naughty clues & news about the BDSM community-- which, to Crossing Jordan's credit, are presented in an enlightened fashion despite the murderous overtones-- as well as some tongue-in-cheeky scenes where both Woody & Jordan-- the on & off again love interests providing the show's "sexual tension"-- are given the chance to smirk & snicker enough to make the viewer wonder if... "Hey, how was Mary Catherine?" Jordan asks after meeting up with Woody who, (photo above), was definitely excited about interviewing Mary Catherine, the seductive, naughty schoolgirl at the webcam service provider the 2 sleuths eventually tie to the murdered woman. "Swell. We discussed the finer points of SPANKING techniques, so this trip wasn't a complete waste of time!" Woody gushes. Jordan smiles & snickers enough to make Woody blush & rush, "Assuming you're right [about a connection to the webcast BDSM biz], how are we supposed to catch the right one?" "Why, red-handed of course!" Jordan cracks wise, then pulls out a list of the murdered bottom's most favorite chat room Doms, which she obtained from the on-line business's resident Master after an insightful-in-more-ways-than-case-specific face-to-face conversation. "I think you're too good at this!" "Takes a thief, Wood." Jordan replies with a twinkle in her eye & a marvelously mysterious Mona Lisa-esque smile as the 2 walk off into the night & later when Jordan composes an amazingly insightful & appropriately termed submissive e-mail to send off to the suspects. Later still, after convincing Woody & her ex-cop Dad (Ken Howard) that she should go undercover as a bottom to catch the Top who kills, Jordan brings along an easy to spot copy (hers, perhaps?) of Marquis De Sade's, The 120 Days of Sodom & Other Writings, & perches her cute little caboose in Dad's Boston bar to await the arrival of the 3 suspects she's lured to the meet with appropriately provocative emails saying how very naughty she is. Nervously watching from the bar, Jordan's Dad & Woody don't spot the first suspect since he's about as dangerous looking as an overgrown puppy, which, he turns out to be when Jordan gives him the eye & asks, "You're new at this, aren't you Burt?" "Um, well, ah, y-yes," the nervous wannabe Dom sputters. "I-I've never met with anyone-- B-But I fantasize a lot!" "Sorry, Burt," Jordan smiles gently & tries to let the obviously innocent suspect down easy. "But I'm looking for an experienced Master." Burt is crestfallen, but too eager to give up without a final try. He blurts out, "I-I could SPANK you if you want!", which takes Jordan and, especially, her backup boys by surprise in a cute scene where Woody spits out his beer & Dad glowers at Burt like he'd like to wring his neck. The 2nd suspect is never seen. The 3rd turns out to be an idiot of an experienced Dom & the killer who, by way of explanation, says, "All she had to do was use her safe word. I watched her lips as I strangled her. She never used it." Turns out, the woman wanted to die. But fulfilling someone's fantasy only goes so far before it crosses the SAFE, SANE & consensual line, a fact that the show had established as normal for us kinky folk prior to the bad seed's confession. Okay, so the plot was tragic & there was no real spanking. But, still in all, the episode was another good get the word out platform with more than enough positives to outweigh the negatives on network TV, the still reigning media champ & societal influence of them all. - cm |
