Rizzoli and Isles - season 1

I like it enough, but the best part of it is of course the lovely friendship between Jane and Maura, it’s a beautiful and precious relationship, I love it. 
I hate that, in movies, females always have to wear heels!! It’s really stupid to have Jane wear heels! They’re loud and not practical at all. That’s so not-Jane!!!  I find this very annoying.

1-See one, do one, teach one
It starts with Jane and Frankie playing basketball together. Jane:”I will beat you someday” - F”you beat me in everything, let me be better at something, ok?” Their mom is upset when she sees her nose bleeding after the game :-p At the crime scene later, Maura fixes her nose bones :p
The murder scene MO is the same as another killer in jail: Hoyt, so Jane thinks he had an apprentice. She goes to see him in prison but she gets nothing out of him. 
There are two serial-killers working together; they go after women and kill them, and they also go after Jane. The senior one almost killed Jane some time before, but Korzak came in time to save her. He takes her again, with the help of his apprentice, and this time she manages to save herself.
Jane takes care of the stray dog that Korzak picked up after he was wounded. 
There’s a cute FBI guy that both Jane and Maura like :-) Agent Dean. Jane put lipstick on before meeting him at another crime scene :-p Maura has a big tortoise at home called Bass (sorry to say there will be no more reference to Bass in further episode, or at least very little)
Maura and Jane lay on the bed together talking, and Jane tells her “I’ve never been so scared in all my life”. She wouldn’t say that to just anyone…
2-Boston strangler redux
The Boston strangler was arrested and died in prison, but now that women with the same names as the Strangler’s victims  are being strangled, Korzak starts wondering if the real strangler might still be out there. Jane and Korzak asks an ex-cop who worked the Boston strangler case for his help, and he points them in one direction. It turns out that he was obsessed with this case, and lost his mind. He himself killed three girls to frame the scumbag he thinks was the original killer.  He takes Maura hostage, but together with Jane they win :-) Of course :-)
It starts with a baseball game: homicide vs drugs division, interrupted by a corpse falling down (because the guy wanted to attract their attention, that was the whole point). A guy asks Maura out and seems to like her, even her non-stop chatting about science doesn’t put him off, until she diagnoses him having some kind of syndrome, and then he runs off (well, at the end at least he’ll call her to thank her :-D ). 
There’s a new lieutenant as chief of the squad, and Jane knows him since they were kids and she doesn’t like him. 
Angela wants Frankie to go work with his father, but dad knows it’s not what he wants to do. 
3-Sympathy for the devil
Jane has the little doggy at her home :-) Angela arranges a blind date for Jane, inviting home her Lt. It’s an awkward evening for a few minutes, then she leaves! :-p 
At the end, the Lt comes to tell her goodbye because he’s going away, and he tells her that he always liked her. He tries to kiss her, but she kisses him on the cheek, says goodnight and goes inside her home. 
Fun scene:
Jane: Maybe ghosts are real. Maybe I’m losing my mind
Maura: I could do a brain scan if you like
and it’s funny because she means it for real :lol: she’s not joking :-p 
Case: A 15 y.o. kid is found dead. There was no gang involved, and the boy’s mother talks about evil, so Maura suspects an exorcism. After many test they still don’t know the exact cause of death, until Jane has a dream and following it they find the right plant. It’s a plant they already saw at Matt’s dad’s house. He’s now living with another woman but he’s always said very clearly that he doesn’t want to have children with her because he already has a son; so, his new partner got rid of the boy in order to start a new family and have kids of her own. The strange voodoo church had nothing to do with it after all. 
4-She works hard for the money
Angela trades her car for a used old wreck and Jane has to intervene :-p and what a surprise, Maura seems to be an expert on cars too :-p I don’t see how it is possible though that she doesn’t know that sport teams have “attackers”, there are words that everybody knows, who listens to the news :-/
Jane tells Maura she regrets never going to college, and that she got admitted but gave it up because it was too expensive for her dad, and she never told him of course. She’s always had a big heart :-) and a strong character too :-D
Case: student Danielle is murdered at her University. Raphael Sbarge plays her father. Her scholarship got revoked because she couldn’t play in her soccer team anymore because of a serious injury, so she started to work as an escort to pay for her education, actually working for her school advisor :-/and it was him who killed her probably because she wanted to quit. 
At the end Jane says that she talked the school into giving a scholarship to Danielle’s best friend who had followed her same path and she also was hurt by the murderer when Jane wanted to arrest him (she ended up shooting him, and I think he died).
5-Money for nothing
Maura went out with Garrett Fairfield when she was 20. Now Adam Fairfield is found dead in the water. They are extremely rich, and Jane is hurt because Maura doesn’t back her up when she tries to interrogate the family. They have a fight; Jane complains that she didn’t support her, and Maura says “their brother just died, I’m sorry I couldn’t stand and just let you badger his family” which obviously hurt Jane. “badger? Is that how you describe how I do my job?” by the way, she didn’t in this particular case, she just asked a few  questions, nothing badger-y 
“The Fairfields helped build the city” ; Jane”my grandfather was an iron worker. He helped build the city”  and Maura“Are you mad at me for who my friends are?” and then “I’ll tell you if there is a case or not!” Come on Maura!!! :-/ 
Korzak tells Maura: “when you grow up like Jane you’re gonna have an attitude about people who… who are entitled” and Maura thinks it’s just prejudice :-/ Korzak also tells her “where people like me and Jane come from, we didn’t have a lot, but we had each other’s backs. Sounds to me like all Jane wants to know is: do you have hers or not?” Right! It seemed like she sided with them against her :-/
but of course she’ll come around and help her, because they’re too important to each other :-)
Maura even buys her a dress to go to the memorial :-) It’s really sad for her to find out that Garrett killed Adam, who was only a half-brother. 
At the end, Maura and Jane drink a beer together, Maura’s first beer ever :-p
6-I kissed a girl
Maura and Jane are doing Yoga together at the gym :-p 
Maura takes Jane on a double date and tries to get Jane to sleep with the guy, to have fun since Jane says she likes him , but Jane says “no, I didn’t shave my legs” and Maura”nice try” and she has a shaving kit in her bag :lol: she’s impossibly weird like that; Jane”what kind of person are you?” :lol: but I side with Jane on this one, because fun it’s not determined on how much sex you have, what a stupid concept, plus sex is much more fun if you actually really want to do it so Maura shouldn’t try to force her :-/ and as it turns out, talking a bit more he’s not exactly her type :-p
That Jorge guy kept sending Jane flowers and emails and chocolates and Jane told Maura to get rid of him, and somehow she let him assume that Jane was gay :p probably the only thing that could work with guys like that :p
When Frost stops a really big guy by himself Jane is surprised “wow you’ve been holding out on me Bruce Lee” :lol: 
A woman is killed, and she was married to another woman. Frost explains what LGBT means for those who don’t know (lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgender community). Not that hard to figure out. In Massachusetts same sex marriages are legal, but of course there are pathetic thugs who like the excuse to feel all superior and powerful and hate them, I guess they have nothing else going on for them ‘look at me look at me I’m a woman with a husband and children, I’m so much better than you are because of this; of course if it wasn’t for this I’d probably be more stupid more useless and more pathetic, but I have a husband and children so I’m the master and you’re the slave who should live as I The Almighty say you should’- kind of thing. 
 During the investigation, Jane goes undercover and they put her picture on a gay-dating-website and Maura tries to give her her clothes but Jane refuses :p and she goes to the bar with her everyday clothes… :-p Maura is there too posing as a waitress to collect the women’s glasses for their fingerprints (like in that Pacino movie). 
It turned out it was the same old story: the woman was killed by her spouse for the money (and probably the cheating) and also had a girl help her: she told her she loved her, calling her baby… same old story really 
7-Born to run
Maura and Jane are running the Massachusetts Marathon together, when they find a man who’s been shot dead. Maura is very stubborn and Jane has to insist a lot to stop her from creating a problem. Jane wants to pretend the guy was not at all shot and not dead either to avoid mass panicking, therefore she doesn’t stop the marathon. Maura has to do the autopsy right there under a tent. Mom and dad Rizzoli were there to cheer for Jane but they keep fighting all the time because she’s enjoying herself and having a good time while he’s not. 
When a second man is shot dead, they find out that those two 15 years ago had raped an underage girl along with a third man, a rich guy, so rich the thing never went to trial. Her family was ruined because of it, she committed suicide, and now her sister is out for revenge. They find him and stop her before she can kill him too (I suppose that was the right thing to do…) but arrest him for the rape… what good can it do now to arrest him? 15 years, girl dead, him a rich guy… it’ll never go anywhere :-/
At the end, Maura and Jane run the marathon alone, with Frankie following them to help them with the light of his bike, and mom and dad are there holding the finishing line :-) it was nice :)
8-I’m your boogie man
Hoyt is in prison but they are all afraid he might still be a danger. The hot Fbi guy comes back when they find the body of a man that Hoyt probably killed two years ago and froze it, and that somehow turned up now on a bench. Jane is off the case, but she finally talks to Korzak about the whole Hoyt business. He feels guilty for not being there, for making it hard for her to ask his help; she tells him he saved her life, and when he asks her why then they’re not partners anymore, she tells him that she can’t be his partner after he saw her like that, how could he trust her to have his back after seeing her broken…. aww poor Jane, she was never broken, only hurt and scared as anyone in her position would have been, but she’ll never be broken.
Frankie has a new love interest: he starts seeing and dating Lola, so when Jane is under protection, they are both allowed in the house. Unfortunately Lola points a gun at them once there. She was an abused wife, Hoyt killed her husband and kept her prisoner and abused her too, and after a while she was completely under his power. She holds Frankie and Jane prisoners; Jane tries to talk to her to make her realize that Hoyt doesn’t care about her, then Frankie manages to take her gun and shoot her. At the end Jane is finally having dinner with FBI Dean but she says to him “I’m not ready for someone like you” and he goes away…
9-The beast in me
A very smart identity thief is killed with an icepick. After a Dna test Maura learns that the dead man was her half-brother. She was adopted, we knew that from the last episode. The dead guy was the son of a mob boss, Patrick Doyle. When Doyle goes to identify his son, using a false name, Maura knows she’s looking at her biological father. She offers him a glass of water, he says “I’ll make it easier for you if that’s what you want”, and then he cuts his own hand with a knife without even flinching and gives her the handkerchief with his blood. “Goodbye Maura” he says and leaves.
Maura’s shocked when she learns who he is. He introduced himself to her as Mr Selsi, which is Isles backwards “he was toeing with me from the start, while he was staring at his murdered son”. Jane:”come on, he came to say a final goodbye to Colin and he knew that you wanted a dna sample so he gave you some of his blood, this is a guy with balls” - Maura”you’re defending a stone cold killer” - Jane”No I’m… yes I am and I’m gonna stop now”
Patrick has his people abduct Maura so he can talk to her. He tells her that her mother is alive : “you have her intensity and intelligence and class. She gave you up to keep you safe, we both did” and “I need to keep her safe too, she has a right to live her own life, but know she was heartbroken and never forgave me” - “for giving me up?” - “for who I am”
Colin was raised by his mother and only learned about him when she died: “the FBI couldn’t find me, my enemies couldn’t find me, but my 15 year-old son did”
He also tells her “I’ve always kept an eye on you” and he shows her pictures of her school, her graduation… he wants to protect her now, and he gives her a phone, he wants to know who killed Colin so he can keep her alive by sending a message. Maura tells Jane”he had a gentleness I wasn’t expecting” - “if he wants to protect you maybe we should just let him handle it” but Maura says no. When they trace Colin’s killer’s name to Tommy O’Rourke, Jane wants to make that call, but Maura doesn’t. Jane takes the phone with her anyway, with an excuse, and later they’ll find O’Rourke’s body with a picture of baby Maura on him. 
Jane:”it was Doyle” - Maura”who tipped him off?” - Jane”not me, you said not to. I think the message’s pretty clear though” - Frost”don’t mess with my family” - Korzak”you do what you need to do to protect family” good scene :-) I guess the thing here is that one of them made the call to protect Maura, but maybe not Jane herself so she wouldn’t have to lie; I mean, she didn’t say “I don’t know”, maybe she does know, and Frost and Korzak said nothing so maybe they did it.  
Frankie helped his father with a job :-p When Frankie called Jane, Maura went with her and they worked all together, having some family-time :-p Last scene is Maura and Jane throwing peanuts or something at Frankie joke-fighting with his dad. 
Nice scene: Maura”it’s a shame that they penetrated his temporal lobe, that would have been an excellent brain to study” ; Jane looking at her “yeah. bummer” :lol: it was funny :p
10-When the gun goes bang, bang, bang
A cop, Danny, is shot dead, then the bad guys assault the police station; they shoot two cops (one is Frankie) in their search for some piece of evidence. When Jane sees Frankie has been shot she brings him to Maura. He had the vest on but he was so close he got wounded badly anyway, and he’s got internal bleeding. Maura must operate on him , something she’s never done before but Jane insists. She helps him momentarily but he needs a hospital and surgery. 
Danny’s partner Bobby killed him, and when he’s found out he takes Jane hostage. They can’t shoot him because they’re too close so she gets hold of his hand and shoots him through her body! They all see them fall down together!
That was a great hero-moment to end it, episode and season. 
Jane is with Maura at the gym and feels  rather embarrassed when Maura compliments a guy on his muscles :lol: 

Rizzoli mom and dad are throwing a surprise party for their other son Tommy “he’s getting out early for good behaviour”. Angela is always fighting with her husband, and there’s probably something behind that because there’s rarely a good reason; this time it’s “I wanted the blue cups” :-/
