Not only is the mail carrier a turkey but so is this episode
pkfloydmh29 September 2021
This one is about Owens being shot and a mail carrier who witnessed the shooting but doesn't want to get involved.

Of course, you know what's going to happen with Owens because without him, there wouldn't be a show, so there's no mystery or suspense there.

Regarding the mail carrier, he eventually tells the rookies what he saw and the thugs who shot Owens then attempt to kill him, and at this point the episode descends into madness, because instead of calling the police, he decides to take the law into his own hands and go after the thugs himself, which is absolutely absurd and unrealistic.

The episode mostly focuses on the mail carrier and his family and not much on the rookies. As a result, there isn't much action except for a shootout at the end, so this one is pretty dull.

Jill has a few scenes in the hospital as she updates the rookies on Owens' condition, but again, you know how that's going to turn out.

This is a dreadful and unexciting episode. It's a real dud.
