What's New with Mark episode


I watched the episode "What's New with Mark" today, and had mixed emotions about the plot. Remembering the conversations between Mark and the Chief, I was hoping that they would have that kind of conversation about the time they spent together over 7 years and, Mark would finally be able to express his gratitude to the Chief. There was not that conversation, but at least there was a scene with just the two of them discussing Mark's case. It was good to have both of them together for the last time in the apartment/office, and I will miss those moments. Concern for the Chief's welfare was shown by Ed and Fran, but I won't reveal the ending for those who have not seen it. What did you think about this episode?

I thought it was great also, and that the Chief helped Mark to get the man he needed to close his case. I'm also glad that there was humor in this episode, since some of that was missing. Cant't wait to see the other episodes in Season 8.

It still puzzles me that Mark was simultaneously a detective on the SFPD and a defense lawyer at the same time. Seems like there would.have been a few conflicts of interest there...
