Episode 1: "We Don't Need Another Hero"
Airs: July 11
Set 12 weeks after the season one finale. Flashbacks will be incorporated to fill in what happened after the shooting. Jane survived (shocker) as did Frankie. You can read the first few pages of the script HERE.
Jane wants her trauma surgeon, Byron Slucky (Larry Poindexter, "The Hard Times of RJ Berger"), to clear her for active duty, but Maura - who has developed chemistry with Slucky - picks up on the fact that something is getting in the way of Jane's recovery and tells Jane "You are my business." Jane's still in pain, which Maura thinks is psychosomatic. Jane asks, "What do you do when fear is killing you?" There's Rizzles drama when Jane shows up to Maura's house only to discover that Slucky spent the night. ...That's pretty sucky.
In other news, Jane gets an award (Maura tells her "Heroes are actually social deviants!") and meets a "real" hero at the ceremony - a woman who was shot during combat in Afghanistan. The soldier becomes the subject of a homicide investigation when her car gets blown up.
On a personal note, an old high school friend of Jane's named Charles "Casey" Jones (Chris Vance, "Mental") attends the ceremony and reconnects with her. Casey is a sergeant major who takes an absence from his tour of duty in Afghanistan and ends up staying in Boston to help with the investigation.
