THE SHIELD - Season 5.8 - KAVANAUGH

The series doesn't get much better than this episode.  It's explosive at every turn, symbolized by the fact that a Salvadorian gang has purchased grenades in order to get back into the drug business.

The episode is outstanding at showing just how far Kavanaugh will go to get Vic - striking a deal with a convicted felon while arresting Curtis even after he's just saved Kavanaugh's life.  That is pure three-dimensional writing as the conflict builds with each decision made.

This season started out slow but is hitting its heights now.
