Did Jane really think it was a good idea to give the baby to them? It doesn't seem that way to me.

@Its_only_me: I agree with you, but if the child has no other relatives except his grandfather, he would have been handed over to him anyway. Or left in the system if he refused. I prefer to think that Grandpa will take care, if only out of guilt. He helped his daughter. And even such a house is better than a shelter, in most cases.

And why not? The woman is quite pleasant and has done nothing wrong, the man is a cheater, but you can't put a cross on him. And the son actually killed out of self-defense, and then just got scared. Besides, the man took care of his daughter, and I think he also took care of his granddaughter. This option is better than a shelter.

Patrick and the baby ^__________^ :3
These are the last seconds of the episode, when he handed the child over to "grandma and grandpa", and after that his smile gradually disappeared. This is the moment when you realize that he knows what it's like to lose a child, and knows how valuable a "new child" in the form of a granddaughter is in this case.
And even earlier, when a woman from social services took a child from Patrick's hands, and he was obviously so upset about it.
This is all about how amazingly well thought out the psychology in this series is. The behavior of the characters is five stars. All these emotions and interactions.
This also includes the moment with Van Pelt and Rigsby, when they simultaneously reached for food, and then recoiled.

Surprisingly. I can't believe it.
I absolutely do not like Lisbon (I hear Lisben, by the way), although the same actress in the Escape, playing Veronica, impressed me very much. And it seems that either the color of her hair, or such thinness, makes her look very old. Jane's voice acting cuts my ear (TV3), and I can't do anything about it. His languor is painfully at odds with his visual image.

But! With all this, the series fly by one after another, the amazing depth of feelings, very interesting investigations and experiences of our CBI department. The actors act out at the highest level. I expected less. It's a great series.

I agree with you. I didn't expect to see such live and real characters in the procedural. The series is a real find

Lisbon doesn't seem to be stupid. Did she really think Jane didn't know when she was lying to him? Yes, he knows her like a flake, he knows all her thoughts in advance and he is also aware that she is drooling at him.

A very interesting plot in this series. I looked at the next breath. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to hand over a child, but at least this way the baby has a chance to grow up in her family, and it's a good "replacement" and "distraction" for newly minted grandparents.
Yes, this episode is worth watching at least for the sake of pineapple pizza, talking about Leah Lisbon and the last seconds with Patrick's smile. Highly recommended!

A very interesting plot in this series. I watched it in one go. Highly recommended! You can look at it just for the moment with pineapples, a toothpick on a glass, Lisbon's lies and the last seconds with Patrick's smile.
To be honest, I'm not sure that handing over a child to these people is a good idea. However, this is at least some kind of "replacement" and "distraction" for the newly minted grandparents.
And Jane is so sweet with the kids, it's just a miracle.

За один день посмотрела восемь серий, первые пять - не прерываясь. И почему я раньше игнорировала этот шедевр? Всем сердцем люблю Грегори Хауса и Шерлока Холмса, так что и Патрик Джейн меня зацепил. Чего только стоит его улыбка!
Больше всего нравится тот факт, что убийцу можно вычислить самому, если смотреть внимательно и обращать внимание на детали.

Сериал вполне себе приятен и ненапряжен, но никак не могу проникнуться главным героем. Хорошо прописан характер, интересные реплики, но сам актер вообще визуально как-то не нравится. Возможно, ещё дело в то, что съемки были 15 лет назад и все выглядит несколько неактуально - причёски, костюмы…

А я прям чувствую себя фанаткой в пубертате, но очень зашел главный герой) И улыбка, и характер, и эта вся загадочность, а кудри его видели?
Я думала, что меня таким не сломить уже, но ошиблась)))
