Review: Exit The Closer, Enter Major Crimes

One of the things I'll miss most about Brenda Leigh Johnson is her sweet tooth: that secret compulsion and most shameful addiction indulged by the Deputy Chief of the LAPD's Major Crimes Division whenever she reaches for that overstuffed top desk drawer, a Pavlovian response to the nerve-wracking stress of her high-profile job. In a more typical L.A. crime story, the hard-driving boss reveals a weakness for booze. With Brenda, it's the soothing waft of chocolate when she peels back the foil from a Ding Dong, savoring the guilty pleasure.

The Closer: Will a Shot in the Dark Kill Gabriel's Career? Plus an Exclusive Video Sneak Peek

This week on TNT's The Closer (Monday at 9 pm), one of the Major Crimes Division's own — Det. Sgt. David Gabriel — finds himself facing tough questions in the wake of a shooting. Corey Reynolds previewed his character's crisis as well as the introduction of one of Brenda's most formidable foes ever. (Also: Read The Closer creator James Duff's blog about this episode.) TVGuide.com: The consensus seems to be that this season's first two episodes have been fine and all, but we have yet to get that "wow" episode. Is this week's that episode?Corey Reynolds: I'd like to think it is. This week's episode is really exciting for a couple of different reasons. For myself personally, acting-wise, it was a bit of a challenge to let myself go through the emotions that take place. And we get a heavyweight guest star coming in this week, with Mary McDonnell (Battlestar Galactica) playing Capt. Raydor. I can assure you, she quickly becomes one of Kyra [Sedgwick]'s most vicious [on-screen] nemeses.  (Watch an exclusive video clip below.) TVGuide.com: Even more so than any slippery suspect, like Jason O'Mara's firebug or Billy Burke's Phillip Stroh?Reynolds: You'd think that two officers working together would share some commonality, more so than an officer working against a criminal.
