He's Gone

Thu, Nov 10, 202247 mins

NYPD Detective Avi Avraham is clueless captain Kathleen Davies's best man, specialized in missing persons and unrivaled as passive-aggressive interviewer, but a controversial maverick. Ambitious Janine Harris asked to be teamed-up to learn from him, yet can't resist petty criticism. Veteran detective Earl Malzone also cooperates, relying on traditional methods. High school nerd Vincent Conte's mother Nora reports him missing, Avi sees through her pretense of a happy family, learning father Leonard rowed with him the previous day. An interview confirms he has excessive expectations of extracurricular activities to get into Ivy League and considers Vincent a weakling. Meanwhile would be-novelist Zack Miller is frustrated as his part-time writing class instructor tells him to choose another calling for his limited writing talent, wife Dania, initially kept in the dark, encourages him to persevere.

The Knowing

Thu, Nov 10, 202244 mins

Avi duly ignores captain Davies's formalistic criticism ad braves a formal witness complaint about alleged 'inappropriate familiarity' with Vincent's mother Nora from the hostile husband Leonard, whom she now finds the courage to scold a lousy family father, later admitting a crush on Avi. It becomes clear Vincent was deeply unhappy due to his non-supportive father, unpopular at school and used by a desired classmate to render her jock boyfriend jealous by his first-ever date. Ave finds his big suitcase gone and enough stuff to assume a fugue. Zack Miller finally impresses his writing class with first person letters, which his wife Dania, who is close to Nora, finds spooky, realizing he based them on notes from Vince.

Avi checks on Earl's suspicion of fired 'Nazi' teacher John Wentworth having denied contact with Vincent, but keeps him as witness. Writing course instructor Michael Rosen informs the police of Zach MilIer's unprecedented insightful script apparently based on Vince's diary notes, which turns wife Dania most suspicious, but she must confess to him having kissed the confused knave after the popular girl abused him.

One bomb alert at Anna Harvey's day care center was ignored (previous episode, Vincent case) by NYPD as a prank, but more follow and an evacuation is done when a fake device is found and destroyed.
