Episode Summary: When the boxing opponent of a young man Ray is training is sent to the hospital possibly dead, a man turns up dead and the evidence suggests Ray's wannabe boxer may have done it.

Quick Thoughts:

- Ray K is building connection with people in a boxing youth program. I like his interaction with Levon. He's trying to be a good mentor for him.

- He's almost showing off his boxing moves in the ring. He said he gave up boxing because of Stella. I wondered whether he got involved with this before or after going undercover.

- The fighting scene and music is very fast paced. I'm surprised that Welsh turns up at the match.

- As a mystery fan, I know that the furosemide will be significant. I don't get why Fraser changed his heart and said they shouldn't test for this. Getting Mort to be curious on his own seems very circumvent. Ray seems annoyed because he's backing up Fraser in asking for a test before Fraser changed his mind.

- Fraser shows that being seen as crazy is as useful as having money and knowing the lingo.

- The arrest scene is very emotional. Fraser's face!

- I like Francesca's banter with Ray, but her not knowing the right word is getting old.

- Fraser being passive aggressive in his punch is great. "I mean, there are certain drawbacks to being Canadian. "

- I like how Ray & Welsh don't argue much when Fraser points out that Devlin is a suspect

- The song choice with the pursuit scene is very good. The fall and the windows shards look very painful.

- Ray asks for Fraser's help. Fraser winces when Mason landed four punches on Ray. I like that Ray isn't a good boxer and looks dirty after the fight.

- Watergate reference!

- Is Fraser... rapping at the end? Like the song.

I enjoy the bit of background we get about Ray and his love of boxing in this episode. I like that he's giving up his own time to do mentoring. As cynical as he tries to come off, it shows an underlying hope to invest time in youth and community beyond his job.

I like how much this episode shows how Fraser cares about Ray, almost like he's watching over him in some ways. However, some of the so-called lingo is cringe-worthy.

Overall, this was a fun episode and if I can dismiss some of the stereotypes depicted, I can have a great time.
