The Return of Beau Felton

I just received a phone call yesterday that the people from
Homicide wanted to know how many of the series regular
they could get to come back to do the final episode. I said
that's interesting, my character's brains were blown off .. they
said maybe it'd be a memory of me or something ... I said if
Isabella goes back, I will.
Knowing how "St. Elsewhere" ended, maybe it won't be "a memory"
piece...

Not that I think Beau Felton is that great a character that he has to be
back, but what is this about the final episode? Is this the last season for
Homicide? Or is this for the final episode of the season?
I know that H:LotS hasn't been winning in its time slot but it is in the
Death slot. Is NBC finally giving up on "the best show you're not
watching"?

Does this mean they'll ask Melissa Leo or Ned Beatty back? If they asked
Melissa very nicely (I hope Fontana has to grovel), she might return.
Linda
Melissa Leo must return so that Beau can haunt her in a dream. One
night, she'll dream about Agnes Saunders again and she'll keep seeing
Beau
teasing her and laughing. As the laughter trails off Beau looks
terrified
and Kay keeps seeing him being shot in his own bathroom. She doesn't
see
the man who pulls the trigger but the face of the man ordering him to
shoot
is vaguely familiar, but too blurry to distinguish. It will be one of
those
recurring dreams where Kay keeps trying to stop the shooting or see one
of
the suspects but can't.
Later, Kay will have another dream where she and Beau are out for a
walk
on a quiet country lane. They hear noise and look back to see a herd of
crazed, greased pigs are headed straight for them. They run. Kay
glances
back in horror to see that Beau has tripped and fallen and is being
trampled
by the pigs. Knowing she cannot help, she tries to save herself by
running
into a peach orchard. Spying a ladder propped against a tree, she
scales
it and tries to catch her breath. In the tree, slurping on a peach, is
a
dark-haired boy who is about 5 years old. Kay asks his name and the
child
says, "Daddy just calls me 'muh kid.'"
The next day, still haunted by these dreams and still thinking about
Beau, Kay realizes how long it has been since she visited the Homicide
Unit. The only person she sees is Ballard. Kay introduces herself and
says, "Even with all the changes around here, I can't believe Naomi
left."
Rolling her eyes, Ballard retorts, "Hey, I'm a detective!"
Kay laughs, "Yeah right, they knew I was coming, didn't they? Who
put
you up to this, Lewis?"
"Look, Kate or whatever your name is, if you don't have official
business here, I think you should leave."
"I just need to talk to Bayliss, Lewis or Gee, I have some new ideas
about the Felton shooting. I'll just borrow a pen and paper from this
here
desk and leave a note." While writing Kay glances at a picture on the
desk
and recognizes the child from her dream. "This Falsone's kid? He sure
is
getting big."
Ballard blushes, "Yes that is Paul's little boy."
"What are you turning all red for? People are going to think that
you
are sleeping with the guy."
Ballard blushes again, "uh errrr NO, we broke that off."
Kay turns to leave just as Tim returns from lunch. Telling him that
they need to talk, she walks with him to the box. He is only mildly
surprised that Falsone is probably involved in the Felton shooting. The
two-parter ends with Kay and Tim in Gee's office.
Any thoughts on Part 2?

Kay and Gee argue about why he took her off the Felton case. Gee tells her he
took her and Megan off because he suspected the real killer (Calzone), was in
their midst. Gee deliberately made the case go cold until he could find enough
evidence to arrest Falsone. Tim, Kay, and Gee agree to put the final nails in
Falsone's coffin by coercing him into a confession.
Before this can happen, Kay runs into Sheppard. "How are you Rene? Haven't
seen you since you left fugitive. Sorry to hear about the beatdown." Rene
thinks Kay is yet another of the many people who don't coddle her about the
beatdown, so they're the enemy. "Because I'm not the great Kay Howard, of the
100% clearance rate, means I'm not a good detective? Have you ever been beaten
within an inch of your life?"
Kay: I got a bullet to the heart, I almost died. No one questioned my
abilities, they respected me. You know why? I had respect because I earned it,
not demanded it. You don't get respect by acting bitchy and snapping at
everyone who doesn't kiss you ass.
Kay looks at her with disgust. "This isn't the right job for you Rene. Writing
parking tickets might be more you speed. But hey, maybe not. Those angry
drivers can look really nasty sometimes, I wouldn't want your feelings to get
hurt." Kay then walks away, leaving Sheppard to wallow in her own self-pity.
Kay and Gee get Falsone in the box, claiming she has a tape of Falsone
confessing to Beau's murder. The tape is really a collection of incoherent
animal noises and grunts, but since Falsone sounded like this for most of
season 5 and 6, he thinks it's his voice. He confesses. Before she takes
Falsone to a cell, Ballard jumps in front of him, drawing a gun. "You can't
take my man!" A paperweight flies across the room and hits her in the head,
knocking her out. Kay sees that the paperweight came from Beau's old desk. She
takes Falsone to his cell, says goodbye to the guys, and leaves.
That night, Kay has another dream with Beau. This time, Beau's standing inside
her kitchen, peering in the refrigerator. "No good beer Howie? You used to buy
better than this." He thanks her for solving his murder, he can rest in peace
now. "I can't wait until you're up here. Crosetti found out who killed Lincoln,
and he won't shut up about it. I told him if he doesn't shut up, my partner
will beat the crap out of him." He tells her to go back to the homicide unit,
so she can clear out those "secretaries with guns." Before he goes, Kay asks
him if he ever really found her attractive. He says yes. Kay: "Is it my hair?
Everyone says they love my hair." Beau laughs. "Howie, if you were completely
bald, you'd still be hot." He kisses her on the cheek and says goodbye.
Kay wakes up. Two beers are missing from her fridge. In their place is a note.
"IOU: Salami Brain and Beau owe Kay Howard the price of two beers. Will pay her
in 60 or 70 years."

around the newsgroup for more info but obviously I have missed something. It
actually would not be so bad if they ended now as the show, since Frank left
has really not been the same. Actually, since a lot of the old crew left. I
was not very impressed with the Law and Order crossover this time although
Munch is really great.

Let's give Beau a break, shall we? It was only after his own entrance into
the afterlife that he discovered Crosetti's transsexualism, and it's
obviously been something of a shock. I know it is for me, but I suppose one
should always suspect hypermasculinity as some form of overcompensation.

not what i meant, but playin along, i put forth the theory that beau had
nothing to overcompensate for, since the student nurses were treated to
something they hadnt seen before while checkin him out.....and i figured
steve was more translucent than transexual. he came out of the water so
blue, i wanted to call him morphan....

They just finished filming episode 20 of 22 last week so the season ender is
probably already written. Maybe it's just self promotional BS on Baldwin's
part, his career hasn't exactly taken off since leaving the show.

Crosetti took a beer, but Beau wrote the note. Once Steve finds out Beau called
him Salami Brain, he'll probably write a formal complain to the big shift
commander in the sky.

I meant complaint.

I figured they were going to end it next season and they were contacting people
so they weren't caught short writing big parts for people who couldn't make
it..
