Numb3rs 4x14: Checkmate

[katikat]

This episode was so much fun. It felt like the whole cast was back where it used to be, like the ep last week was so awkward and weird just because they had to find some common ground after the strike again.

I loved Charlie having fun with the FBI training. And Don being all smiley around Charlie once more and not his usual broody self. I liked how close they seemed in the FBI gym, Don's advice to kick the guy in the balls and Charlie's smiley response that it was the same advice Don gave him in elementary school. That was fun!

And Megan all happy just by watching Larry. Larry being all excited about the theory that he was working on...

And David and Colby. I liked their little pats and touching, how concerned Colby was for David in this ep, his "You okay?" when they saved him and the boy from the gang members, his advice to David to quit moping around and actually help the boy. Awesome!

Fast national ratings for this episode: 9.59 mil., last week's fast nationals: 9.91 mil.

I loved Numb3rs this week! Much less awkward than last week. Love that Charlie still goes to Larry for advice/mentoring, and that Alan got to be helpful with the chess! Overall much better.

Exactly! And also the stuff between Don and Charlie seemed much more relaxed. They were laughing and joking together and not being all broody over nothing *beams*

I loved this week's episode. Don was really being Charlie's big brother again, and that gym moment was adorable. This is why I started watching the show.

Exactly! For the first time in foverever, I felt the brotherly relationship return. Even more than in the ep where the baddies shot at Charlie. In this episode, it was the small things...
