Someone Should Tell 'Annika' That 1984 Didn't Have This Many Daddy Issues
We've reached the halfway point of Annika's second season, and the most prominent life crisis on the table, telling Michael he's Morgan's father without blowing everything to smithereens, has been accomplished. No one is suing anyone for custody, no one quit their jobs, and best of all, no one blabbed to Morgan. Once he calmed down, Michael took three girl's worth of fatherhood training and smoothly slid right into that subtle paternal role without looking like he was doing anything at all. Annika couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Naturally, that's why this week, two different complications will show up at once.
Michael: Annika likes to wait a few years before she tells me the big stuff.
But first, let's hit the case of the week, which takes the team (now minus Tyrone, who officially transferred) to the Isle of Jura in the Inner Hebrides. Unfortunately, the mode of transportation is helicopter, not boat, which Annika is far less comfortable with, babbling on about how George Orwell chose to write 1984 here to keep from panicking. Michael is patient with that; less so with learning she forgot to mention Tyrone's official replacement is Episode 2's DC Harper Weston. At being asked if the body is secure, Harper gives Michael a look — it's frozen in an ice block, stored in a fishery's freezer unit (there's no police station or morgue), so I'll go with that's a yes.
