    Good morning™, night chiefs!

    Tracy seems to have things figured out so far.

    Now all he has to do is find Sawtooth before Sawtooth finds him.

    Sawtooth would be a fool to confront Tracy again. He got lucky before. Not again. Long range death, but is he proficient in the LRK? Long Range Kill. Maybe a bomb? Unless they have built in detectors for such sabotage.

    And here I thought a police officer’s wife’s sleepless night was due to the danger he faced on the streets—not the late night wrist radio calls. Diet needs to add Blue Tooth tech

    Sawtooth could have a new client who was connected to Mr. Bribery.

    Have they forgotten about “Witness Protection” in the Tracyverse?

    While today is somewhat of a filler strip mainly dedicated to product placement of the new DT watch, we (along with Tracy) can make certain implications.

    Other than being present at the bust, Ygor was likely not implicated in any crime. Without police knowledge of the Matty Squared AI program, Ygor could claim to only be hired to do IT and had no knowledge of Bribery’s illegal activities. It probably didn’t hurt his cause once he decided to testify against Bribery. Ygor would have been an important witness in dismantling Bribery’s international empire (which seems to have shrunk to Bribery and Sawtooth if you don’t count Crystal—what happened to BB Eyes, Double-up, Mumbles and all those other thugs who used to call him Boss? Where’s NanTay’s brother?). Has the MCU even been investigating this or was it referred to Fritz Ann at the FBI?

    It has not been explained how Bribery was able to arrange a hit cross-country from a jail cell; who tipped off Ishida; or why Sawtooth would so carefully hide his identity while travelling only to blatantly (blood dripping from mouth implying he bit out Ygor’s throat) announce himself at the scene of a murder, slug Tracy’s partner, and threaten Tracy’s life (“I hid myself all the way but now that I’ve arrived, here I am”).

    In my oinion, it would have been interesting to see Bribery conniving in prison and would have fleshed out things a bit. The beginning of this story seems a bit rushed with what seems to me to be an effort to get to the Tracy/Sawtooth confrontation, which seems to be what this all is leading up to and perhaps a lead-in to a larger Bribery/Moon Governor/Purdy Fallar & Notta resolution to this years-long over-arching mystery.

    Even so, Tracy’s logic was correct in connecting Bribery, Sawtooth, and Ygor but it is not a deduction worthy of Sherlock Holmes. I think Watson could have figured this one out.

    There are a lot of threads open and it’s time to start weaving them together. The connections could be interesting

    I guess Tracy is just excited enough after the midnight showing of RHPS and the murder of Ygor Glitch thereafter and the assault on Sam that he just couldn’t wait until morning to fill in the Chief of Police, Pat Patton, on his theories and deductions. Toby Patton is rather less interested and more annoyed at the 2:00 or 3:00 AM call.

    BTW, while Pat has aged over the years, Toby looks still like a very young woman. What is her secret?!
