When the firehouse puts together enough information to put away a scheming real estate hustler who wants an Obamaville out of his sight, and the rookie has enough street smarts to help a kid who shouldn't be on the streets get into a more structured environment, it's a good shift.
Lastly, frequent readers know how much I love Ritter and how underutilized I believe the character is, so it should come as no surprise how enjoyable his subplot was.There's enough of the tragic vision in the causes of the week, if there are, indeed, causes, to make the ongoing flouting of all that human resources holds sacred worth putting up with.
It tied in nicely with the primary "cause of the week" storyline that occupied a good portion of our screen time while still allowing us more insight into Ritter.
We know very little about who Ritter is outside of being a firefighter, so getting to learn a little more about his backstory was much appreciated.
It wasn't immediately obvious where the writers were going with Ritter's interest in helping out Vanessa, but connecting it back to him having a homeless friend as a teenager was a nice touch
