Commentary:

John DeCarli: This episode starts out as almost pastoral and tranquil (when it shows the baseball practice) but ends up being maybe the most violent of the first season shows. It sure is a good thing that Jake is such a bad shot (with a shotgun!) when he shoots at Ioki and Hanson in the house, and later when he takes a shot at FrankHartman. And I have to laugh a little when Hanson pulls a shotgun out of the trunk of his Mustang- he didn't even have a carjack back in episode 4. Otherwise, this is a good ensemble show.
