Culprit: The man who was brought in for questioning tells Boyle that he did it, but dies before he can get a filmed confirmation.
Resolution: Holt's bad day is caused by a moment in which he was mugged. He claims that his actions made him feel foolish and that he shouldn't be acting that way. Boyle feels guilty that the culprit died before he could get a chance to prove that he did it. Holt goes back to normal and everyone's happy.
Verdict: A rather strong episode that manages to highlight what makes Holt such a great character and Braugher's delivery so perfect for the show. While he is a stern boss, he has power hidden under the deadpan delivery and to hear him talk about rubber band balls is rather infectious. Everyone's productivity is based on his happiness, and that was an interesting thing to see in a more dire situation. Meanwhile the mystery surrounding the situation was just as enjoyable and the slow reveal of what lead Holt to his anger has some deep and interesting truths to it. Meanwhile, Boyle's frustration is great because of how charming the man was and that he actually got away with it until his death. A very strong episode that wraps up the mystery element in an excellent, subversive tissue.
