Nice that Robb reprinted the missing piece

A setup using social engineering technique.

I thought they were both arrested for the baseball memorabilia attempted heist.

it’s Joe’s recap

Flashback

All wrapped up!

Although it would be funny if you were being arrested for not washing your hands, you ain’t.

Curious as to what is significant about Jan 7 beside Cptn. Ruiz’s coffee mug.

JUMP to January 7 to see what this is in reference to.

By the way, Mortimer first saw Bodine’s mug shot December 23rd.

Going back to the beginning of the Bodine story arc…

Love a Sunday continuity strip!

“It’s deja vu all over again”, to quote Yogi Berra.

There’s still the connection to Shark and the “fatal” crash to sort out.

How did he get inside the precinct? When you’re in booking you’re in an area only accessed by law enforcement. Windows are small or non existent. Comic magic at it’s finest.

Cops arrest people anywhere they want to. There’s no law against arresting someone in a restroom.

Caught in a time loop.

Well written Robb.

Flashback to see how it was all done!

Joe reliving his mistake. Ouch!

I still want to know how they were able to replicate the entire exhibit and replace the whole thing without getting caught. Just the time and expense it would take to research and fabricate the replicas would take months. They would have needed to go to the museum, find out what artifacts were moving, take photos and measurements, then have the replicas made somewhere.

Hindsight is 20/20

This makes it all make sense.

So why would the Bodines want the one cop to see a Bodine walk in and then walk out of a gas station restroom? I guess they wanted the “innocent” one to get arrested that day, but that doesn’t make much sense. The whole story is way too convoluted.

Ruiz had no way of knowing there were 2 Bodines. If she somehow knew, she certainly should have told Joe and Crunchy. She is a bad boss.

And THAT’S what happened.
