The Closer: Preview of Episode 5.2 “Blood Money”
The Closer – “Blood Money” – Brenda’s (Kyra Sedgwick) team is led to think that a crime isn’t what it seems to be. A rich financier under investigation for ripping off investors seems as if he was kidnapped. During the probe, meanwhile, Gabriel tries to cover the forensic accounting duties since Det. Daniels was just promoted to another division. Finally, Brenda and Fritz’s lovable cat Kitty is enduring serious medical issues.
If you think this episode of The Closer is far too similar to real life and Sedgwick’s tiff with now convicted financier Bernard Madoff, then you’re not alone. The 43-year-old actress and her actor-husband Kevin Bacon was reportedly victimized by the massive Ponzi scheme, but she said they didn’t lose everything in the scam.
“I think the interesting thing about it was that I always thought, `We’re so boring. We should be in the tabloids more. C’mon honey, let’s have a scandal,” she said. “Well, it wasn’t the truth that we were destroyed. It’s been really unpleasant and makes you feel really vulnerable. But the fact of the matter is that we did not lose everything. We lost hard-earned money that we worked very hard for that was what we thought in a safe place. It’s painful but a lot of people lost a lot more. And we have a lot of things to be grateful for in our life, and we never ever forget that.”
The Closer’s last episode – and season 5 opener – reeled in 7.14 million viewers, a marked increase from the 6 mil that saw last season’s finale. On the episode, Brenda’s squad investigated a quadruple murder that had links to an FBI case. Each detective showed signs of their own personal connection to the case – with their own heartaches brought to surface by identifying with similar losses embodied in the homicide case.
