"Rizzoli & Isles" - The Complete Third Season

My hubby and I just completed the third season of "rizzoli & isles" on DVD and he was hesitant to watch the last episode because all the other seasons have been cliff hangers and he doesn't like waiting until the beginning of the next season (which we've already requested from the library but we're number 70 something in the list of patrons who want it!) to find out what happened.  So....I watched the last episode without him and it actually cleared up a couple of things left hanging earlier in this season and the only real "cliff hanger" is just a continuation of one we've already been waiting to see how it would resolve itself.  With that done he agreed to watch the last episode with me.

Although I'm a big fan of this series, I think I've enjoyed this season the most so far.  Jane and Maura spend the first episode dealing with the aftermath of last season's final episode and figuring out how to heal their friendship. It felt like this season had a little more humor in it -- quite the feat for a show based on a homicide squad.  This season involves all the members of Jane's family at some point with some secrets coming out.  Jane's mother (after being asked for a divorce by her father) starts dating again.  We meet Frost's mother and her new partner and watch Frost obsess over an old case that has been brought to his attention again in the midst of a case he and Jane are working on.  Maura is trying to figure out what role her biological mother might have in her life -- if any.  I loved the intermingling of the murder investigations with their personal lives.  My spouse did have one observation - What is it that Jane's cop brother Frankie does?  He's always around to help out if they need him in homicide or to take a family member home or ???  How come he has so much flexibility?  If you know the answer, clue us in, please!  pazt
