Filed a complaint against my old partner George Andrews. Said he was misogynistic, heh. We had to look it up. Got both of us four months of sensitivity training. Brenda Leigh Johnson : Well, that was a complete waste of time. Sign In. The Closer. Crime Drama Mystery. Director Rick Wallace. James Duff Duppy Demetrius. Kyra Sedgwick J.

James Duff knows he's trying something that may never have been attempted before in the history of television. It's a complex switcheroo where star Kyra Sedgwick and two of her most prominent co-stars from TNT's hit crime drama The Closer will say goodbye.
But the rest of the cast stays intact, headed by a character played by guest star Mary McDonnell in a series with a new name, Major Crimes. Sharon Raydor. This is a series transplant of major proportions. And as the last six Closer episodes begin airing this week, no one knows better than Duff, executive producer and creator of both The Closer and Major Crimes , how easy it would be to mess it all up.
For Sedgwick, the segue was a unique opportunity to avoid some serious guilt. As the show's title star, her decision to stop playing The Closer after seven years could have meant that Duff, her co-stars and the show's crew would have had to find other work.
Then TNT kept the show going, allowing her to enjoy the farewells for a finely sculpted character without the bittersweet knowledge that her artistic decisions were costing other people their jobs. And I feel like we avoided that; we did give her an honorable and interesting sendoff, and I feel like that was my job. She had the largest speaking role on television for a long time and that's hard. It's like running a marathon. He recalled a moment, while filming during the first season, when Sedgwick pulled him aside.
Instead of hitting the shooter, Gabriel hits Erik Whitner, an unarmed kid. The rest of Major Crimes manage to find the missing bullets shot at Gabriel and determine that the shooter was actually standing behind Erik when Gabriel fired, resulting in Gabriel hitting the wrong person. The shooter and the killer of the man Gabriel had been investigating turns out to be Erik's cousin Billy who murdered the man in a racially-motivated hate crime while Erik acted as his lookout.
Gabriel is cleared of all wrongdoing and is given advice by Taylor and Julio on how to handle his mandatory therapy interview the next day. He still feels guilty over shooting Erik however as Erik was unarmed.
After learning how far Anne went to become close to him, the disgusted Gabriel refuses to hear Anne out, ends their relationship and throws her out of his house. At his own request, Gabriel admits what he did to Brenda and the rest of the squad. Gabriel later attempts to resign, but is talked out of it by Brenda who recognizes her culpability in the situation. And we can prove it.
