Incredibly Lame Pun is a redirect and not a trope by itself. Moments where someone acknowledges how bad the pun is counts as Lame Pun Reaction.

The discovery of the bones gets Bosch not only a case, but a date. He is met at the scene by another beat cop, Julia Brasher (Creator/AnnieWersching). Bosch pretends that he doesn't have his flashlight so he has to borrow hers, which means he later has to return it, which winds up with the two of them going out for drinks. Brasher reveals that she has only recently gone into a new career in law enforcement after briefly practicing as a lawyer.

The episode starts with LAPD detective third grade Literature/HarryBosch (Creator/TitusWelliver) and his partner Jerry Edgar (Creator/JamieHector) tailing a suspect in a SerialKiller investigation. When the man leaves his car and travels on foot, Bosch follows him. As rain begins to pour, Bosch catches the suspect in an alley. Bosch tells the suspect to freeze and the man gets down on his knees, but makes a suspicious movement. Bosch then fires his gun twice, killing the suspect.
Cut forward two years. It's the Christmas season, but it's not a very merry one for Bosch, who is not only alone, but is in court facing a civil suit over the death of that suspect, one Roberto Flores. Bosch insists that it was a "good shooting" in that Morales was going for his gun, but attorney Honey Chandler (Creator/MimiRogers), representing Morales' widow, alleges that CowboyCop Bosch executed Morales and planted a gun to make it look like a good shooting. Chandler also confronts Bosch in court with his own past, namely with his mother, a prostitute who was killed when Harry was 12. Her murder was never solved.
Meanwhile, Bosch winds up taking a call involving a civilian, a retired doctor, who reports discovering a human bone in the hills behind his home. Bosch goes to check it out and the doctor shows him a child's femur, which his dog dug up. Bosch follows the dog into the woods and finds finger bones, and just like that he has a murder case. Forensic pathologist Dr. Golliher eventually tells Bosch and Edgar that the victim was a boy of around 12, who died of blunt force trauma, but only after suffering years of chronic abuse.
The discovery of the bones gets Bosch not only a case, but a date. He is met at the scene by extremely attractive beat cop Julia Brasher (Creator/AnnieWersching). Bosch pretends that he doesn't have his flashlight so he has to borrow hers, which means he later has to return it, which winds up with the two of them going out for drinks. Brasher reveals that she has only recently gone into a new career in law enforcement after briefly practicing as a lawyer.

He soon winds up chasing his suspect on foot before shooting him. This establishes him both as world-weary and haunted, and a CowboyCop.
