Numb3rs "Pay To Play" Review
Numb3rs Review
Episode: Pay To Play
Air Date: May 9, 2008
<spoiler alert> In the Numb3rs episode, Pay To Play, the featured guests stars are Juicy J and DJ Paul from the Academy Award winning rap group Three 6 Mafia. Don and the FBI team investigate the murder of a rap star.
It turns out that someone may be embezzling money, and the key to the case is an extra iPod which had an equation on it. Also, Amita’s parents come to town to meet Charlie and his dad.
Amita’s mom and dad, Tapti and Sanjay, seemed to be making Charlie uncomfortable at dinner. Why did they bring Kapil with them, and invite him to have dessert? I guess he’s their pick for Amita?
Hunter’s wife seemed to be hiding something all along, or that’s what I thought, until after she got into her vehicle and it exploded. I love Charlie’s explanation of using a burned out panel on the Jumbotron as a example of the grid he was reading. Megan has taken some time off, and is back in New York.
2BY4 was hilarious when he whispered to Colby to please protect him, and then yells back to his homies that “they can’t hold me”.
Amita figures out that later on that her parents were trying to set her up with Kapil, who according to her is gay.
Overall, it was a great episode. I didn’t really miss having pouty Megan around in this one, so her being MIA was OK. However, it was sweet that Don was so concerned about her absence. Whatever is going on, from seeing the scenes from next week, it’s building up to something big…

I was lukewarm on this one. I loved the idea of a potential Liz / Colby hook up. I love Liz and I don’t know why they can’t just keep her when Megan goes.
That scene with the rapper acting tough was a riot and I sure wasn’t expecting that explosion in the car!
But next week — finale — yikes! It’s gonna kill me for sure!
I’m with you…didn’t expect the drive-by while they were in the house, or the explosion.
And how dare they tease us with Liz and Colby together?….:D
I thought Pay to Play was a good episode, and 2B4Y was hilarious, he reminded me of vanilla ice for some reason. I’m not sure about a possible Colby/Liz pairing. To me it doesn’t make sense, if the producers wanted to put them together why didn’t they do it when Aya joined the cast. Instead they paired Liz with Don (I have commit issues) Epps. And in case anyones forgotten during that time Robin had just broken up with him, so to me it seemed like Liz was Don’s rebound. I’ve also find it to be strange that the writers just left Colby’s date with that girl Megan hooked him up with during the episode “Graphic” hanging, there was no mention afterwards of how the date went.
I’m also going to miss Megan, I really love the character and her pairing with Larry.
The best of luck to Diane Farr with her future projects and the arrival of her twins later this season.
