Junior Detective Juliet O'Hara knows that only stupid people underestimate chances.
With Carlton being on vacation (also called "finally being as far away from Spencer as possible")
without assigning her to another senior detective she knows that everything has to be
perfect. She really doesn't want her partner to come back and face some unorganized havoc. She really doesn't want him to give her the 'I thought we were past that stage' look that always gives her the feeling she has to start from scratch. And she
absolutely doesn't want to screw this up and look like a silly rookie who seems too young or inexperienced for this.
So she has been working hard on the reports all day, has organized stuff, talked to the officers, finished all the paperwork and now looks forward to a new case.
