By the time he and Brenda reunite, he's newly single from his second failed marriage, and must navigate the tension he feels with Brenda, as he brings her under his command. This, naturally, gets in the way of Pope's ability to manage Brenda, resulting in Pope getting in Brenda's way more than maximizing her potential as "the closer" on his force.
In an interview with TV Guide , J. Simmons summed up the tension between Will Pope and Brenda, admitting that his character's slightly less professional when it comes to the Deputy Chief, "He's absolutely capable of [treating Brenda professionally].
But we're shooting an episode now where his concern for Brenda will affect his behavior and the way he reacts. He's definitely a bit of a hound dog. I'm sure that's gotten him into hot water in the past, and if I have anything to say about it, it'll get him in trouble again. After he ended it, he went on to divorce his first wife whose name was never revealed to marry Estelle. Despite this history, Pope asks Brenda to attend his deposition to gain custody of his kids as a character witness.
When Brenda first transfers to Los Angeles, Pope defends her against the other detectives' complaints, and can be fiercely protective of her. Pope's relationship with Fritz Howard is somewhat awkward and strained as Fritz knows about Brenda and Pope's previous affair. Fritz calls Will "the pope". He asks Brenda to keep him informed of her case after Scott is found murdered. Pope divorced his first wife to marry Estelle.
She divorces him during Season 2. Pope gains custody of his children after asking Brenda to appear at his deposition. Estelle, furious at Brenda for her testimony at the deposition, forces her way up to the Squad Room and yells at Brenda, in front of everyone, that "she better not find out that she is sleeping with Pope again".
Everyone present in the squad room, including Commander Taylor, thus learns of Brenda's former affair with Pope and began to ask themselves the inevitable question, "was she transferred here and given such a high rank due to her relationship with Pope?
Commander Taylor later makes a statement to the entire squad about Estelle, discrediting her accusations against Brenda and saving Pope and Brenda from added embarrassment.
When in uniform, Pope wears wears six service stripes on his uniform. The Police Medal is an award for bravery, usually awarded to officers for individual acts of heroism in the line of duty, though not above and beyond the call of duty, as is required for the Medal of Valor.
The Police Meritorious Service Medal is awarded to employees who distinguish themselves by performing exceptional service in a duty of great responsibility or of critical importance to law enforcement, but to a lesser degree than required for the Police Distinguished Service Medal.
Main characters. You reach a certain point in your life, usually in your 30s, where you say … I didn't realize I was making these choices, but I guess I really have and this is what my life looks like.
Duff described the situation more simply. Fans might be surprised to learn Duff considers Johnson and Pope to be two halves of his ego — ambition and idealism on one side, pragmatism on the other.
The struggle between those themes in the workplace "is what The Closer is really about," he said. Along the way, he created a character in Johnson who is tough but fragile.
She is strong enough to challenge LAPD bureaucracy, but weak enough to scarf junk food for emotional release. That's not like any woman I know,' " said Sedgwick. Sedgwick's only regret as her show ends is that they never found a way to give her a female friend. The move to Major Crimes means losing J. In Major Crimes , the LAPD joins forces with the district attorney's office to get convictions in murder cases strong enough to cut down the expense of trying murder cases.
We now end with a conviction," Duff said. And the producer insists The Closer ends five weeks from Monday with a moment he has been driving to from the beginning of the series, played perfectly by Sedgwick.
