polite to Johnson's mother, which irritates Johnson's father. Provenza's age is often the matter of jokes between the squad. At one point, when Provenza starts talking about his first job, Flynn asks if it was cabin boy on the Mayflower or dishwasher at the Last Supper. Chauvinistic and politically incorrect, Provenza has been forced to attend sensitivity training for his inappropriate behavior and remarks. He has been portrayed enduring a hard time accepting new or different methods for conducting interrogations and solving cases. He resists practically any type of change and initially resented being bossed around by a woman. Above all else, he absolutely hates it when anyone places an item or sits on his desk. Despite this, he comes to respect both Johnson and Raydor. His political incorrectness is best seen when his former partner George Andrews returns as a transgender woman named Georgette. Provenza struggles with the revelation and has a hard time working with his old friend, insisting that Georgette must go back to being a man for the sake of the case. By the end of the episode, Provenza has become more accepting of his friend now being a woman. He develops a close relationship with Rusty Beck, and supports him through Rusty’s realization, struggle, acceptance, and disclosure of his homosexuality. He recognizes Rusty is gay before Rusty does. While Provenza doesn’t have personal experience with gay issues he continues to grow as surrogate grandfather. A running theme in Major Crimes is that at the beginning of the second season, Provenza buys the squad a new high-tech printer after their original printer breaks between seasons one and two and they have trouble getting it replaced. Provenza begins charging everyone whenever they print something with it. At one point, Russell Taylor states that it's the best printer in the building, though he refuses to pay, citing his superior rank as a reason. As a result of the purchase, the squad is frequently seen putting change in a jar on Provenza's desk throughout the series, sometimes at the prompting of Provenza. The printer, money jar and Provenza's bobblehead are three of the only things that survive the bombing of the murder room at the end of the fifth season, causing Julio Sanchez to comment "roaches, rats and Provenza. They survive anything." The printer sees continued use in the rebuilt and redesigned murder room in the sixth season rather
