Is the aim of this season to consistently ship me on an emotional rollercoaster? If that’s the case, it’s succeeding expeditiously.
After studying that the Zabel Ridge hearth was dominated an arson, I used to be nervous about how Bode would react to the information. Sharon advised him about it in final week’s episode and for just a few moments, I satisfied myself that he wasn’t going to do the Bode factor the place he takes issues into his personal arms. I assumed he was really going to pay attention, however in fact he disregards ATF’s warning to allow them to deal with it. Whereas doing his personal investigation, he comes up with a possible suspect; Jeff Branick.

I used to be past pissed off with Bode this episode – he’s so near being a free man, however continues to defy orders and tries to get solutions on his personal. ATF is taking this investigation severely, however they have to not be shifting quick sufficient for Bode. When he lies to the crew and goes after Jeff on his personal, Manny chases him all the way down to attempt to put some sense into him. Manny is a godsend; he’s been saving Bode from himself for therefore lengthy and doesn’t stop. Fortunately Manny reaches him in time and Bode received some semblance of sense again into him. As they have been leaving, ATF made their strategy to Jeff’s home. See Bode? They’re listening to you, you simply should be affected person. Think about how dangerous this is able to’ve been if Bode received caught there.
All indicators result in Jeff however one thing advised me it couldn’t be that simple. There was sufficient credible proof in opposition to him, however Jeff had an alibi for that evening. Understanding that this was arson and it’s clearly somebody who has one thing in opposition to Edgewater, and likewise is acquainted with Edgewater, I can’t assist however suppose again to a different arsonist we met again in season one. What if…?

I beloved the Walter and Sharon moments on this episode. We lastly received some solutions as to why Sharon’s mother was blackmailing Vince. Sharon discovered the quantity Vince was paying for Walter’s facility was lower than he advised her and thought to have Walter come over and clarify the reasoning. Walter explains that Vince was paying Sharon’s mother off to maintain her away. He was scared after Sharon’s motorbike accident and thought that her mother, Ruby, being round was not one of the best. Particularly when she blamed Sharon for what occurred with Riley and Bode. Good on Vince to maintain that girl away.
Ever since Vince handed, Walter has at all times had this sense of guilt about him, which I didn’t perceive. It was an accident – he did what he thought Vince would’ve wished and that was to get Sharon to security. However when he advised Sharon the true occasions of that evening, I cried along with her. Walter defined to her that when the roof got here down and he claims he didn’t see Vince that that was a lie. He noticed Vince and knew that he was already gone and he wished to spare Sharon from seeing him that means. That’s why he hurried her out of the constructing. Sharon wanted to listen to that; she’s been so laborious on herself and I hope realizing this helps ease the guilt.
-I’m glad she discovered the energy to achieve out to her mom too. She gave her a fast replace – Vince is gone and so is your payout. She advised her to proceed to remain away. You suppose she listened? After all not! Ruby exhibits up and invitations herself in. This could’t finish properly.
There was a lot extra that occurred on this episode and I wish to hear your ideas. Share them under or join with me on X/Twitter @chenfordhugs
