Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Marshall arrives in jail and learns that some very important people refuse to let him out, while danger lurks around every corner. Frances makes a fateful decision. Copano and Harrington pick up the pieces.
Our Take
A tense, tightly wound hour that trades the show’s usual dark comedy for pure paranoia, and it mostly pays off. The jail setting ratchets up the dread every time Marshall turns a corner, and Frances finally gets a decision with real weight behind it. It drags a bit in the middle stretch with the agents, but the ending lands hard. Worth your time.
