Episode Summary & Review
Summary
While Mariah faces pressure to resign, Cornell tries to blackmail Luke into working for him. In the past, Cornell and Mariah’s history with Mama Mabel is revealed.
Our Take
The flashbacks to Mama Mabel’s era are the best part here, finally giving Cornell and Mariah some real backstory instead of just cartoon villainy. The problem is the present-day plot barely moves, and Cornell’s blackmail scheme feels like a retread of threats Luke has already shrugged off. Worth watching for the history lesson alone, but don’t expect the season to kick into gear.
