Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Botched museum heist in Harrisburg has unintended consequences, as Lucas, Carrie and Job renew their partnership, at least for the moment. Later, after coercing redneck henchman Arno to offer up incriminating evidence, Lucas and Emmett arrest Proctor for Hanson’s murder, but are detoured on the way to the jail. Sugar looks for a cut; Kendall gets roughed up; Lucas and Carrie love the ones they’re with.

Our Take

A mostly plot-moving hour that still finds time for some satisfying nastiness, with the museum heist giving Job a welcome chance to shine and the Proctor arrest building real tension even if you know it won’t stick. The Kendall subplot is hard to watch in a way that feels earned rather than cheap. Not the season’s best, but it keeps the momentum going.
