Happy Birthday, Lee Harvey Oswald

Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Jake finally confronts George to determine if Lee acted alone or not. Meanwhile, Bill rebels against Jake’s orders, and Sadie’s life is threatened by the Yellow Card Man.

Our Take

This episode gets bogged down in the Oswald surveillance stretch, with a lot of waiting around that the show doesn’t make interesting enough. Franco carries the slower scenes fine, but the Bill subplot feels like filler designed to stall the clock. The Sadie danger adds some needed tension late, though it arrives abruptly. Worth watching if you’re committed, but it’s a middle-of-the-road hour.
