Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Lucas’ cover is threatened when Carrie decides to give him over to Rabbit in an effort to protect herself and her family. Meanwhile, a drugstore robbery turns into a full blown hostage crisis at the high school, with Deva and Mayor Kendall’s wife Janie among those whose lives are imperiled
Our Take
A tense hour that mostly earns its suspense, with the school hostage crisis delivering real urgency and giving Ulrich Thomsen a chance to be genuinely menacing. The Carrie-Lucas material drags a bit by comparison, retreading trust issues we’ve already covered. Still a strong episode worth your time, especially for the standoff’s final minutes.
