Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Darlene makes one too many rash moves. Marty tries to free Rachel from Agent Petty’s grasp. Jonah helps his mom force Wilkes to continue his support.

Our Take

A busy hour that juggles three storylines without dropping any of them. The Darlene material crackles with the usual dangerous energy, and Jonah stepping further into the family business gives the Byrde household a nice jolt of unease. The Rachel subplot moves slower than the rest but pays off with a genuinely tense standoff. Solid, propulsive stuff that sets the table for the finale.
