Easily my favorite episode so far this season. It had both
intrigued and humor. With Dixon Lamb being set up by his former
girlfriend Violet, he is looking at going away to prison for
assault and battery. Sure, we all know he is innocent and that
she is being forced to lie out of fear and self preservation
with Silver pulling the strings. The fun of the episode was
watching Ralph track down the leads necessary to prove his son's
innocence. They may have come to resolution by getting Violet to
recant her statement, but I have a feeling we will be seeing a
lot more of Silver in the future as he tries to take down the
Lamb Family...one by one.

I'm not particularly a fan of Michael Ironside, but I think he
may finally have found a role that I think he could be good in.
As a rival to Vincent, it's clearly going to escalate into some
kind of turf war between the two and he looks like a credible
threat as well. As for FBI Agent Byrne, I am not surprised at
all that one of the people that he detained to "shake down"
would end up shooting him. I've been wanting someone to do just
that since he arrived on the show, especially after this
episode. This is a knock against the actor that plays him, it's
a compliment in the character he plays because he is so good at
being "bad". A show is only as good as the "villain". He's not
really a villain because all he is doing is following the law,
at the expense of innocent people, just to get his man....or in
this episode....woman.

This one all about setups and what is sure to follow is going to
be big. I just assumed that Ralph would be the Sheriff the
entire time that series was on the air. Sure, this is nothing
more than temporary "lapse in employment" for the sole purpose
of uniting Lamb and Savino together against a common enemy. I
can't wait to see how this plays out, especially with Lamb
finding out that Porter Gainsley (Michael Ironside) had his wife
murdered and not the car "accident" everyone thought it to be.
Interesting development going on with Mia and Tommy (Enver
Gjokaj) flirting with each other. It's not gonna stop there and
Jack is not gonna be happy when he finds out. I have a feeling
that the writers are going to kill off Katherine (Carrie-Anne
Moss) in the season finale....or they have her fighting for her
life, hanging in the balance if you will for the cliffhanger and
then kill her off at the start of Season 2. Just a weird feeling
I'm getting. I'd like to see her stay. She's fantastic. That
wasn't my opinion at the start of the season with so little
screen time on her part. But now, she is a great part to the big
picture.

A solid episode, but not what I would call a great Season
Finale. With the alliance between Ralph and Savino, I was
expecting a lot of bang. The showdown at the end against Porter
Gainsley turned out to be nothing more than a moral exercise for
Ralph in choosing not to kill him in cold blood for revenge
against the man that killed his wife. Like I said, good episode,
just didn't quite get there. The ending also looked like a
series finale.........

....which it was. I'm not surprised that the show was cancelled.
Disappointed, yes. I really enjoyed the second half of the
season more so than the first half. They really found their
groove and were building something great with the characters and
history of both sides of the law. Sucks it was cancelled. The
Season Finale does leave some big unanswered questions about Mia
and her new f*ck buddy, Jack's future as well as Catherine,
still in a coma. Ugh.
Moving thread to Greatest Hits & Misses.....
