What I Liked
1. Theo Rossi appears in this episode as Sofia’s therapist named Julian Rush. It’s always nice to see Theo pop up in a series whether that be Marvel, DC, or another franchise. He is a great actor in everything he appears in.
2. Oz creates a plan to deliver the drugs to a new area. He creates a plan which goes off the rails when he’s forced to be on the product truck which is filled with guards. The truck gets attacked, Oz kills a few Falcone men but manages to get out safely.
3. I do really like how they are not just skipping over the events of The Batman movie. Like they have news reports from after the events. It’s little touches like these that truly make these past 2 episodes better than they are.
4. Oz is teaching Vic lessons. As Vic failed to plant the jewels in the car, it caused Oz to have to plant the knife on Sofia’s guard. Lot of work for Oz as he states. As to be rough in his lessons, Oz forces Vic to lie down with some dead bodies.
What I Disliked
Nothing to report.
Favorite Moment
My favorite moment would be when they are back at the mansion for a wake for Sofia’s brother. Oz is running against time as when the Maroni soldier begins to talk, it’s over for Oz. Oz being Oz weasles his way through everything. Oz tries to get the soldier to blame Johnny Viti, but the plan once again goes off the rails so Oz resorts to killing the soldier.
Standout Character
Once again this goes to Oz. Seeing his brilliance in managing to think off the fly and figure out plans at the moment to keep playing everyone against each other is pure genius.
Verdict
Another good episode. This episode truly shows Oz showcases his brilliance in being a mastermind of playing people against each other to suit Oz’s needs. It also showcased the teachings that Oz is giving to Vic. Sofia Falcone was brilliant in this episode once again.
