There’s A Quick Back-And-Ofth BetWeen Harlan and Grade in a Previous Episode in Which grady Has to explain some of the Things they do at the farm to stop drones and satellites from being to see what they’re doing. IT’S almost a throwaway, but the gist of it is some things have Changed Sine Harlan and HIS DAD Top-Tier Drug Runners. Harlan’s which deal with grady, with Belle, with everyone, really is that he ben doing this for a long time, so he knows how to handle everything. He Alone Knows How to Fix Every Problem. He is Very Good at what he d He did. Hammering the idea of discretion into grady – figuratively, not literally, and yes, this is a show that that demands clarication – is a good thing! I mean, grady isn’t going to list, but harlan is correct in his position. The problem, howver, is that Harlan doesn’t know how to handle every, more imported, Everyone, and it is beComing more apparent with each Passing day.
When Harlan Starts Going on About How Belle Should be Scared of Grady Because Harlan Knows How to Keep Him in Line and Everynding is Working Out Exactly How they Want, and at that Exact Moment, He Surprise Video FROM grady, who is out hunting with diller. Is this The Waterfront‘s atempt at comedy? Its Very Cute, if so. Harlan doesn’t find it funny. DOES HARLAN FINT ANYTHING FUNNY? I actually did a jump scare scare and smiled while talking to belle. SO, His Lack of Appreciation for the Comdic Timing of It All Could Be Caulus Harlan is Humorless, But Mostly ITLY’S and KNOWS THAT WRIPPING HIS AROUND DILLER AND WAVING HIS SHOTGUN AROUND IS A POWER PLAY. Grady doesn’t raise his voice or make angry threats; He Simply Shows People and is in Control at All Times. This Little Hunting Trip Comes Up Right AFTER HARL PUTS HIS FOOT DOWN ABOUT THE TWO-BOAT RUNS-A-DAY RULE. To Harlan’s Face, Grade Calls Him Bossy. crack He Goes and Basically Kidnaps Harlan’s Grandson and Taks Him to A Secluded Area With Lots of Ammo. Although, can you call it a kidnapping if diller Willingly, gleefully got in the car of a guy he met once for minutes? Honestly, that part of diller. JUST Because A Strange Man Says Don’t Worry, IT’S NOT STRAGER DANGERdoesn’t with it’s not Stranger Danger.
Harlan races over to the trail Because and he is a Big, Strong Man and he will fix everything. IT SEEMS LIKE GRADY JUST WANTS TO HAVE A LITTLE BONTLE TIME with its new partner, but he also repeatedly brings up the idea that Harlan could be liker to Him, which is at the sad, creepy, and hilarious. Is he being honest or is this another one of his games? WHO KNOWS? It ‘honestly better that we can’t get an actual read on this guy. Now, he – and harlan – Might Maintaine that he has files his gun way and it hits diller it was an Accident duue to his inexperience, but that “acident” happens after Harlan’s rules. Grady is a guy who does anyding and everything to get what he wants. Maybe grazing a teen with an errant hunting rifle in front of his grandfather is one of Those Things.
Speaking of Doing Anyding to Get What You Want: Remember when Bree trickened her boyfriend into overdoting and he died? BREE SURE DOES. When she was wakes up the nextly Morning at Cane’s, she is in a Bad, Bad Way. She is vomiting bot physically and emotionally. Sweet Cane Slept in the Chair Next to Her and He Holds a Trash Can for Her while She Barfs. It”s SO Nice! It Also Leads to A Morning of Some Mucch-Needed Sibling Bonding.
Bree confesses that she didn’t want to kill marcus; She was just just going to blackmail Him. Cane Tries to tell her that was the heroin that killed marcus, not bree, but girl is all about account Accountability Now. She won’t take the easy out here. She Also Winds up Telling Her Brother About How She Was there are ther Grandfather was tortured and killed and that their mom to Keep it aepret. If she context like it didn’t happy, that would be as good as it is not happy. And i thought Harlan Had Some Wacky Parenting Techniques. While it is hard to hear, it does help Cane understand his sister and her demons a little bit more. Nor she sobs, he reaches out for her hand. I Think Everybody’s Healed Now !!
Oh, no, just kidding. No Buckley Will Ever Be Healed. But the siblings do saem like a more united front going forward, which is nice. Its especally nice at this moment Becausea Cane Get the Call That Diller’s Been Shot. At the hospital, Cane gets yet another eye-on in regards to what his his had has to deal with belle rushes in, hugs her daughter WHO IS DISTRAUGHT Over Her Child Getting Shotand thatn through mom magic or what can tel that bree hae been use and walks away from her, full of disappointment. Cane Apologizes to his sister for “EVEYTHING.” Jake Weary and Melissa Benoist are Very Compelling Together on-Screen. In a show that is prey surface-level when it is comes to emotions, i buy this dynamic.
Belle Tracks Down Harlan, Who, After Watching His Grandson Take a Hit Because of Him (Don’t Word, Diller Will Be Fine), Believes He Can Fix the Situation. Belle Sayys, Okay, hotshot, if you want to fix everything, fix thisand thatn tosses a big envelope full of papers from the bank saying that is going to be buying their loans and, thus, all of their assets. Well, I think that what Those papers mean. I Cannot Stress This Enough: I will have swimming time to learn about banking procedures, and that is just a rule of live by.
Belle takes off with shawwn at her side (he had been the one to deliver the diller news at the restaurant) and who does she wies in the parking lot but grady and one of his goons. He’s Brought A “Feel Better” Balloon for Diller, Which, Regardless of Intert, Still Reads Psychopath to me. Out of all the buckleys, belle has the lottest temperament with grady, so as he goes on and on about what happened, as he is wont to do, she stops with a swift to the face. It is awesome. Grade Tries to hit Her Back, but shack tackles Him and then processes to reveal himself as a jiujitsu master and he fucks every real good. Belle Might be All Horny About It, I Can’t Tell Yet. Once Again, My Only Wish for Shawn is that it realizes the buckleys live in a hellscape, he does not need to say, and he should return to his nice boyfriend in galveston. He won’t do any of this, but at least we can say we tried to warn Him.
Harlan Heads to the Office to Read Over the Documents Belle Tossed in His Lap. IT’S LATE AND HE SHOULD DEFINITELY NOT BE INVOGATING ANY WEIRD NOISES HEARS BY HIMSELF, but that exactly what he d and walks right into grady and a bunch of His guys. Grady Needs Harlan to Undersand that he is in Charge. They are following his rules. Harlan has two jobs here, to give grady what he wans, when he wants it. To make sura since point gets across to the Big Guy, grady has HIS HIS MEN HARL DOWN COUNTER DUMPS PORTUGENT MAN O’WARS AND THEIR VEY PAINFUL TENTACles All Over His Chest. “Starting to get it, Harlan?” He asks. Yeah, I Think Harlan Gets it Loud and Clear Now.
• During Cane and Bree’s Bonding Session, BREE ASKS HER Brother if he thinks he would’ve peyton if she hadnn’t gotten pregnant – she knows cane and have an undenable connection. Hes heys he still would’ve married her… Becausee “What Else Was (he) going to do?” Please, no one tell peyton that; She Might Dause Hersself in Gasoline. Saying that out loud must unlock something in a kidsause, by the end of the episode, he breaks his “I can’t see you anymore” rule and heads over Jenna, where they will up in bed.
• Belle does attempt to get we are to leave the buckley land alone, but she dosesn’t offfer Anyding; She just nice nicery. He tells her that she seames like someone who has lost their way and she should really look into that. SO, I GUESS The sex wasn’t that good. Although, Wes Did Divorce His Wife. SO it wasn’t that bad eather.
• Oh, I laughed when tommy, who works on the fish house floor, describes grady as “that weird dude.” HAVE A BLIP OF A Character Can’t Deal with Grady’s Quirks.
