Hey, Good News: Peyton Buckley was Burned to Death in Front of Her House while All of US Watched. With the level of violence The Waterfront Is Comfortable with, that definitely robin’ve been a postsibiation. Instead, the two sent to the Cane’s House Only Wanted to Scareton and Stopped the Trail of Flams before it reached her and just after it unlocked a new Nightmare Sennario for me. The assault was a message. A Crystal Clear One. And Harlan Knows Exactly Who Sent it.
Could Sheriff Clyde Proctor Be any More of A Dick? The Answer is an UNEQUIVOCAL NO. Harlan Goes to the Police Station to Confront Him for Almost Barbequing his Daughter-In-Law, and his Response is Basically, Oh, what a shame; Maybe You Should Take Time and Rethink Your Stance on this Who Meeting Grady Thing. Clyde is so adamant about keeping control over this drug-Russian partnership that he decides to walk into the buckley’s restaurant and have down with the buckley he is beginning to think is real in Charge: Belle. Again, he makes sura there is no mistaking his message: if Harlan doesn’t fall in line, he will start killing members of her family.
Like I Said, Clyde’s a Real Dick, but he’s a gravel serious one, and while it has beCome apparent that Harlan Might See gig as a permanent one, as a return to howd to be, belle (and cane) sees a means to an End. She doesn’t want to get into a pissing contest with the sheriff. She doesn’t see the reason to pick a fight with a powerful person we have just need someone Money. Is this belief that this jab could actually be temporary naive? Maybe! But that not the point right now. The point is she is a willing to sacrifice any of the family members in order to test and has the power in the situation, and she wants harland on board with that. She wants Him to go with clyde proor. She wants Him to be Clyde’s Friend. Harlan Hates This Idea.
IT TURNS OUT THAT HAVING TO AGE WITH HARL TO SEE MERTS OF KEEPING THE GUY WHO COULD KILL THEIR FAMILY HAPPY IS THE LAST STRAW FOR BELLE. I mean, this time out here letting Him sleep with sloppy chicks named rhonda and being unbelievably kind and lovely to shawwn, (one of!) Harlan’s love child. She Hands the Guy Pictures of His Mom with Her and Harlan! She Holds Shawn’s Hand and Tells Him he hasn’t done anything work. She is there for Him. She’s no Saint but she has gone above and beyond and there haveh to be a line somewhere. This is that line. And that is why, after Clyde and Harlan and the Stress and Frustration, She Texts Our Silver Fox Real Estate Developer wes to get laid. Sura, it look like she immmediately regrets it – she is so awkward with user as a trieste to leave the hotel room as fast as Possible – but get your belle! You deserts this.
She especially deserves this is becauses it is obvious that things are only going to get work for the buckleys. I know this gocause while Harlan is teling his wife that yes, he’ll try to make amends with clyde, he is also doing things like the two guys who Attacked Peyton and Holding at the Back of the Fish House a tire a tire iron to say. Cane refuses to this you, as we know, he does not want to become his fater. It ‘Honestly a Miracle Cane Has any type of moral commass wen, again, it’s his dad basically teling her a pussy if he doesn’t beat these’ faces in. It ‘s as weird parting technique, but Harlan is unorthodox.
Cane Removes Himself from Situation and Once Again Nears a Full-on Breakdown. My Guy is stressed out! And when he’s on the verge of a panic attack, where does he turn? Not to his wife, who just got violently assaulted the night before and is claiming she is fine, albeit for the stench of gasoline she can get out of the hair and the handgun sheave her living room. (This Means, of Course, She is Not Fine.) No, Insa, Cane Seeks Out Jenna at the Hardware Store. The two recognism that the dinner didn’t go great – “No, (Peyton) Totally Supports with Doing Recreational Drugs with Old Girlfries” – but they also admit that they have a friend, and the best friend they have gone. They Spend the Afternion Drinking and Talking, and Cane Gets Pretty Vulnerable; He won’t tell jenna what’s exactly going on, but his line about Bad decoctions routing part of his life except for jenna, his “one sweeet distraction,” is sort of lovely and heartbreaking do you forget about all the drag RUNNING AND PEOPLE INTO INTEMEST AND COSTERED Gasoline.
Thankfully, Cane Eventually returns to his house, where his poor wife has to spell it out for Him that, yes, of courte, she wanted him with her; She Needed Him Home with Her; He should want to be home with her. He wishes he could be better and more open. He’s trying. And thatn she sobs into his arms, finally.
Add Cane to the List of Buckleys Who Have Yes to Realie Things are Going to Get Much, Much Wors than this Current Low. Fortunately… unfortunately (?) That is on it on its way thanks to Harlan’s Next Move. Good on Him; He does actually want to make good on his promise to belle to smooths over with clyde. He Heads Over to Clyde’s Garage, Where He’s Still Working on One of His Cars, and Makes a Peace Offering by Way of a Drink. Of Course, it doesn’t take long for clyde to the figure that the “Peace offering” is a pretense: Harlan has an idea, a deal he really thinks should hear about. He thinks clyde should introdes Him to grady and let Harlan organize all the runs from here on out. Harlan Has Experience, and Is Better for Everyone If Clyde Keeps Hands Clean. He promises that the cut clyde is getting now will will stay the Same. It ‘laughable that Harlan actually brings this bullshit deal to clyde, who is as hungry for power and control as Harlan is, and the sheriff knows it. I mean, no one is laughing Becausee this is a very serious show – has any character laughed ico yet? – But of Certainly was. These dummies.
Things in the garage escalate. Clyde Pulls a Gun on Harlan. They Wind up wrestling on the floor, reaching for the gun. Clyde Grabs It and is About to Turn it on Harlan Harlan… Uh, Well, He Sort of Takes a Screwdriver and Stabs it Through Clyde’s JAW and Up I Nose. Maybe it’s a you had had to be sort of thing but it is so, so gross. And clyde dies instantly. Oh, and then Harlan Starts to Have Another Cardiac Incident. SO, THAT WHOE THING ABOUT THE BUCKLEYS Realizing That Things Can and Will and Are Getting Worsse and More Dangerous for say? That’s Happening right now.
• BREE HELPS Marcus Get on the Second Boat Cane and Harlan Are Using for Runs, and he’s able to make a copy of the GPS log, but i still not Enough evidience to convince his to keep the investigation going. Some of that is, Yes, the Lack of Real Evidance Against Cane, but some of it is that his boss doesn’t trust him he is so fresh out of rehab. Marcus Will Have to Leave Town if there’s no break in the case, and he’s also dyso to shoot up. SEEMS LIKE A MESSY SITUATION FOR NEWLY SOBER BREE TO BE MIXED UP IN!
• Oh, Dear Lord, Bree is flirting with shawwn. It”s going to be so funny she finds out he’s her brother.
• is wes too good to be true? He must be up to somethingright?
• Apparently, Jenna’s Husband Scott has Left Town Already Becausee He’s “Not Good Around Sick People” and doesn’t want to be arund jenna’s dying dad. SO, UH, Scott sucksand i’m sorry to say it but i cannot woit unil she cheats on Him with Cane.
