They talk during their stakeout, and Garrett is uncharacteristically kind and supportive of Alison.
He also tries to protect her when they see Tom come out of Jennifers house.
What a good big bro!
Score another point for Garrett.
Alison isnt having any of this bullsh-t with Tom and later confronts him with the ultimate WTF?
Tom says hell end the relationship, especially since Alison dutifully ended things with Naomi.
In the Hawthorne kitchen, she explains to Garrett that the MAOA gene can cause more aggressive behavior.
In other words, its known as a psychopath gene.
What a good big bro, again!
The next time they see Jennifer on the news (does this woman work a 24-hour shift?
), shes reporting that Tessa is pregnant and worried about the MAOA.
How did she even manage to get inside?
(This is now the second couple thats had sex in this pantry.
Remember Tessa and Brady?
Does this mean we could be seeing another baby on the way?
Sounds like its a very fertile pantry.)
She instructs Jennifer to report only positive news on the family from now on, or shell be back.
Then, in the power move of the century, Alison demands Jennifer take off her shirt.
They bond while playing foosball, at which point Sophie comes to visit Cam and is visibly jealous.
Sophie tells Cam shes also considering rehab, and perhaps they can both start over and get healthy.
Good for you, Cam!
But, Im sorry, where does your child fit into all of this?
Which brings us to Brady.
She claims to know nothing about the car, the Hawthornes, or SBK.
Cutter insists they need to keep combing through Mitchell Hawthornes life to find the accomplice.
Apparently, Mrs. Camby knows more than she was willing to admit.
Who could have shot a poor old woman?
It seems that maybe Brady and Cutter were on to something.
Back at Brady and Tessas house, Jack has been kicked out of camp.
(Wow, that was fast.
What a shocking turn of events, the audience collectively sighs.)
If youre keeping score, thats going to be a -4 for Garrett.
In the final scene of the episode, Alison, Madeline, and Garrett are having a drink.
They toast to Garretts return and how hes being such a great brother and son.
-10 points for Garrett.
Will we ever be able to trust Garrett, or is he really as sinister as weve always assumed?
Will April be able to save Cam?
Will Jack find Sadie again, and run away with her to crush bugs together forever?
Maybe well find out next week!
(Probably not, though.)
8 Honorable Mentions
Who Actually Dun It?
I give up, people.
I refuse to buy the implication that Garrett is SBK, even though were continually pointed in that direction.
But then, whos the real SBK?
There are so many questions we need answers to, Ive completely lost track.
