Baz is frantic, roaming around the house and trying to come up with a plan to find her.
Smurf is basically in charge of keeping everyone cool right now.
And, of course, there’s Pope, trying his best to keep it together after killing Catherine.
The thing is, explaining away Catherine’s absence to Baz isn’t so easy.
He doesn’t believe she’d just up and leave without Lena.
So, Smurf comes up with a plan that will hopefully benefit everyone.
Pope, seeing this, can only play along.
Meanwhile, back at the Cody house, Smurf hasanotherproblem to deal with.
Paul shows up at the doorSmurf can barely conceal her disdain for this man’s stupidityand starts making demands.
Apparently, his new life of crime has emboldened him.
While Pope listens, Baz beats the hell out of Vin as he’s tied to a chair.
Eventually, the driver pulls over and checks the back, which is leaking fluid.
Craig and Deran stuff him in a barrel"Don’t worry, they’ll find you!"
they sayand snag the money, unhitching the trailer and taking off with the truck.
They got to him, and the family needs to hide the money.
He does come back, though, and when Yates goes to arrest him, he drops a bomb.
He recorded his conversation with Alexa, the one that implicates Yates in blackmailing her to sleep with him.
Clearly, J seems to be a real part of the Cody family now.
Smurf even understands that.
She tells him if he stays smart, he could go a long way in the family.
She then gives him a gun as a present, because the Cody family is forever messed up.
“A man should have a gun,” Smurf tells him.
He criticizes her for always using him and manipulating him, getting him to do all her dirty work.
“But what about me?”
he says, all pain behind his eyes.
It’s a heartbreaking moment that will surely reverberate throughout season 2.
We see Yates arresting Alexa as J watches from the street.
And finally, we see the whole Cody family lingering by the pool.
He runs his hand over the gun Smurf gave him.
Maybe, just maybe, he’s not as all-in with the family as we think.
We’ll have to wait for season 2 to find out.
