There’s coke, neon lights, sunny beaches, weed, robberies, violence, and Ellen Barkin.
What more could you ask for?
It’s obvious he’s been here before, though this time is different.

The boy is Josh, a.k.a.
“J,” and this time his mom, Julia, doesn’t recover.
Smurf comes to pick up her grandson, and smuggles away some drugs while she’s at it.
J doesn’t tell him his Mom died, but he doesn’t pay him either.
It’s a small moment, but one that leads to a bigger turning point later in the episode.
There’s a pool, nice cars, plenty of TVs, and money lying around the house.
As it turns out, J’s extended family are a bunch of criminals, mostly running robbery jobs.
Smurf’s in charge and her boys do the grunt work.
They don’t know a thing about J and aren’t sure if they can trust him.
J is clearly reluctant, but what choice does he have?
Back at home, J discovers the room he’s staying in isn’t exactly his.
He’s back home now and not entirely excited to see J in his room.
The feeling seems mutual.
Back at home, Pope convinces Baz he needs to have something to do with the next job.
With that out of the way, the rest of the boys execute the job.
They make off with a ton of expensive watches, but the getaway isn’t so smooth.
That forces Deran, Smurf’s youngest son, to try and drive around them.
This is the world J has been forced into.
The boys find out one by one.
There’sjust a bitof toxic masculinity running through this family.
Back at home, all the Codys gather for a family meeting.
Back at home, J finds that Pope has completely tossed his room.
None of this bodes well for J.
Back at the yard, Craig and Deran are having very little luck breaking down the Range Rover.
Craig is basically dying on the spot, and Deran is just sick of the work.
That’s the thing: Secrets abound in this family.
It looks like Baz is secretly taking care of his dad, though that’s not exactly confirmed.
