Reality, as usual, is less fun: Roy Gilbert tells him to pull his you-know-what together.

His manner is menacing, but his soft voice is very soothing.

Id listen to him!

Bloodline Recap: Season 3 Episode 2

He tells this guy everything and goes through the crime step by horrifying dolphin-bashing step.

Then he admits the embarrassing truth that he peed his pants.

Quiet Goon sort of sighs, as he realizes thats too much DNA for even him to deal with.

He asks Kevin where the telltale dolphin weapon is either to destroy it or plant on someone.

He sends Kevin out to get it back.

But before all that, they realize that one Eric ODirtbag has been calling Marco all night.

(We know why, of course: Eric OD was looking to spill all the Rayburn beans.)

Id like to complain that this is a little bit on the nose, but you know what?

(I also love Norbert Leo Butz.

So, so much.)

Patterns, as weve learned on this show, are awfully hard to break.

After young Sissy tries to be playful and steal his phone, the decision is made.

He tells Kevin not to do anything, and to stay put.Stay put, he says.

John, dont you know anything at all at this point?

Were talking about Kevin here!

John then gets off the bus, and kisses the fun of a new life goodbye.

A cop is waiting for him to take him home.

Kevin, duh, is not staying put, and he goes back to the scene of the crime.

He tells Quiet Goon that he thinks they should wait til John is back.

Q Goon is skeptical.

I mean, I see this guys point time is ticking, bodies are rotting.

He also starts brainstorming people to frame like Meg, for a hot second.

Kevin is not so far gone to sign on to that plan.

And thats when they come up with the master plan to frame Eric OBannon.

This is what you call a completist vision, as it will sell Kevin interrupting Marcos murder.

Kevin begs to wait.

Speaking of Eric, hes fighting with Chelsea over money.

He is frantic and telling her that he didnt do a thing, etc.

He tells her not to believe what they tell her.

She tells him she needs it and hes like, Sorry, Im out.

This is bad, yet I still feel for my little raccoon of a man.

Those Rayburns are going down!

Ozzy, whose face looks like a Jackson Pollock painting at this point, just wants a slushie.

Does it shock you that Kevin moves?

He ends up getting shot in two places, including in the gut, which seems bad.

Kevin starts to pass out while Quiet Goon tries to get him to call 911.

Kevin is not looking good.

Not good at all.

He doesnt have to act shocked.

Sheriff Aguirre, our old enemy from last season, comes out and tells John whats up.

John looks nuts, and even Aguirre is like, Listen, well get this guy together.

John goes inside and sees Marcos smushed head and the pile of blood where his brother lay.

Aguirre is like, Maybe we should be worried aboutyourfamily.

Maybe you are being targeted.

Oh, if you only knew…

But wait, look who else is wishing him well on Kevins health!

Its our quiet mystery goon!

And he turns out to be the county coroner.

Diana wakes up and finds a cop at her door.

Everyone yells at John for answers.

He goes to Megs to find her in a legit blackout pass-out, and she cant be roused.

Sally calls and screams at Roys voice mail.

She then talks to John and tells him that Roy has vanished.

John is all out of sympathy, and Im guessing that bus is looking real good.

She tells him,I know everything.

I dont want to hear excuses or ask me to forgive you.

She wants one thing: for him to find out who shot Kevin.

John cant look her in the eye, but he asks her what exactly Roy told her.

He quickly figures out this whole shooting thing is probably a frame job.

Before they get too much further along, Belle calls from the hospital, and Kevin is awake.

John stands at his bedside and begs Kevin to say he doesnt remember who shot him.

John needs time to figure something out for Kevin.

The wheels of this you-know-what-show are most definitely rolling.
