(I think were all pretty solid on reconnaissance.)

takes the exact opposite approach.

You want to know what the acronym stands for?

Google it yourselves, kids.

Were on episode 6 now.

Youre either in or youre out.

Their trains leave the station without them.

They all miss their flights.

He fires Mona for no good reason.

Again, he repeats.

Theyre all doubled over.

He smashes a chair.

He takes away their music, keeping time with the cold metal pieces of the chair that he smashed.

By the time Paul is done, hes left more than a few of them in tears.

This is whatFlesh and Boneshould be doing more of.

Her life back in Pittsburgh (Steeltown?

Right now, thats Bryan.

In this house, Claire and Bryan have the support of no one but each other.

Claire accuses him of sending Bryan to war in the hopes that hed be killed.

Youre not on Kiiras drugs: Claire actually did have Bryans baby.

That clears up the family issue that kept her out of the spotlight for a couple of years.

They have sex; I just keep trying to remind myself that the actors arent related.

Claire stuffs the hospital bracelet in her fathers mouth and bounces.

Thats one way to make an exit.

Did he really manipulate everyone into missing their flights so theyd have no choice but to celebrate with him?

That shouldnt surprise me at this point, but it does.

His fake surprised face isnt even all that good.

The dancers are much better at faking a good time than Paul is at faking surprise.

Paul cant go five minutes without asserting his control over everyone.

Now would be a great time for him to remember that big speech about the whistleblower protection act.

Ross would probably have some choice words for that whole display, but hes already long gone.

Apparently desperate to win back Pauls approval (because hes seen how well that goes for everyone else?

), Ross helps himself to some of Kiiras coke and then all but offers himself to his director.

Paul shuts him down.

Or Kiira, who doesnt even have to try.

She actually goes off on a rant about deer.

If only a small child werent upstairs drinking a full glass of wine in the corner of someones bedroom.

If only Kiira didnt find him, wink, and leave him to his devices.

Someone needs to intervene here.

In another game of good news/ bad news, Mia gets the bad kind from her doctor.

By the time Claire gets home, she finds her roommate being wheeled into an ambulance on a stretcher.

The bathtub is full of blood.

Paul is going to find some way to make this about him, isnt he?
