I wonder if HBOs lawyers swooped in on dragons and threatened to behead chastised them.)
Brian has to rely on his extensive medical knowledge a.k.a.
And they sayGame of Thronesis gory.
The show illustrates Sands story in the way Brian envisions it:as a comic book.
Sands grew up in Kent as wild child member of a punk band, joining in with mining protests.
So began Sands espionage career, which led him to MI-6.
When they got caught, they blamed it on Tanner, whos spent the last seven years in jail.
Now that hes out, hes blackmailing Sands into killing off his former team members ending with Sands himself.
Thats why Sands teamed up with the others to turn on Tanner and send him to prison.
(More on that later.)
That includes Tanner, which leads them to a warehouse in Queens.
There, Sands presumably breaks his no-killing promise and dispatches Tanner, rescuing Henry.
(Theres also a great C-plot with Ike and Rachel hooking up in Brians apartment.
Theyre great together, and I hope this relationship continues and continues to freak out Brian.)
She even manages to crack this case with her birthday hanging over her.
And finally, we know how and why.
So this episode leaves us in a tricky place with Sands.
And then it drops the bombshell that hes responsible for the cold-blooded murder of Rebeccas father.
