This was an excellent episode!

No kidding around.

The character beats. The plot itself was good. Even the ending when Colter refused to socialize.

Every single second was filled with an interest.

I loved how Bobby explained how they met. How he doesn’t like to be in debt to people. He settles his debts right then and there. There are no favors to be sought after later.

I really like too.

I feel like favors can be very vague. Not to mention, I get the sense from Bobby that he had those types of favors lingering around before and knows how badly they can go. Someone cashes in a favor and then police are on your doorstep or angry guy with a bat.

Either way, Bobby has decided not to do that again.

And I love that Colter accepted that answer.

Done. They owe each other nothing.

Colter came because a friend asked for his help to find a missing friend. He showed up and Bobby even managed to save his ass.

I loved the subversion there too.

I honestly thought Bobby was going to make the situation worse. But he helped. I loved that little twist. And the part where Colter thanks him for the help too. He was honestly happy that Bobby didn’t listen to him and got out of the car.

If it wasn’t for Bobby, he might not be there at the end.

It was a good moment.

I also loved Reenie and Bobby just accepting that Colter is who he is and he’s not prone to stepping outside his comfort zone.

There’s a lot about him they don’t know.

But what they do know is that when they call him, he shows up and does what he says he will.

So they do the same.

Their conversation where they discuss Colter’s past and realize he would hate the conversation so they stop talking was good too. They tried their best to respect his boundaries, even though they’re both dying of curiosity.

They try to invite him out to join them and get to know him better.

But ultimately, Colter refuses and carries on with his wayward journey.

Colter seemed touched that they wanted to spend more time with him though.

And that Bobby cared enough to risk his neck to go in there after him.

These friendships are interesting to me because they’re not quite friendships. They work together. They see each other during the worst of times when people are missing. But if any of them call, they all show up like they care about more than money.

It’s a work friendship at it’s finest.

Because none of them really spend time together when they’re not working.

And it’s interesting to me.

Because it’s kind of normal.

I don’t hang out with everyone I work with. It happens.

But also, I don’t have these life and death situations, so their dynamic is still a bit closer than regular coworkers.

The plot of this episode was solid.

I did clock the gym owner right away as having something to do with it. And the boxer at the beginning as totally innocent.

It’s a very routine story telling process. But I don’t care.

Because Bobby and his friend made for compelling characters. The mom. Bobby’s relationship to the mother. Same with Colter. Then adding in Reenie as honest people who just wanted to help.

Putting a fake lawyer out of business.

Who claims everything bad that happened wasn’t somehow directly his fault.

It was.

And he paid in the end.

So did the money sharks and the awful fight ring without rules.

Overall, the plot was good. It was solid, made excellent by compelling characters moments and the heroes successfully rescuing them and managing to get their status in the country fixed. I love how Reenie handles the red tape for Colter’s clients.

It’s not really his thing. He can’t navigate it, but he gets some who damn well can, and will go to the mat for them.

I love how Reenie is always willing to help.

And work sort of for free.

I assume she’s just paid through Colter like always.

I love that they don’t put a burden on their clients if they can help it.

I like this show and I’m interested to see what happens with the folder that made a reappearance this episode. I’m really excited that this show isn’t shoving that plot into our faces every episode. They made it clear it’s lingering in the background, didn’t mention it for a while, but it’s still lurking in the shadows.

I love that type of storytelling.

I don’t need borderline obsessiveness with every plot.

Thank you!
