Oh no, Becka killed Minna, didnt she?
Eva embraces her, still in shock at the revelation and what it could mean for her baby sister.
Were meant to leave this episode with a sense of unresolved dread.
We also know Minna has not shown up in the present-day, post-JP timeline.
If Minna were still alive, Becka would be taking care of her, right?
Their connection makes the possibility that Becka may have accidentally killed Minna even more horrific.
JP argues that he saw her just that very night, but George isnt having any of it.
Its not enough for him.
Hed rather JP know that he could easily help him, and he chose not to.
I guess he learned from the worst?
Like JP, George understands emotions maybe too well.
But that knowledge is a weapon to be wielded against JP, not a reason to comfort his son.
Always the protected, never the protector.
For the person she gets to be in that story.
In falsely reporting Roger to the police for pedophilia, JP has effectively ostracized Roger from the community.
Someone (maybe JP?)
Meanwhile, at work, JPs attempts to sabotage Evas bid for the promotion are successful.
He gets the job and wastes no time in lording his new power over both Eva and Gabriel.
When Gabriel confronts JP about his bullying in the bathroom, JP is absolutely vile.
He punches him and leaves the office.
These two have been one anothers lifelines recently.
When Eva follows him out of the office after the bathroom incident, Gabriel is furious.
Because Evadidtell her sisters and, in this moment when Gabriel is angry and in pain its enough.
Both want to be the head of this family.
And JP thinks he deserves it because he is a white man.
She doesnt give Becka a chance to explain that she is falling in love.
Did you sleep with every other man this side of the city?
Its the kind of move George or JP might make.
Eva is so much better at love than either of those men, but sometimes shes not.
Sometimes, she falls into the trap of using the social power shes been given in selfish ways.
The harder she tries, the more Becka struggles.
Eva may not see that Becka is in love, but Theresa sees that Matt is.
And to be fair, it would be bad.
Matt is doing everything he possibly can to keep Tom safe from his own anxiety, from prison.
Again and again, weve seen him prioritize his brothers needs over his own.
But Tom isntincapableof emotional intelligence or empathy.
He may be slow about it, but hes been given the pieces.
I am too but, for the record, I would like to find out the latter sometime soon.
Sisterly Advice
So JP didnttechnicallykill his dad, but he didnt reallynotkill his dad either.
This episode has a subtle two-day time jump in the present-day storyline that I found oddly jarring.
We get a few different shots of Blanaid listening to her parents conversations.
I continue to wonder what she thinks of her father.
Perhaps that will change in the next two episodes?
Are you deliberately trying to find holes in my plan?
As Eva points out, with every failed attempt, this gets more dangerous.
Okay, theWhat We Do in the Shadowssongcoming in at the end of this episode really threw me.
TV shows should not be allowed to use other TV shows theme songs.
