Just when I thought the love triangle may have come to an end, it reappeared at the end of the episode to really surprise me.

This week, Mary dropped her sister, Brandi, off at the airport but it was all a trick. Brandi’s rather sneaky, much more so than I thought. She stashed a load of meth in a suitcase and hid it in her room at Mary’s and was back with her boyfriend, preparing to sell it.

That story turned out to be rather interesting. I wasn’t sure how Brandi was going to handle all of that. She doesn’t seem to fit in with the drug-selling and drug-using crowds. I really liked seeing her turn in that couple. Leaving a baby in the tub wasn’t the wisest thing to do, but it allowed for the only really emotional scene featuring Brandi in this season so far.

Mary McCormack as Mary Shannon and Frederick Weller as Marshall Mann

The plot for this episode focused on two protectees Mary and Marshall are supposed to take care of. One can only imagine the trouble protectees can be sometimes, but Mary and Marshall were really taken aback when their protectees met one another and fell in love.

We met Tasha Turischeva a while back and I was hoping she’d come back in an episode. Angela Sarafyan does a nice job of playing an innocent young woman here. Sure, she didn’t seem to innocent when she was making out with the scheming Russian, Serge. Serge’s explanation for how he paid for his electronics seemed too good to be true. He’s a criminal, so I knew he had an angle somewhere.

Again, the love triangle, which I thought was over, returned at the end. I wouldn’t want to be in the shoes of any of those three.
