Why don't you feel like watching it?

You can also DVR the 3-minute recap episode that airs on Saturday night if your too lazy to watch.

Very good episode.

Loved seeing Tavon (Brian White) back on the show. Hopefully he has a few more guest appearances.

Does anyone think the scenes with Cathy Cahlin Ryan suck the life out of the episode. I am actually surprised that Shawn Ryan has his writers make Corrine such a miserable hag. She has aged so much since season 1.

While it's a huge change in the usual pace of the show, I'd hardly call it unexpected. Given that she's pretty much been raising two autistic children and one crazy teenage one by herself, had Kavanaugh torment her, slowly realize that her husband really might be as corrupt as everybody's saying, been kidnapped by Shane, etc, it makes sense that it might finally be starting to wear on her.

Another great episode! Everything seems to get heated up a little bit more every episode. One thing I didn't get:

Spoiler:
So the gun that shane used got jammed from Ronnie. What was it that they stuck in there to get it jammed?

Looked like CRAZY GLUE.

I thought he was messing around with the firing pin assembly. I'll have to rewatch it.

That's what it seemed like to me, too.

What I really liked about the whole thing was how they set up that Shane would know that his gun was tampered with: they showed him cleaning it earlier in the episode. I imagine that whatever Ronnie did to it looked like normal wear and tear, but since Shane was going over his gun earlier that day, he would know that whatever was wrong with it wasn't there that morning.

Great episode. I still absolutely love how Mara keeps effing everything up for the Strike Team. If she hadn't called Shane to pick up the prescription, Vic might have been able to warn Shane and repair their relationship. Another great part was Ronnie pleading complete ignorance in the car to Vic's manufactured conversation.

Great performance by Walter Goggins at the end. I couldn't tell if Shane was more in shock from nearly being killed or disappointed the Vic and Ronnie see him as an idiot.
