The Shield -- "Animal Control" -- 10/7/08

Photobucket

Synopsis:

Spoiler:


Vic and Ronnie set up a Mexican-Armenian meeting but tell the two sides different things and keep some pertinent details from Shane; Shane and former Strike Team adversary Tavon Garris (Brian White) team up uneasily as a six-year-old murder case heats up; Ronnie gets a warning from Claudette about Vic's freelancing; and a naked sleepwalker (Scott Michael Campbell) is found in a warehouse with blood on his body that isn't his own.

I wonder how Tavon is going to stir up the pot even worse for the Strike Team.

Sweet - they're playing my favorite band during the Shane/Mara scene at the end- Porcupine Tree! Never expected to hear a British prog-rock band on the Shield.

Good episode that continued the positive momentum from last week. Definitely starting to pick up steam now.

Same here - I had to turn up the volume to make sure I wasn't hearing it wrong. I wonder who's a fan.

Anyone else who's interested, the song was "My Ashes" from the album Fear Of A Blank Planet. I guess Mara can feel rejected from society at times.

They should have shown what happened to Tevon in the "Previously on" segment, but all in all it was a great episode.

Wow, never expected to see Tavon back.

And Vic & Ronnie finally go for their revenge, been waiting for that.

Shane should just leave town at this point. Of course, that's not what he is going to do. He and Vic have to dance.

I'm interested to see where this Tavon thing is going. Of course, he may be done for the series now. Who knows?

i hate when they do that - as it clues you in IMMEDIATELY that he'd be on the show

You're right, but not everybody has a photographic memory to recall what happened to a character who hasn't been on in several seasons.

Their lack of focus should not cause a spoiled surprise on my behalf.

Awesome episode. That ending was killer. Can't wait for this to play out.

So Shane knows they tried to kill him, and they know he's got the $100K. Can't wait to see where this goes next.

Not sure if Tavon will be back or not, but I did love Shane telling him "Sometimes it's just too late to say you're sorry."

Do they? For all they know, the Mexicans snatched it.

You're right--they might not know, but the way Ronnie said "I don't see any money" with Shane there made me think they'll have their suspicions and figure it out (eventually). Also, if Shane got his cell phone back he would be able to see that Vic was trying to call him pre-assassination attempt, but I doubt that'll matter.

Exactly I was just waiting for Shane to check his phone, and calm down a bit, but oh well.

Also I need a refresher on the 100K. Was that Shanes cut of the money train, or what?

The 100K was the money the Armenians brought to purchase the blackmail box.

I don't think it matters whether or not Shane realizes Vic was calling him before the massacre. The fact is, Vic decided to kill him. Vic had been lying to him all along about forgiveness, and plotting the entire time the best way to get rid of him. Even if he thinks Vic had a change of heart he knows they will never trust each other. Now the only thing that matters is where he goes with this. If he's smart he says to Vic, "I know what you tried to do, but I will not respond. I'm leaving with Mara. Have a nice life."

That doesn't make a show though. We'll see what he does.

I liked how Tavon came into the clubhouse the exact way he did in Season 3 with the "Am I interrupting something?" I also think that it's interesting that Shane tells Mara everything and Vic tells Corrine nothing. It's gonna catch up with them both.
