Entertaining, but there were way too many last-second contrivances.

Connor: Sydney, that girl I met at the Internet party. She's a prostitute, isn't she?

Mick: She sure is, son.

Connor: You think I still have a shot with her?

Mick: You're a romantic. Like me. Con, ...you're a man now. I'm going to give you some advice. It's good advice. Stay away from sex workers 'till you're older.

-----------------

LOL...this show just keeps on delivering. Top notch writing.

Yes. Ray makes it just in time to get rid of the poker, then makes it in time to stop and convince Paige, and then dumps the body/poker and sets in on fire with enough time to leave before the cops get there.

I don't get how Mickey outsmarted Ray. It's obviously easy to explain to everyone that the sickness was fake for legal reasons, so all Mickey had was telling everyone that Ray tricked him into signing away his rights. Why didn't Mickey just threaten him with that in the first place instead and forget about the sickness angle? And I really don't see how they'd be that upset over tricking him - since Mickey keeps screwing things up for Bunchy and Daryll anyway. The only person who'd be upset is Conor, and he already knows his father hates Mickey.

So Conor was whining about how his Dad never talks to him or shares with the day after his Dad took him to the football stadium site. And the last time he spent time with Mickey he was also blown up in large part b/c of Mickey's carelessness. Moron.

Of course. That's what I like about a show like this, or Shield, Sopranos, etc.

I know Ray isnt going to get caught. But I want to see how he is getting out of it.

I liked this ep better than thenlastbfew, probably because Cochran storyline ran its course
