Its terrifying in a number of ways, starting from the circumstances.
John is asleep and vulnerable on the couch, with the door and windows accessible to intruders.
First, a tall man in a black morph suit appears, closely following Sally around the room.
We can only imagine what hes getting ready to do off-screen.
Only a few seconds later, he has driven away.
But what most interests me about this sequence is that theres really no in-universe explanation for it.
Its not a hallucination, but the logic isnt necessarily meant to be puzzled over.
Really, every scene of the Fuches/NoHo Hank subplot has laugh-out-loud moments.
And Hank has built an empire out of sand, the crime utopia he always envisioned.
Theres even a golden Cristobal statue in the lobby of the enormous offices.
Facing that fallacy is enough to make him stop the deal and kick everyone out.
Fuches and Hank are always reliably funny, even when theyre at their worst.
Shes entirely correct in her suggestion that Barry just wants revenge for Gene turning him in.
He wants the agency to tell his own narrative, even though he doesnt deserve it.
But Sally clearly gets in Barrys head, especially with her remark about how killing is a sin.
Most agree that murder is pretty much a no-no, though there were sanctioned killings in the Old Testament.
Its all Barry needs to grab his gun and head for Leos house until he sees Leos son.
But of course thats yet another reflection of Genes misplaced priorities.
Not even Leo believes him.
With two episodes to go, its time for Barry to learn that nobody owes him anything anymore.
He relinquished the right to tell this story a long time ago.
Each ooh and aah from Fuchess men seeing their new home made me laugh more than the last.
Theres no real reason to rank sins.
You cant say this ones worse than that one.
Thats not really how it works.
Unless youre talking about murder, of course.
Murder is by far the worst.
Barry easily buys a gun from a department store (another dystopian eight-years-later escalation?
), though hes required to briefly look at some grisly images of gunshot wounds before he can purchase.
Not a problem for him!
Also, is that the same store we saw last season?
The DA would like to see you.
Take two bites of that salad and come with me.
