But then they did great inthe season finaleand ruined the whole bit.
So, a pivot is required.
Welcome to the first and possibly onlySlow Horses, uh … Well, this is awkward.
For me, I mean.
Claude is still a boob.
The Dogs are still relentlessly unable to capture and secure high-value targets.
Roddy still does Roddy stuff.
But other than that, from the top on down, theSlow Horsesdid great.
Again, its awkward.
Thats … its probably a lot to wrap your head around.
Other stuff happened, too.
Some of it was very sad.
Well get to that, though.
What a fun and heartbreaking and exciting show.

I am very sad for Shirley.
I dont want to talk about it yet.
Im kind of proud of her.
But mostly sad for her.
Im still not ready to talk about it.

I love this awful little creepo.
8.Louisa
- to a child who is misbehaving in public.
7.Catherine

I think Catherine is back now.
Moiras back at the Park.
Catherine was bossing people around in the office again like she was running the place.
(Look in that drawer!
Put the bullets in the gun!
You know, office stuff.)
Im not sure anyone else will want to work there given, like, everything.
Lets just call it: Catherine is back.

Im not sure I can explain it.
Like I said, its weird.
5.Frank Harkness

And then theres the thing where the warrior children are now dead.
The main takeaway here is that more shows should feature Hugo Weaving as a villain for an entire season.
Looking at you,Doctor Odyssey.
4.Marcus
4.
I am sad about Marcus.
He had problems, sure.
His gambling addiction led to lots of bad choices.
He got a little too excited about getting into firefights.
But still, man …
This show will do that, though.
Itll give you laughs and thrills and also rip your heart out a little bit.
Im worried about Shirley.
3.Moira the New/Old Office Manager
3.
Got her job back.
Only has to work four days a week.
Has her boss petrified because she can ruin his career and life any time she wants.
Moira is living the dream.
I am so proud of her.
2.Jackson

Jackson sure does walk into rooms with dead bodies a lot.
He walked into Bad Sams secret room and saw his dead body.
He walked into Slough House and saw Marcuss dead body.
Not so much with Jackson, though.
Hes mostly just glad there are fewer people around to bother him.
Its a decent joke but its not true.
He cares more than he wants anyone to know.
He was sad about Sam if only because its one less salty old crank to swap war stories with.
He was sad about Marcus and tried to protect Shirley a little by telling her not to go look.
That moment at the end with River was almost sweet.
If hes not careful, someone might attempt to hug him soon.
1.River
1.
Well well well, look at Mr.
Suddenly Pretty Good at His Job.
He sniffed out the Frank fatherhood business.
He only had one live grenade shoved into his hoodie.
This is a little something we call progress.
There was also the personal stuff.
The decision to put his grandfather in a facility that can care for him must have been wrenching.
Learning his real father is a world class scoundrel and creep probably was not very fun.
Its what made the scene at the very end so touching, though.
Between this and the death of Marcus, Im glad well have a break before the show is back.
My emotions couldnt handle a new episode next week.
