Judy has to get her follow-up scans that day and they will determine the course of her life. She does not take the call and even ditches the “treatment” after being stuck in the head with a pin by Kalina. Perez takes Jen outside and calms her down. She says that Ben will be out in no time on bail and that Jen needs to be on her toes as the FBI found DNA on Steve’s body.
At the open house, we see Karen breaking down in front of Jen but she authoritatively shoos her away, while trying to hide her pregnancy. Jen talks about giving herself up and maybe killing Moranis to let Judy off the hook. While she talks about a vacation, Jen talks about responsibilities. At the open house, we see Karen breaking down in front of Jen but she authoritatively shoos her away, while trying to hide her pregnancy.
Jen and Moranis meet while Jen is working on her thesis. Moranis is interested in buying the house, and Jen suspects that he has hidden his intentions. It turns out that he is actually interested in buying the house, and Judy helps to cover for him with Karen. Jeff gets involved, and they all agree to keep the story a secret. Because they covered for him with Karen, he agrees.
The next move is to go to Karen’s and clear the cloud so that there is no evidence left. They manage to do so and even take away her hard disk which has a backup. Jen scolds Judy for not following up with the scans and Judy admits she is scared they will not turn out to be good. Jen calms her down and even signs her up for a clinical trial for an experimental drug at a place. Judy does not know about this.
Karen shows up late at night and says she found something upsetting in the footage. To Jen’s absolute horror, it is agent Moranis taking out some of Jen’s trash, possibly to test her DNA against the one found on Steve’s body. The next morning, Judy goes for her scans and Jen shows up at Moranis’ motel with scones. Will she kill him?
The Episode Review
The episode felt rushed and like the writers were just getting this one over with. Story-wise, this season has been light on the introduction of external elements but more on constructing those already defining it. Most prominently, the Jen & Jude vibe has been dominant, and understandably so.
Agent Moranis, a fox in hiding, has been able to procure Jen’s DNA and prove his MVP billing. It is unfair that he does not get enough minutes in the show. He could have been more effective in a full-blown characterization.
The important takeaway from this episode is that Judy might still have hope of a recovery, and Jen’s lies are catching up to her.
The underlying intention of the group is to survive and stick together. Jen is unlikely to act on her words of “poisoning” Moranis, as she surely can’t. ..
