Wolf and Cub- Thank you so much for another great episode and reaction, Jay! I enjoy this episode a lot, and how Darren originally starts out to be the perpetrator. I'm glad that Reese forges a bond with the kid as he tries to teach him that revenge is never the way to solve a problem and that if he keeps going down his current path, he'll only wind up in prison, or dead. I understand Darren's drive for wanting to see his brother's killers dead, but I can't help feel Darren annoys me a bit throughout this episode too because he constantly keeps going off on his own against Reese's warnings about what will happen to him if he keeps walking down the path he's going down. He would have gotten himself killed over and over were it not for Reese and Fusco saving him every time. Nonetheless... I still like his character overall. And I appreciate that he chooses not to kill the bad guys in the end, showing us that Reese's words really did get through to him. Darren is a solid kid by the end. Now, in regards to Brick being foolish enough to wear the brother's hat out in the open... Brick is certainly foolish, but he isn't stupid. And I say this because most everyone who lives in this city, especially the street thugs and the criminals, all know that a majority of the cops in the city are corrupt and dirty too. Darren says this to Reese, and Brick works for Andre, who in turn works for HR, the group of dirty cops. The old white haired corrupt cop is one of HR's leaders. So, Brick and the rest of his gang, as well as all the criminals and thugs all walk around believing themselves to be untouchable. And sadly, they're right. Because they all know which cops to turn to for help. Which is why Brick feels so confident to be able to walk around the city without any kind of reprisals, when the person he steals from was merely a good kid who simply tried to stand up for a girl he liked when she was being harassed. He wasn't a threat, and therefore there were no real reprisals from killing him because he wasn't involved with anyone corrupt. Thankfully, Reese is around to put a stop to those cocky enough to believe they're untouchable. And few know about him. The cops all only know about the "Man in the Suit". Next... I also absolutely love the moments between Reese and Darren, when Darren talks about how Reese is like a Ronin warrior... someone who parted ways from his former employers upon being betrayed by them, and who now fights to protect the innocent from harm. It's absolutely true. We've now learned that Reese had been lied to about who he had been sent to kill, and that he had killed both bad people and innocent people as well, which we know Reese deeply regrets. And you can certainly see so in his eyes. Short of Reese carrying a samurai sword as his weapon of choice... he is a Ronin warrior, and I love it! Also... I really love that Darren hires Reese to fight for him, then how Reese accepts only a quarter for payment. And I appreciate the moment when Darren first attempts to hire Reese, as we see him become hurt when he thinks that Darren believes him to be a mercenary. Reese's life is so sad. We know he believes himself to be a monster even though he's far from being such, and it always hurts him when others think of him as such too. This shows us just how good of a man Reese truly is. I really like Carter and especially Fusco a lot in this episode too. I feel this is the first episode where Reese and Fusco come to a better understanding between one another. And Reese is starting to consider Fusco as more of a friend than he ever used to. Reese even admits to Darren in front of Fusco that he does consider him a friend. In regards to the corrupt police Captain... Yes, you have seen him before. Like you remembered, he appeared back in the episode... Get Carter. He is one of the Captains working within HR, the corrupt police force, who had hired Elias in that episode to have Carter killed. Nice memory. The storyline with Finch, Nathan's son Will, and the woman Will spoke to... Alicia Corwin, is very intriguing. Especially once Alicia suddenly gets spooked upon Will's mention of his father's best friend, and then with the ending when Reese and Fusco learn about how far back Finch's many aliases must go. Fun fact... 90% of the aliases that Finch uses throughout this show are all names of the different kinds of birds. Finch, Wren, etc... And there's a reason for this that will be revealed later on in the show. And lastly... I love the moment between Reese and Darren in the end when Darren tries to assure Reese that one day, he will find a home too. It's quite a beautiful sentiment, and once again from the look in Reese's eyes... you can see that he doesn't believe such is possible for him. Reese has definitely come to find a family in his friends. But for him to believe he will one day find a happy ending... I can only imagine how difficult it would be for him to believe it. He certainly deserves to be happy once this is all over, because he's so much better than what he knows, but for someone who has killed good and bad people and who believes himself to be a monster, I understand why Reese can't believe it. Thank you again for a fun reaction, dear friend! I can't wait for more like always!!! Until next time... Sincerely, Heidi
