Maybe thats a good thing though.
Chinese Algebra opens with the police discovering Marisols body in Lake Hollywood.
Here though, its exactly what Ray wants.

He wants Marisols death to look like a suicide, and thats exactly how it looks.
But, thats often howRay Donovanoperates.
Anyway, plotting issues and redundant storytelling aside, Ray has a plan for getting Avi back.
Meanwhile, at the Donovan house, Bunchy and Teresa are finally taking off.
They realize they cant stay with Abby and Ray anymore because its not safe.
Theyre headed up north, hoping to find a place they like along the way and settle down.
Abby initially seems reluctant about them leaving, but thats not exactly true.
Rather, her look is one of resignation.
Teresa doesnt hesitate to accept, repaying Abby for the care she took with Maria.
Ray fills Terry in as well, but that doesnt mean everythings kosher now.
The plan is actually pretty simple, though the execution could be difficult.
Thats big money, so obviously Dmitri accepts.
He wants to meet Hector to see to it hes prepared to take the fall.
Until then, Ray doesnt get Avi.
A wrinkle develops in the plan pretty quickly though.
When Ray heads to the airport to meet Mickey and grab the money, hes followed by Frank Barnes.
Barnes shows Ray the video of him entering the port warehouse with Belikov.
Interestingly enough, Barnes isnt interested in busting Ray for murder.
Rather, he wants Dmitri.
Rays no rat though, as he tells his father later, and declines the offer.
Alas, Rays struggle with the Russians isnt over just yet.
Theres another Russian that hes forgotten about, that he thought was dealt with already.
The past comes back to haunt Ray, as it always does.
While driving Avi to the hospital, Ray gets pulled over by Barnes and a number of other agents.
They arrest Ray and bring him inyet again.
This time though, they dont have any questions for him.
They found her, and apparently shes flipped.
Three words close out the episode, delivered with pure spite by Barnes:
Youre fed, Ray.
