But before we get there, there are a lot of other story lines to sift through.

But that’s not the whole story.
As is widely known at this point, Mickey’s script is garbage.
Of course, Mickey doesn’t agree to the plan.
He thinks it ruins his creative vision like a bank robbery film set in Boston is original.
So, the Donovan patriarch does what he always does and goes to Ray for help.
Ray’s gone down similar roads before, but this feels much angrier and more final.
It’s about time this story got moving!
Or…not exactly.
He commissions him to stage the shooting, and it goes exactly as planned.
It’s a bittersweet goodbye; Lena is still there for him, but Ray isn’t exactly forgiving.
Surely neither of them imagined their friendship ending this way.
There are other ways to suggest that powerful white men are sad besides consistent meaningless sex!
The first thing that needs to be taken care of is Frank.
He’s let Bunchy out of prison, and now Mickey wants his evidence back.
“You shot him.
The Head of the FBI,” says a flabbergasted Mickey.
This can’t bode well for the Donovans.
Terry finally gets Ray to meet him at the bar, and he admits what he did.
Well, for killing her mother.
Perhaps, though, the show can find something interesting in the mess this will leave.
