Recap

I Told You To Hit Him – Adam, Harris, Ray

As Ray’s friends handle his charge going away, he tries to look out for Adam since he seems like a nice guy. However, with him calling a fellow inmate, Harris, “Champ,” which is code for c**ksucker, Adam gets himself in trouble. So, Ray tells Adam to go after Harris to prove he isn’t a chump, and with Ray’s advice not adhered to, when Adam is vulnerable on the toilet, Harris beats the hell out of him.

Oh, and if you thought Ray did or would do anything about his roommate getting an ass whipping? You’d be wrong.

Out & About – Ray, Brittany

Brittany isn’t a kid anymore, so Ray can’t hide his imprisonments and pretend he is on vacation. Brittany knows Ray went to jail. This, as you can imagine, doesn’t sit well with Ray, so he tries to spin the story so that his violence sounds justified. However, him not being honest remains an issue, as does what him going to jail means for Brittany’s social life.

Things To Note | Question(s) Left Unanswered

1. So, no more Adam then?

Commentary/ Review

Brittany Not Naïve To What Her Father Is About, Little By Little

Ray going to jail, killing people, and being part of the underworld, no one but Brittany would probably mourn Ray at this time. His brother is dead, he doesn’t have any connection to his parents, and also Ray is a single man. Brittany pretty much is his grounding force and also what likely keeps him from becoming utterly cold-blooded. So her no longer existing in that realm of naivety and innocence? That means a shift in Ray and Brittany’s relationship he doesn’t seem ready for but will be fun to see fleshed out.
