The town may have said their goodbyes to Siobhan at her funeral, and Hood purged himself of some of his pain during his encounter with Chayton, but this doesn’t mean that Trieste Kelly Dunn is going anywhere just yet. Sharp eyed fans may have already spotted her in the promo for this episode, which is only one of the scenes that she pops up in before the end of the season. As this week’s title suggests, there is nowhere you can go to escape the dead. They will follow you in your dreams, question you if you start to doubt yourself and watch over you when you are at your most vulnerable.
With Camp Genoa being shut down in a matter of days, and the groundwork all being in place, the heist is technically ready to go ahead. Only Job has doubts about pulling it off successfully, which are down to Hood’s state of mind, and who could blame him after witnessing what went down in the Redbones camp. They can’t afford for any of details on this job to go wrong, the stakes are just too high. But he’s not about to walk out on his buddy just yet, especially not after he finally answers his question from last week and tells him that what he needs is this job to keep him busy.
On the other hand, Carrie is someone who is having no trouble being kept busy this week. She and Gordon get to hear about Deva’s new friends and finally step up as parents and intervene in a unique manner. It’s great to see Rus Blackwell finally getting some action sequences in the show, the shooting last week and now a bit of a scrap too. OK, it’s not up there with the Burton/Nola showdown, or the Stowe/Hood fight later in this episode, but it’s a hell of a lot more entertaining than drunk and sorry for himself Gordon, that’s for sure!
Back in December Greg promised something special for this episode he directs during our
interview with him. If you have seen the promo then you will have probably picked up on it already and have an idea of the effect it creates. Three of the characters wear cameras on their heads, then there are several ‘cover cams’ and the Camp Genoa’s security feed is hacked so that Sugar can co-ordinate between them all during the robbery itself.
It sounds simple enough, and indeed it starts out as fairly straightforward to follow, especially if you have had any experience with first person shooter gaming. But then things start to go terribly wrong, and the limited view the audience has on the whole situation will have you on the edge of your seat as the tension slowly ratchets up. It is a genius idea that turns the whole heist sequence into a masterpiece of direction and I would love to hear more from the team on how it was all put together.
Elsewhere, two of the regular cast make trips out of town this week. Rebecca is still stinging from the showdown her uncle gave her in public in front of the Black Beards, and in private in the form of Emily Lotus. While Kai is busy wining and dining his new lady friend, the petulant young business woman decides to take a trip to Philadelphia and to work out a deal of her own with the Salvadorans. Chayton has also finally fled Banshee after the manhunt for him intensifies. The FBI have lost track of him, but help comes from an unlikely source when Deputy King makes some secret inquiries in order to make up for her lost chance in capturing him last week.
