Now that was a episode worth my time and a far cry from last weeks. This one had Bridget now starting to piece part of the puzzle together and uncover what Shiv is actually up to. Elsewhere, Shiv finally convinces Henry who she is and who she is not by giving him evidence in the form of....Bridget. So, it looks like Juliet was telling the truth about being raped by her teacher, now that another student is coming forward with the same allegation. My guess is that the teacher knew about the hidden cameras and he was using it as his alibi to discredit any student who would eventually threaten him.

I suspected that Juliet was pulling a scam with the Teacher to get her hands the money. But I thought that the mastermind behind the scam involved her Mother as the ringleader. It's a nice twist regardless. Now, we have all heard the term "no honor among thieves". That will certainly come into play between Juliet, Mr. Carpenter and the White Trash Chick. So, who's gonna get whacked out of the 3?

Well, that didn't take long for the 'Honor Among Thieves' to start showing it's colors. And even though she wasn't the ring leader, Juilet's mother is now involved in trying to clean up her mess, and she has the ultimate motivation to do so since we will stand to gain financially by getting rid of Mr. Carpenter. This story is now about to eclipse the whole Bridget/Shiv arc. Also, we finally get to see what drove Bridget and Shiv apart seven years ago with the death of Shiv's son; Sean, and how this drove Bridget to her lowest point which led to her association with Bodaway.

I was right the first time about Juliet's mother, Catherine being the mastermind behind the swindle, but it's much deeper than that now, something that even I didn't see coming. The fact that she paid someone to beat up Tessa and she's also sleeping with Mr. Carpenter tells me that she has thought long and hard about this plan for some time. So now she's got both Tessa's and Carpenter's share of the money, how long before she goes after her own daughter's loot?

Also, I did not see the ending coming when Andrew confesses that the Ponzi Scheme was his idea and not Olivia's. I was certain she was behind it. Very interesting. They are setting up a lot of things that can definitely carry it over into next season should this get picked up. Knock on wood.

The  s h i t  is really starting to hit the fan now. I don't even know if Andrew does in fact have the killer instinct inside him to actually kill Malcolm or if the writers are just painting him that way to throw me off the track. One thing that I am glad for is that someone (Olivia) finally killed off Tyler. Boring character and crappy actor. Happy he is off the show. Nice to finally what is driving Machado. I wouldn't have expected it to be that he was dating the stripper that was killed who was also carrying his child to be the reason why.

So, who shot JR....I mean Andrew? This is getting whacky. The more it begins to unravel, the harder it becomes in following the narrative. So, the gunman is either Shiv or Henry. But then again, the writers could be throwing someone else into the mix to trip up the viewers. Or did Bridget set this up as a preemptive strike to take out Andrew before he killed her and stage it like a random killing? The writers have a way of making the editing of the show seem like we are getting all the info but in fact are only getting half of it.

I didn't think that Juliet would confess so soon about her involvement with her Mom and that whole Mr. Carpenter fraud. I figured they were going to use this as another arc to lead into Season 2, if there is another season that is. Henry has got to be the dumbest character on TV ever. First he calls out Shiv on her lies that she had been using him and then turns around and forgives her and then on top of that confesses to her that he killed Tyler. Yeah, I don't see that coming back to bite him in the ass later.
