I like this penultimate episode better than episode 04. It gives us the clarity on what made Oz the man he is today. Could Rex Calabrese be Oz’s biological dad? 👀
Oz doesn’t take very kindly to being mocked and made to feel inferior, being called the Penguin etc. It has consequences once his impulsive nature takes over. We consistently see it throughout the show with Alberto, Jack, Benny, Sofia’s henchman etc.
Oz doesn’t have a problem abandoning people. He has been doing that since he was young. He only looks out for himself and Francis.
In the separate tunnel scenes, it’s a nice contrast between water causing deaths of Oz’s brothers and fire causing destruction in the present day. Another contrast is Oz being alive while Jack and Benny were dead.
Oz wanting to build a new life on the very same ground he buried his brothers is wickedly haunting.
Sofia’s game is to reveal to Francis what Oz did to his brothers. Losing Francis is the ultimate pain for Oz.
Despite everything he has done and how diabolically twisted he is, I still want Oz to win in the end.
Only one episode left. 😢
