Quote

As paranoia sets in for Raq and Howard over the Task Force, Kanan and Famous launch their weed delivery business, Jukebox prepares for her audition, and Ronnie grows impatient with Unique.

Air Date: December 15, 2023

Didn't take long for Ronnie "the NutCracker using a car door" to kill or assault the bouncer and steal his money. Good job not cleaning your fingerprints off the bouncer's car door. I thought he was meticulous??!!!

I doubt Unique went back home after he left the meeting with the Vietnamese dealer (Quan). Ronnie was home admiring the Honey Nut Cheerios box, so how did he know Unique was going to see Raq and the time to follow him. Now Ronnie knows about Kanan, where he lives, and he is a dealer.

I think the Honey Nut Cheerios Bee is supplying Ronnie ALL the information and times where people will be. 

Who or what prevented Ronnie from taking out Raq back in the day?

Captain Baptiste is a terrible, clueless cop to not have any suspicion on Howard and the biggest gossiper. He just tells him about Adina pushing IAD. If Howard kills Adina, Captain Baptiste will still not connect the dots from Burke/Adina to Howard.

Gerald is really "down" if Marvin is the first person he tells the kidnappers to call. Maybe he was hoping Marvin would kill them. For Marvin to go help Gerald, pay the ransom and not beat the two guy's asses was shocking.

Raq is so paranoid about the Feds she makes a U turn and drives the wrong way on a One-Way Street.

Giorgio really thought he could take on all the Feds with his little pistol.

Feds made that BIG "Raid", and they had nothing on Stephano. Red Arowanas was their big play to get his attention. Really!!???? Already they are not looking good! I had hopes for them. First impression did not go well!

There were dead mobsters at Raq's house, Bullet Proof records, Unique's spot in NJ and the Feds must have been told Sal's killer is black. The Feds first move was to apprehend Stephano and not question any of the Thomas Family. Ok! I guess!

I'm surprised Famous told Kanan Raq gave them money and he didn't keep it all for himself. He can keep it with a clear conscience now.

Famous couldn't hold the door for Kanan as they both were going back into the building after seeing Ronnie. So rude!

Speaking of Rude! Unique can't hold back insulting potential business partners. He calls Stephano "Little Linguini" and then insults Quan on how he arrived in the US.

Quan hates the Chinese and most of their food but has a Chinese wife. "Can't help who we love"! Unique should be weary of a guy that can't peel an orange quickly.

You know you're in the wrong club if "Young MC" is playing.

I would have thought Raq had a key to Marvin's house. She had to ring the bell.

I felt Raq's disgusts with the two hairdressers talking and not focus getting the job done on her hair. Barbers do that all the time too. So annoying. Now we know where she learned Spanish.

Was the arrogant girl lying or was she the first person the judges picked. She must have been really impressive to be told before all auditions concluded. They couldn't tell Juke at that time she was on stage after her 30 second audition too??!!!

Why did they put "Jukebox" on the audition form and not "Laverne"?!!?? 

Lou gets released and the first place he goes is back to the bar and not to audition. Unless he thought it was over. So much for being there for Juke!!!

For a moment, I thought Shirley Beaumont was making a play for "Lou Train" with innuendos (My "Door" is always open, I'm a lover not a fighter..).  I guess the line is drawn with her by not helping Lou get out of jail/drunk tank. Did the ignorant guy not press any charge on Lou?

So, Lou discovered Das EFX or Das EFX 2.0? Of all bars/clubs, why would they choose her place to showcase?

@mxc90 I didn’t think much happened this episode but you’ve proved me wrong!

 

I can see Juke wanting the name that represents her, rather than her legal name on the audition form.

Ronnie just reminded me of a serial killer standing in the distance.

I assumed she was lying.

Yup, we're really watching Lou be completely useless this season. I feel like this season may be his exit unless they find something to do with him.

He's a sociopath. Spur of the moment violence without thinking about the consequences of fall out.

I'm dead! The image I just got in my head of the Bee chilling on his shoulder giving him all the tea and helping him plot every morning as he munches his cereal and drinks the left over milk!

I’ve had a busy weekend but I missed the hint about the Honey Nut Cheerios. Wasn’t he eating those in episode one? What was the significance?

No real significance. We're just joking on that was all we see him eat so far.

LOL. Evil Bee rubbing his hands together telling Ronnie the plans for the day.

Thanks! 

I guess. I never thought anyone can do that on a form.
