Aaron’s famous perp walk is done quite well.

Aaron always puts himself first no matter what. He has implicated Shayanna and Tanya in his crimes. He drags them down with him. TJ and Terri’s lives are falling apart too.

Terri trash-talking about Tanya is uncalled for. She’s fighting cancer, b*tch!

Quote

“I’m your family, Shay.”

It’s frustrating to see how Aaron couldn’t empathize with Shayanna and the difficulties that she is facing. She’s torn between him and her family. 

Shayanna also comes under scrutiny with the DA office but she chooses to not throwing Aaron under the bus and lie on the stand instead — never looked inside the disposed box, never discussed with Aaron about its content, thought it was marijuana.

What Shayanna does to her mom and sister, it’s so hurtful. That level of betrayal, they can forgive but they can’t forget. In the end, Shayanna chooses to follow Tanya’s “ride or die” mantra.

The most impactful scene for me is Aaron quietly saying “I’m sorry” to his daughter in their private moment. Sorry for killing innocent men or for putting his family in that situation — we will never know.

Kudos to Josh Rivera for injecting some emotions in that courtroom stare.

This was again one of the better episodes. It's a shame it took all the way for the end to get this show really going. The actress who plays Shay was really good. The best she has been all season though to be fair this was the most she had to do. I understand he was the Father of her child and she was stuck in a bad position but still she hung her Sister out to dry. I think she knew about Odin but I am not sure if she knew about the other crimes.
