It is Beth towards the world.
Or a day that ends in Y for our major girl. She has a Judas residing in her residence and two brothers/cousins standing off in some twisted combat for her affection and experience. Plus, her sister is kidnapped on Good Girls Season 4 Episode 12.
So, yeah. It truly is Beth towards everyone.
There are solely three episodes left of Good Women endlessly. And whereas it is extremely unhappy, there’s nonetheless a whole lot of the season left to cowl.
And we head into this closing stretch with Rio making a reasonably daring transfer.
Rio: You know the way a lot of my cash you left in that on line casino?
Ruby: All of it?
Rio: All of it. Guess we’ll name it even.
Beth: I do not wanna be even.
Rio: She ain’t price way more than that.
Kidnapping Annie pressured Beth and Ruby’s hand as a result of Rio knew that the women would do no matter they needed to do to get her again. Although it would not make very a lot sense for Rio to kill Annie at this level, the women have been in no place to name his bluff.
Rio has killed earlier than, and it could have been silly to assume that he would not damage Annie in the event that they did not do precisely what he stated.
Nick continues to be this bizarre dangerous vibe looming over the again half of Good Girls Season 4. He took an curiosity in Beth from the second they met and contemplating his historical past with Rio, it is changing into more and more clear that he is principally out to steal her away.
Whether or not he is simply making an attempt to steal her away for enterprise causes or private causes turned a bit of clearer tonight, and boy was it dirty listening to the 2 males focus on her like she was an object as a substitute of an individual.
And whereas the brother/cousins are enjoying good proper now, it is laborious to see that lasting for for much longer, particularly if Beth and Nick proceed to increase their relationship in no matter approach that appears like.
Everyone knows Beth and Rio have chemistry for days and that there’ll all the time be a simmering attraction effervescent proper below the floor it doesn’t matter what. However Beth has tried to kill the person and needed to get him arrested, and but he is nonetheless there buzzing round ensuring that she’s his.
Beth: He ought to have taken me.
Annie: He by no means will.
Each time Rio and Nick share screentime, there’s fast rigidity, and it is solely going to worsen as a result of finally Beth will both have to decide on between the 2, or they’ll make that call for her.
However circling again to the kidnapping, despite the fact that Annie was in her traditional quantity of scenes, this felt like an Annie hour.
And one of the best Annie second general she wasn’t even part of.
Within the four-plus seasons of Good Women, what number of instances have we seen Beth and Ben collectively? It must be a low quantity, and that is a disgrace as a result of their two scenes collectively have been beautiful.
They’re the 2 individuals who know Annie higher than anybody. And whereas it’s totally straightforward to rag on Annie as a result of she’s a bit of unhinged and a sizzling mess 99% of the time, however she’s additionally an individual to like and an individual you wish to have in your nook.
Beth and Annie have the quintessential sibling bond. They argue, and so they make up, and so they do no matter they should do to guard each other, however we have hardly ever Beth ever admire Annie for who she is.
Sure, she’s wild and irresponsible and self-absorbed and reckless, however she’s additionally a superb one that loves fiercely and makes issues enjoyable. Her life is much from glitz and glamour, however Annie all the time does her finest to have a superb time.
It may not be one thing some individuals worth, however once you exist in a perpetual loop of crap, that is the form of particular person you wish to have round.
Annie and Mick’s day of journey was lots funnier than it had any proper to be. They play off one another very properly, and is it bizarre that it was endearing to see Annie assist him as a substitute of operating or throwing him below the bus to the police?
Outing him to the police would have been a catastrophe, however she may have very properly run away or simply let the police do what they have been going to do and stored her mouth shut. However Mick was sending a foul man a message, and to Annie, that felt like a noble trigger.
It is not like Mick is a “good” man by any means (although who’s on this present), however one thing is charming about him. And that is an odd factor to say a couple of man who barely speaks and kills on command.
However that is simply the facility of this present.
Whereas the Beth and Ben pairing was pleasant and touching, the pairing of Dean and Stan was something however.
It is a marvel they did not attempt to pair these two up extra of the years, particularly as they develop into extra educated about what their spouses have been doing. They might have began a assist group or one thing approach again when, and perhaps it would not have led them to the place they’ve discovered themselves at now.
There’s something very shifty concerning the Brotherhood and Vance imparticular. They barely know Dean, but they’re bending over backward to assist him deliver down Beth. However why?
What’s in it for them?
Stan is skeptical at first when Dean tries to deliver him on board, however his hatred for Beth wins out ultimately, and instantly he is able to co-captain the bus operating her over.
In no universe does Dean out Beth and get himself off and in some way spare Ruby and Annie from the carnage. The three of them are approach too interconnected, plus it is laborious to assume they might all let Beth do time for crimes that they’ve all had an equal hand in.
If Stan believes no matter he says will solely keep on with Beth, and he and his household will likely be residing the dream and be freed from Beth endlessly, he’s sorely mistaken.
Perhaps again within the early days of the collection, I’d have thought Stan was enjoying Dean and was really making an attempt to look out for Beth, however there’s a slim to none probability of that occuring.
So, Beth (and the women) are in hassle. And the saddest a part of all of it is they do not even notice that decision is coming from inside their very own homes.
Odds and Ends
- Annie could have been weirded out, however who does not wish to lick the within of an Oreo and eliminate the remaining instantly?
- There is no such thing as a approach that mother is not coming again round to try to steal the strip membership again. That was approach too straightforward a repair for Beth and Ruby.
- If Beth desires profession recommendation from Nick, does that imply she’s keen on politics? I’d say she does not have any expertise, however that has stopped actually nobody ever.
These previous couple of installments will likely be very bittersweet to cowl, however here is hoping that the collection concludes with a satisfying ending! Whereas not probably the most thrilling hour, this pushed the tales additional and set us up for a number of clashes to come back.
Please drop a remark down under and tell us the place you assume issues are headed!
Will Beth have to decide on between the brother/cousins?
Will Dean and Stan activate Beth for actual?
Was Annie proper to assist Mick?
