Javi is on the menu and that isn't the only shocking death this week. Top of the list is the death of any character driven plotting. I worry about the future of this series, given this week's events.

Nearly all our main players are headed to the same location. All we need now is for Jim and Gene to get an invitation. Gene is busy enough and has unintentionally convinced law enforcement that he was Barry's puppet master.

Barry was a hitman, so deadly and sly, But deep in his heart, he wanted to try The life of an actor, on the big screen, With lights, camera, action, and a dream.
He left his old life, for a chance to shine, But fate had other plans, it wasn't divine, Now in the desert, he's in hiding, it's true, With his wife and his son, they're starting anew.
