+ Jealous Gil is excellent. I loved his reaction to Jessica/Endicott in that first scene with them.
+ I loved Malcolm setting up the confrontation between Eve and Martin to manipulate his dad. Eve did great.
+ Jessica's call with Martin was fun.
+ "I can always do more damage." This is basically the most true thing Martin has ever said, yes?
1x19 ‘The Professionals’
+ Oh, man, poor Eve. I'm annoyed she was killed off. I'm also really sad for Sophie. She hid herself away and didn't tell Eve to protect her and now it was searching for her that led to Eve's death. They never even had the chance to see each other again. I'm hoping Sophie shows up and is part of taking Endicott down.
+ I do like that we got an explanation for how Martin managed to get such an extremely cushy cell and privileges.
+ I loved Jessica/Gil. The kiss was great and I really loved Gil reassuring Jess that she was always good enough. I was genuinely surprised that they’d attempted dating in the past because I’d assumed based on their interactions that she only saw him as a friend while he was pining.
+ Everyone's concern and compassion for Malcolm was really nice.
+ I loved Malcolm’s panic and grief and “Dad, no!” when he thought Martin was going to die in front of him. I love that gave Martin the extra ‘motivation’ to fight to save himself – though honestly that really felt like a manipulation. I cannot see Martin Whitley not fighting to save his own life.
+ Loved Martin poking out Jerry’s eyes in revenge for Eve/Malcolm. I loved his ”Good thing you came in when you did, I was being brutally attacked.” LOL.
+ I was surprised that the truth about Endicott came out so quickly.
