*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

David Whites character pushes his lover Rusty around and steals back her coat. He does not know her too well. She takes him back and sets him up for being a stoolie on his crime boss. The boss cuts out his tongue -right after he has deep kissed her!- She looks quite happy until he screams too much. She chips her nails and looks away. This episode was an exercise in sexual madness with Ness resisting her and thus being her favorite conquest never had. Nonsense in terms of history. She dies because she only wanted White maimed-perverse mercy- and Ness saves her having her face cut and eventually kills White who has shot her. Pity Pops with the knife and his hoods only get deported as everyone else dies horribly. Very melodramatic sexual violence which interestingly was Emmy material for Montgomery. Grand Guiniol played well in a nominally innocent time. Perhaps that redefines its era as none to innocent.
