third from last in the second season
RavenGlamDVDCollector1 August 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Great performances by the usual stars, as it is to be expected. One thing I maintain: This series shouldn't have had four seasons, two would have been enough. It's really time for a dramatic conclusion and to quit while you're ahead, because this web of lies is now continually fed with the addition of outside characters which weren't part of the original concept, much like popping a fresh piece of bubble-gum into the mouth when your current wad is losing its flavor. And in this way, the tiger is chasing its own tail here, and consuming itself, at the cost of losing a credible story-line, which has been complicated enough.

Of course it all looks good.

Ashley Madekwe (as Ashley Davenport) is back to her former glorious self again, after being noticeably down a few episodes back.

Hot new addition Seychelle (as Regina) is still there, holding promise for fun to come, I'm sure.

Satoshi Takeda, the old Chinese dude, replacement for the previous (better) version, is finally written out of the story, at long last, he just couldn't act the part.

Building to the S2 finale, but creating problems for S3.

Warning: Spoilers
With Mike Kelley (Exec Producer) knowing probably by this point that he was leaving at the end of S2, you can't help but wonder if he threw a few of these curve balls in because he wouldn't have to deal with the consequences of them.

The killing of Takeda and Charlotte being pregnant feel like two examples of this.

It's another decent, if unspectacular episode aside from these twists.
