Maybe someone who has more power and money got to them first.
With the music and direction of the scene, it was hard for me to process what happened too! Seemed pretty effective. Lol.
they don't like vaughn
what if it was Chessani's son - considering he's an actor... he could've fooled the girl.
EDIT: Nevermind.

also didn't think it was very good save the last 15 minutes.
god that you're gold scene from Vaugn. That was Sandlot bad. Jesus. So cringe.

I just don't think he's "white" enough, you know?
I mean, look at this motherfucker:
No one's calling him "white."

yeah, I know. I fucked up
Totally. All his existential bullshit poetry.
He acted it perfectly and Harrelson acted the part of a guy sick of hearing it perfectly.
She spoke to a cop.
One thing I couldn't get: Who was the man Ani recognized in the party, the one who made her gasp and jump back, which was when she first ran into the old, horny fat oil magnate?
Lt. Burris? I suppose he's not quite "tall," though.

Didn't we learn in episode 4 or 5 that Dixon got the diamonds before they found it in the safe deposit box? Some fishy stuff seemed like it was going on with him but alas he died in the shoot out.
I think this season has been quite disappointing, but I enjoyed this episode a whole lot. Even VV's moment with Stan's (HEY REMEMBER STAN?! HE WAS SO GOOD) kid, I thought that was decently emotional and provided a neat contrast with Velcoro pouring his heart out only to receive an "ok" back.
Hey, if you're enjoying the season, good for you.
I know good writing, though, and the vast majority of this season isn't it.
Your "criticism" is stupid. All critics are "arm chair" critics.
No, he was looking for them. He never had them.

Great episode, definetely dug it. Kind of ridiculous it took until Episode 6 of 8 to actually get a great episode.

Another good episode, IMO. Some observations:
1. They missed a golden opportunity for McAdams to see a unicorn in the woods as they were driving away while she was still tripping balls.
2. There were 2 clear shots of the full moon. The first shot was normal, the end scene the moon was fucking huge. I have to imagine this was done on purpose. Is this some sort of bizarro dream world?
3. Who think McAdams practicing CQC on a wooden dummy in her kitchen is dumb now!?
4. "Tall, white cop" ... possibly the mayor? Not a cop, but sure damn looks like one. Remember she said he wasn't wearing a uniform to Frank.
5. I really though that Frank with Stan's kid was a great scene. Frank really connected with him and he just met the kid, then an instant transition to Velcoro and his boy and they couldn't be more awkward and far apart.

There are a few pretty easy reasons to guess at:
He's nervous about what Woodrugh found, which at this point, I think we can agree is unlikely.
He was worried about the girls in the back of his car, which is pretty eh.
He just had a risky, near-death experience, which he still technically wasn't safely away from, and he was trying to process the whole experience while still driving the getaway car.

Two episodes in a row of things happening. At this rate the final episode should have the most things happening ever!
I could've misinterpreted that scene badly, but I'm pretty sure some repressed memories came back to her of being molested as a child. The guy was probably the guy who did it, and based on the way he looked, I'd guess he was a hippy and a friend of her fathers.
Hopefully the final episode isn't just "wrap up". I hate it when they do that.

enjoyed that episode
the song and atmosphere at the manor was great. Collin making peace with his wife. Looks like his character's end is near. Really thought he'll die this episode

The cop is probably Valcero's superior that kept showing up at crime scenes in a suspicious manner. Ie, getting there before Ani in episode 3.
My gf and i got that vibe as well. I guess we'll find out soon.

Tall, white cop is James Frain, right? She even said he was a "jefe"

She gives him the Die Hard with a Vengeance special
I guessed Lt. Burris, but I didn't know how tall he was until I just looked it up.
Frain is 6', so it could be him.
I'm with you there. I have enjoyed the last two episodes, more or less, but I still think the show is a mess. There is just so much going on and half of it feels superfluous.
I think it was that guy of questionable ethnicity pictured above. Plus the 2 bosses from the office Kitsch broke into, but I don't think they'd recognize her
Are they even pretending to be law enforcement officers now? Like a full raid on that mansion. McAdams is slaying people and practically kidnapping someone, and Kitsch stole a ton of documents.
I wonder if they got any info out of her regarding what cop specifically. You'd think they'd be curious about that detail, too, unless they already know.
Who can even keep track? The diamonds were in Caspere's safety deposit box, right? And then somewhere in the time jump they disappeared?
I'm an idiot. I completely missed Tony Chessani because I was paying too much attention to the guy who's in front of Ossip. It's Jacob McCandless, and he's been around.

My god, McAdams this ep
Mayor Austin Chessani's not-actually-his kids: Tony and Betty.
He kidnapped them from foster care.
They killed the former Mrs. Chessani because she couldn't handle it.

They managed to make an crazy spooky orgy neither crazy nor spooky, what a wasted opportunity.
Show hasn't been the same since Velcro's mustache went away. RIP.
