The juxtaposition of Goggins going from Rick to uncle baby Billy right after this episode is hilarious

I was wondering if anyone was unfamiliar enough with Walton Goggins to be shocked by "That's the SAME GUY!?"

I loved last night's episode, but almost nothing actually advanced.

The Rockwell scene was funny, but gratuitous in a bad way for me (felt like they wasted Rockwell a little). He was great though.

I got downvoted earlier when I brought up incest with the Ratliffs, and now two of them have made out.

I literally could not care any less about Belinda at all. I almost hope she dies soon. And zero chance that Pornchai (hilarious name for this show btw) would be into her IMO.

Of course we get more male nudity. That's two penises and two asses now I believe. At least Carrie Coon flashed us though I guess.

I had a feeling Jaclyn was gonna bang Valentin. She kept trying and trying to get Laurie to frick one (or all?) of the Russians, so when she kept balking at it I figured Jaclyn would step in. Especially after a night of partying like that. And Valentin leaving the door wide arse open was very noticeable.

That Russian girlfriend was a fricking smokeshow.

I don't like the dragging out of Lochlan and Chloe. If they're gonna hook up, they should have 100% done it last night. Don't drag that shite out.

Chelsea is still growing on me. She was all like "I could never cheat on Rick...I'm a romantic." It just felt so sweet. I hope she doesn't change her tune the longer he's gone, and I really hope she doesn't cave to Saxon's offerings.

I half-hoped Tim would pull that trigger last night. I actually really like his story...it's intriguing. But the way it's playing out fricking sucks. How many times do we have to see him look anguished or talk to someone on the phone about the shite going down before we actually have some payout for all of that? I want to get into it, but they refuse to give us anything outside of a throwaway line about tax evasion and embezzlement or whatever.

Gaitok being a total pussy and not confronting Tim about the gun is egregious. "I lost something and I think you have it" or whatever he said. frick that. You're the security guard of the hotel. Tell him you know he has the gun and to give that shite back. Get help from your coworkers if you need to. I know he doesn't want to do that because it will show his incompetence, but frick. I am not fully on the "Mook, keep his arse friend zoned" team. She deserves better than that pussified bitch.

I actually kinda of liked Parker Posey this episode. For a split second she came off like a decent person and a good wife. She fully supports Tim, even knowing that something is up. I wonder if we will see a big shift in characters like we have in the past...seems like this show likes to portray someone as something and then change them for the better (or worse) later one. So like now that she is off her meds, she will shape up into being a normal wife and mom and we will like her. Similar thing is happening with Saxon...he came off more likeable this week than previously.

So who do we have as potential shooters so far? This is what I got:

- Tim - literally has the gun.
- Gaitok - guard with access to the gun.
- Someone from the owner lady's security team.
- Rick - assuming he can manage to get the gun back into Thailand and the resort (not likely). But we know he has a crazy streak.
- Greg/Gary - mainly because Chloe said he's capable of murder and would kill her if she fricked Saxon and he found out.

Anybody else obviously stand out at this point?

And by the way, I assume it will be none of those since this show likes to misdirect so much.

Nothing happened to advance the storyline.

Dude


The Carolina dad is actively going nuts deciding between suicide and living with the potential to spend the rest of his life in prison. This could be his inevitable “snapping” moment and could go nuts on others

The cougar trio ranks are falling faster and faster and with the affair with Russian hotel guy, tensions will be broken next episode.

Greg/Gary’s hot model gf is cheating with magic boy which could lead to some retaliation

Goggins got a gun and has his “ladyboy” friend lined up for something big which may or may not have anything to do with his “father being killed” story

Things are progressing at a rapid pace now. It seemed as if the lady’s son wasn’t there very long before the shooting started, so I imagine the next few episodes will be unraveling even faster.

So like now that she is off her meds

minor quibble but how has she not deduced that tim has her pills by now? they were taken from her purse after she showed him where she hid it, and he's been in a stupor ever since...

he also might be the worst security guard in the world so there’s that

also valid

So the two boys are hanging out with the hot chicks, drunk and on drugs, all of them, and neither of them makes a pass at a chick? Aren't they a little young for Low T problems?

Saxon held off on Celine Dion bc he saw she was interested in Lucky and wants to help get his brother laid.

He wants to bang Chelsea but she’s been rude and stand offish to him, so he’s trying to sweeten her up. She’s also been pining over Rick; that’s enough to turn a lot of guys off or slow down their game. Who wants to bang a chick who’s sad about her boyfriend?

And Lucky is totally in to his older brother.

Posey did just that when she walked in while he had the gun to his temple.

“Tim, you haven’t been yourself.”

So if you were the guy from the hotel and could have Coon or Brady's ex, who would you pick? Coon is still hot AF but might go Bradys ex.

Are you talking about Jaclyn? That’s Michelle Monaghan not Brady’s ex.

You weren't the only one.
