Suarez discovered his spine!
He all the time had one, however since getting concerned in Sharpe’s marketing campaign, he has been toeing the road greater than he ought to, virtually letting Sharpe run the division.
However when Suarez’s mistake went viral on East New York Season 1 Episode 15, he’d lastly had sufficient. It was about time he stood up for his division as an alternative of placing political ambitions first.
g
Though Suarez’s anger towards Sharpe was lengthy overdue, this downside was partially Suarez’s fault.
Would he have stopped to confront these allegedly lazy cops if he wasn’t making an attempt to attain political factors? He pulled over to yell at them whereas Allison was on a ride-along; do not inform me he wasn’t making an attempt to impress her.
Suarez thought the identical factor Allison did: confronting these cops would reveal that he was the sort of chief the NYPD wants. However as soon as he realized he’d misinterpret the scenario, Suarez backed down and hoped to neglect the entire thing.
As a substitute, it grew to become a part of the general public document because of Allison posting it on-line. And it did not solely embarrass Suarez — it additionally made Sandeford appear to be a lazy cop.
These sorts of scuffles with the press can be a part of Suarez’s job if he turns into commissioner, judging from how usually Frank offers with unhealthy media takes on Blue Bloods.
Suarez: Getting concerned in a political marketing campaign was a mistake.
Allison: John, no. I are inclined to justify my habits by what is going to assist me win. It makes me a superb political guide however not an excellent particular person up to now.
However Suarez will not get there if he lets Allison distract him with extra kisses!
.
Suarez was proper the primary time — getting concerned in politics was a mistake.
Sharpe’s agenda has been at odds with the 7-4’s since Regina took cost of the unit. Sharpe cares extra about optics and approval scores than defending and serving East New York’s most susceptible residents.
That hasn’t modified now that Suarez is on Sharpe’s crew. Minutes earlier than firing Allison, Sharpe complained to Suarez that Regina was going after Lustig — one among his greatest donors.
[Allison kisses Suarez]
Allison: If we have been nonetheless working collectively, this is able to be fully inappropriate.
Suarez: Does not imply it is a good suggestion.
Getting in mattress with Alison — actually or figuratively — will not go anyplace good. Suarez had higher notice that earlier than one thing occurs he cannot undo.
Regina wasn’t the one one disillusioned that Lustig had nothing to do with Marcus’ homicide. It appeared bizarre that after Marcus made himself essentially the most recognizable voice within the anti-gentrification motion, he wasn’t killed due to it.
As a substitute, his demise was resulting from a run-of-the-mill affair between his spouse and his next-door neighbor.
Yenko: The excellent news is that they solved a murder right this moment.
Regina: Yeah. The unhealthy information is that Lustig had nothing to do with it.
Bryon claimed he did not wish to kill Marcus, however what the hell did he assume would occur if he hit him over the pinnacle with a shovel?
He and Bettina wanted Marcus out of the best way so they may promote their homes and run away collectively. The one strategy to accomplish that was to kill Marcus.
As well as, widespread sense dictates that in the event you hit a person over the pinnacle with a shovel, he is prone to die.
Technically, Lustig was not directly accountable since Bettina and Bryon killed Marcus in order that they may promote the property to Lustig. However that is not his fault nor actionable.
The answer to this thriller was meant to be a twist: as an alternative of the evil developer, the spouse and her secret lover killed Marcus.
Looking back, Bettina was making an attempt too onerous to deflect suspicion. Her willingness to show over Marcus’ journal appeared like an harmless particular person cooperating, however she was something however.
The crew instantly discovered an entry pointing to Lustig. How handy!
Did Lustig actually threaten Marcus? Or did Bettina forge this entry to throw the cops off the path and body the developer she deliberate to promote to?
This gentrification storyline is not anyplace close to over. This was solely the opening act.
Regina declared battle on Lustig. This’ll deliver Sharpe’s wrath down on her — let’s hope Suarez sticks to his weapons about not letting Sharpe management the division!
Whereas Sharpe will not just like the highlight on Lustig, Councilwoman Ayers will strain Regina to arrest him earlier than she’s prepared.
I do not blame Ayers for being impatient. Gentrification negatively impacts her group, and individuals who stand as much as it get bullied into silence. And prior to now, the cops have appeared the opposite means as a result of they did not care about wealthy white males harassing poor Black folks.
The councilwoman would not know Regina or her dedication to ending this discriminatory crap. Hopefully, they may discover themselves on the identical facet as this story progresses.
Elsewhere, Brandy’s mom coming to city most likely will not be excellent news.
She’s sober now, however there are by no means any ensures. Ann-Marie appears to have changed her alcohol dependancy with butting into Brandy’s life.
Brandy is in a susceptible place. She broke up with Andre as a result of she felt shut out an excessive amount of of the time, and the very last thing she wants is her mom placing her two cents into that relationship.
Like many kids of addicts, Brandy additionally feels accountable for her mom’s selections. She fears Ann-Marie will get into bother as a result of she’s not there to observe or entertain her more often than not.
These are fascinating dynamics! Ann-Marie needs to make amends, however how lengthy will she keep sober? And can Brandy wreck her profession making an attempt to deal with her mom?
She may drop every thing if she thinks her mom is utilizing or wants her to remain sober. That might result in profession suicide!
There was a whole lot of relationship motion within the hour — Brandy broke up with Andre, Corinne made it clear she was accomplished with Killian, and Regina determined to begin a relationship with Sean.
Regina/Sean is essentially the most compelling of those tales. I am curious whether or not Regina’s instinct is selecting up on one thing about Sean or if it is her concern speaking.
