The Episode Review
It’s now clear that Samuel is not the killer, which is obvious given what we know about him and how he’s going to meet an untimely demise later on this season. However, it’s still interesting to see all these puzzle pieces fit together. After a rather tepid start this show is just starting to fire on all cylinders now.
The sex scene between Ivan and Patrick was steamy! It had been building up for a while, with a lot of pent-up frustration between the two. Finally, we see that erupt in this intimate scene. However, it’s something that becomes complicated by Cruz taking a fancy to Patrick too. ..
The relationships in this novel are pretty standard, although it’s nice to see a little more about Isadora. It’s unclear how she fits into the larger picture, but it looks like there will be more drama to come.
