“What’s In The Box?!”
Asif is still in a coma, but his family is working hard to get him back on his feet. Luan and Marian continue to work together, but their relationship is complicated by the fact that they are both attracted to Asif. The gangsters have started to take notice of their relationship and are starting to make moves against them.
With 1.3 tons of it gone, and both Koba and Sean in the firing line, this is obviously all a big play to get Sean out of the driver’s seat.
Billy turns on Marian, questioning her knowledge of the route and pointing out that she knows it too. He asks if she could be the one to take it, since she’s been known to do well in such a challenge.
Asif and Koba are discussing a potential plan to smuggle drugs into France. They have been in talks with someone in Paris about the possibility, but they are not sure if they will be able to move the gear yet. If they can, it would be a perfect opportunity for them to take it for themselves.
The dealer, Bibi Agostini, is one of the strongest drug suppliers in France. Sean knows that they can’t go in all guns blazing, so instead he decides to try and strike a deal with her. ..
Elliot shows up to see Shannon, who admits that she’s in on this whole deal with Marian and Luan. They intend to distribute the drugs themselves, but Elliot is too busy chasing Sean, dead-set on killing him. Elliot contemplates whether to head out to Paris and kill him there, believing security will be less tight. ..
Marian intends to distribute the heroin for half the usual price, flooding the marketplace before Sean and Koba return, and essentially crippling their operation. The thing is, Billy has followed Marian and the others, and watches their meeting from afar. He breaks into the nearby shipping container and finds all the heroin too.
Billy attempted to call Sean, but was stopped by Luan, who had a gun. He forced Billy to give him his phone, and then called Marian. Marian decided to lock up Billy, putting him in the van with all of the gear. Of course, given his history of using drugs, this was the worst possible place for him. ..
Marian eventually lets her son out, where Billy challenges what she’s doing and believes she regrets Sean coming back and messing up her operation. After slapping him in the face, Marian gives her son a bottle of water and leaves him locked up. Ed doesn’t think this is a good idea though. ..
In Paris, Koba meets with Saba, whilst Elliot watches from afar, having followed them to the capital. She serves as the translator as Sean proposes that they and Bibi work together and enter a lucrative trade agreement. Bibi has to go but gives them a card to meet at her VIP club that evening. She’s heard their proposal but what are her terms? We’re going to find out soon!
Elliot snatches up Saba and bundles her in the back of his van, informing her exactly who he is and offering a solution. He reminds her that she’s basically owned by them now and he can stop that and turn the tables. Saba caves and reveals all, including the proposed meet at the VIP section of the club. Elliot hands over a gun, telling her to wear it that night at the club.
The big meet goes ahead, and Elliot manages to sneak in the back. With Sean and the others meeting Bibi in the VIP Karaoke room, Elliot serves as a waiter and blends in, wheeling a trolley up to the VIP level. As he tries to find the room Sean and the others are residing in, Bibi brings up the interest she has in the ports, especially as she intends to ferry in people as well as drugs. If Sean can allow human trafficking to be greenlit and come onto English shores, then she’ll agree to terms of their deal… and he agrees! ..
The door opens and a guard is seen entering. Elliot kills him before he can bring in reinforcements. Elliot bursts in and finds out that the room is actually a special one reserved for Bibi and on a completely different level.
When Elliot re-enters the elevator again, Bibi checks the monitors and notices that it’s one of the British and as such, decides to cancel her deal with him. Sean is understandably not happy and ousts Saba as the mole in the lift. He and Koba are intent on finding exactly who has betrayed them.
Shannon comes up with a plan to get Sean that night. She will go to the club and get him while he is still inside. Elliot is hesitant at first, but Shannon convinces him that it is the only way to save his friend and they agree to go along with her plan.
Marian is informed by the postman that she has received a package with blood on it, and inside is a severed arm of Billy.
The Episode Review
The finale of the second season of “Game of Thrones” is set to be explosive, with many questions still left unanswered. While the first season was more successful, there are some things that have been left unresolved.
The show has been successful in delivering on the drama and gang warfare that made the first season so captivating. While Sean’s “turn to the dark side” may be disappointing, with the promise of Koba VS Sean failing to materialize, there is still time for the final episode to deliver a satisfying ending. ..
