The Mia storyline was pretty unexpected and sad, and leaving it on a cliff hanger is just mean but I appreciate that Evan was there for Mia and Peter. I also really liked that Joey was there too for Peter because they’re a little family. I loved Evan asking Peter if he needed his help, a cross over of his two personas and that he just sat and held his hand. That was very sweet.

Very badass finish of Evan cleaning up the whole cartel. I don’t know that I loved the whole Romeo and Juliet twelvie thing and I respect that Evan got mad over her stupid problems because like he said people are literally dying right now. Him getting a possible future contact in the ‘not’ cartel guy was pretty good too. Im glad that he went straight to Joey after to reconcile and hear her out about her trip.

Evan is an utter badass! The whole Romeo and Juliet things feels a little tired, but Evan is awesome enough that I don’t even mind. I hated the big fight between him and Joey especially because it’s very obviously leading up to him having a revelation and ‘setting her free’. Mia possibly having a brain tumour seems pretty rough. It’s been good to see some more of Evan being a bit like the old orphan x

Also Evan seems a bit more ocd in this one than normal but that’s ok he’s trying to juggle his new life. Mia and him seem somewhat stable in this one which is cool. And I like Evan and Joey relationship, with it making the case personal given that the kidnapped girl is the around the same age as Joey

Wasn’t a complete and utter psychopath. Like the other guy is a fricking characature of an evil man, smoking crack and road hauling people all over the place. & Aragon’s workers are like a big dysfunctional family, whereas the baddies off siders are the absolute worst creeps.
So far there has been lots of philosophical talks between Evan & Aragon which seems like a bit of a waste of time given the circumstances

I am enjoying this one more than the last one but I’m not 100% sure about the ‘cartel’ guy, I understand that people are inherently grey but it feels like they’re really hamming up him being a ‘good guy’ in a bad business. Like him making the sofa bed for Evan and literally settling a crying baby while hearing out his people. I think this depth of character would make more sense if the other cartel bad->
