- DirectorGwyneth Horder-PaytonStarsMichael ChiklisCatherine DentPaula GarcésAs he puts a price on Shane's head, Vic is asked to prove his loyalty to Beltran by killing Pezuela.Best scene: hmm, it’s hard to pick. Unlike episodes like kavanaugh or chasing ghosts where the final scene makes the ep a 10/10 and it’s by far the best scene, this episode is packed with amazing scenes throughout. However, even though it’s an easy 10/10, I don’t think it has any of the best scenes in the show. So I guess I’d say the best scene is Shane playing the piano while Mara and Jackson play hide and seek. Such a beautiful moment, and it’s even more harrowing after hearing Shane’s chilling “family meeting” line. Some other contenders are Ronnie wanting to go on the run, shane getting robbed, and shane and Mara getting caught by that real-estate lady.
