Ace and Grant!

This was absolutely beautiful. I love Ace and Grant learning to be brothers while in the midst of a crisis.

An Ace episode

So Ace has been one of the best characters in this show but this episode did not showcase him well for me. The episode started off with a flashback of how Ace has been blowing off Grant the whole time Grant was trying to connect with him, which is not a good look at all. Then we find out Grant needs help bc his mom is being threatened. To save his mom the crew needs to hand over a list of witness names, which I really thought they would be smarter about this but they weren't. I was thinking they would change the names on the list or they also had the opportunity to get the bad guy arrested somehow, but instead Nancy asked Celia to retrieve the list after they gave it to the bad guy. Which they got the list back but how do they know the bad guy didn't make a copy or take a picture of the list before they got it back? Not to mention in exchange for Celia helping her, Nancy has to redact her statement against Everett Hudson. That really hurts Nancy's character to me bc now she's helping a mass murderer, but you would think there'd be enough evidence without Nancy's testimony to lock him up, but it's still very sketchy. We also find out that all of Everett's bad deeds were paid for through accounts that were in Ryan's name, which spells trouble for Ryan. The Ace and Grant brother stuff was awkward and cringey, but I did think it was sweet when Grant met his dad. We also got some sideplot on George connecting with her sisters bc of Odette and George finds out about Bess's thing for Odette. So it seems like Odette is having a positive effect on George's relationships? Overall it wasn't a bad episode, but the characters and mystery didn't really hit.
