Vegas 1.14 reaction post. SPOILERS.
Overall, it was a good episode. Jack is apparently an idiot when he’s under stress and pressure. I mean he all but wrote “I DID IT” in this episode. I think Ralph has an inkling but is fighting it maybe. Sometimes you can’t tell with Ralph. The side mystery was interesting. It helped flesh Dixon out a bit more but they could have done more fleshing.
Beware of spoilers. Please keep in mind while reading the reaction post, I write it as I watch, so if something seems amiss, I was making assumptions that got answered later.
It’s too bad we’re doing this storyline so early in the show. I hope they don’t drop the ball and let Jack off too easy.
I should have known they’d bring this song into this episode. So very appropriate.
Jack, you are so effing lucky that you’re on a retro show. But, at the same time, he’s not lucky at all.
Oh, Dixon. “How do you say, ‘What’s your room number?’”
Oh good. They know each other.
Of course, you’re going to do time.
That’s some really cute hair on Mia.
”I don’t know.” Oh, Jack. Oh, Jack. Oh, Jack, you terrible idiot.
Of course Savino knows. Why else would it be Jack alone with him right now?
I wonder if they’ll think to get the prints off the faucet handles?
Mia’s very intelligent. She’ll figure the full story out eventually. Maybe not immediately but eventually.
Why would he want to torture Savino? Yes, thank you, Ralph. My question exactly.
Oh, Jack, don’t start acting weird. Your brother is going to catch on.
Oh, Jack. You’re a horrible liar. Come on, Ralph, get your instincts churning.
Well, Katherine is getting the Savino suspect train starting.
OMFG. “undercover as a shady guy.” Oh, Dixon, you sweet little cream puff.
I know where they are! I can show you. Oh, Jesus, Dixon.
Sneaky. Sneaky, Savino. But will Mia fall for it? She is really smart.
Come on, Jack, it’s a motel room. The third man could be anyone if we go by fingerprints.
Dixon, you are not owning that leather jacket.
What if the guy comes around and shoots Dixon’s friend?
Random rain in Vegas. Are you going to cause the friend to spin out and die in a crash maybe?
Car’s coming apart. And there’s the skid and…wtf explosion. We didn’t need the explosion.
Ah. Right. It was a house not a motel. Why did I remember that wrong?
Jack, stop being suspicious.
Oh, good. We didn’t kill the friend in the crash.
Tonight’s the night of the cute hair.
lol “And she also gave me her number.” Oh, Ralph.
Oh, Mia, baby. Hugs for Mia.
But, Mia is right. She needs to find out both of you are involved here. But, of course, Jack doesn’t know Savino is also involved.
”I want to be head of casino operations.” I love you so hard right now, Mia.
It’s bad cop and bad cop.
I like Katherine’s direct approach.
Jack, stop being suspicious.
Oh, Katherine, baby. I don’t know if Laura is a bargaining chip.
Dixon, what are you doing?
Ah, divorce papers. The plot thickens.
Ralph, are you trying to freak Jack out on purpose? Are you trying to make him confess to you or would you have said that that way if you didn’t know?
Oh, Jack, you idiot. Lying all over the place and you didn’t even wipe the gun down.
Children, children, please. We know you knew each other in school, but seriously.
Ah, this kid. He wants to work at the Savoy maybe?
JACK. JACK. I SWEAR TO GOD. Not only are you being an idiot editing with a pen on a pencil thing, you are being an idiot editing anything at all.
I mean if ever there was a SUSPICIOUS thing in that folder it would be the one that’s written in pen and pencil.
Come on, Jack, everyone knew Mia would take the job.
