[S2E5] Ties That Bind
Back in the present day, Baptiste drags Will (who, let's be clear, is a prisoner) to Zsofia's building, where he locks the kid into the server cage. With her son unable to escape, Emma asks to cut the cable ties that bind his wrists. But Baptiste has already had enough regrets about how Alex went down. He's not letting Will free, and he's not wrong. Will's phone contains a recorded message, claiming responsibility for an upcoming massacre. But far worse for Emma is the reality inherent in that statement: Will speaks. She begs for an explanation, insists they can fix it, but Baptiste impatiently dismisses that. There is another massacre planned. If they can get Will to talk, they can do what they failed to do at Józsefváros: stop it.
Panti Bliss talks of her own ties that bind and her guests include Sorca McGrath of the Choice Music Prize winning band Ships with her partner Simon Cullen, as well as Maynooth hip hop duo Max Zanga & Matt Ó Baoill, aka Tebi Rex.
But first, a quick catch-up: Resident party boi and Ho family heir, Washington, is now sober and focusing on his kids and marriage to Lesley, the pragmatic pharmacist from a more modest Midwestern upbringing. (Remember how, in Season 1, she immediately made a beeline to the sale rack during that private jet shopping jaunt?!) Lawyer Judy finds love again with the sweet, dashing Nate Nguyen, and welcomes his endearingly straightforward siblings into the fold, with all its gossip and fabulous parties.
