Obviously this Ryan / Joe partnership will lead into season 3 sitcom

I'd really like to know who has personally killed more people at this point: Joe or Ryan? I think Hardy might have the edge.

Will tonight be the night that Max and Mike finally hook-up? It seems like it's been long overdue, though I suppose hunting serial killers and Weston having his father brutally murdered isn't exactly the ultimate aphrodisiac.

By life changing decision I'm going to guess Weston bangs Mike's niece.

So just like in Star Trek, the red shirts (in this case jackets) got taken down

I'm glad Lily's last thoughts were of how sorely she screwed herself by fucking with Westin. Though to be honest, I would have loved if she had lived, only to have a situation to where Joe kills her sons or something like that, just to watch her character spiral further downward with hate and obsession. She was such a bitch, it would have been glorious to us and unending torture to her to watch her rot in prison as Joe carves away her family.
Or maybe I'm just evil.

Last night's episode was one of the best of the entire season. We finally got to see a meeting between Joe and Ryan face-to-face. Their conversations are always delightful. I particularly liked this instance:
Ryan: "I'm not your friend, Joe."
Joe: "You're my best friend, Ryan."
Also, the highlight of the episode was when Mike killed Lily. It was such a tense moment, and you could see Mike's anger and hatred building up to the point where he couldn't resist shooting her.

I know we all know this, but I'm so impressed with Purefoy's acting, and it was only epitomized by this episode. I love how he still has his obsession with Ryan and can't kill even though every one else is telling him too. His madness and his blindness towards the situation is pulled off superbly IMHO

Did lilly's twin sons get away? It seems incredibly unlikely because they were on foot close to korbin and thats where the FBI was too

Did anyone else think the mercenary arc in relation to Lily was unusually weak? The FBI, with all of their technology, can't track Carroll because he's masking, but Lily can, simply because "she has the money". Then this world class merc gets traced because he uses a traceable alias to rent a van THAT HAS GPS? Surely he would've been able to prevent both of those things. Then Hardy goes on a killing spree and takes out the whole squad of organized, experienced, and better-armed mercs? I can't suspend my belief that much. Not to mention the whole thing at the end with the twins setting up Weston's triple-tap: "Don't go" - 5 minutes later, FUCKING STANDING TOGETHER "Where'd [one of the four people who was just here, and we're in the middle of nowhere] go?" Don't get me wrong, I loved this episode, but goddamnit writers, y'all are getting lazy /rant

I wonder if Hardy has the Indiana Jones punch of doom. Only thing missing is that leathery sound.

He had to kill her, it's the way his character has been going all season.

The interactions between Joe and Ryan have always been my favourite part of this show, so I'm trilled to see them getting some serious face time together this episode. I think that's something that's been sorely missing this season.
