Its been a rough week for Jim.

Gary OMalley is taken into custody, and he contacts Ray to help.

Theyre going to hit the road.

And do what with the stocks exactly?

Sell them at a gas station?

Open up a stock-selling stand?

The Donovans, especially Daryll, never think through their hare-brained schemes.

Daryll wont have to worry about actually selling them.

Hell have cold hard cash.

Terry still has a vicious right jab.

What could Jim have to do with that?

Was the guy who acted like a supportive father figure to Ray responsible for the death of his sister?

Clearly, this isnt a red herring and Jim Sullivan didsomethingthat pushed Bridget over the edge.

A reference in the flashbacks to Bridget saying Mr. Sullivan will give me a ride feels ominous.

Did he assault her or actually kill her and make it look like a suicide?

What will Ray do when he finds out the details?

They pull guns on him.

You want to talk?, says Ray.

What could he possibly say?

Is there a way to make it believable that he could have a chance to do so?

Ray has the tapes that reveal a major businessman to be the head of a criminal empire.

Could he use those as leverage to protect himself and his family?

This might be Ray Donovans toughest clean-up job yet.

Deleted Scenes

Its a shame we havent seen more of Kerris Dorsey this year.

Hopefully she gets a richer arc in the final third.

It reminds you how underrated this show can be in terms of visual storytelling.

Wouldnt someone have found the surveillance tapes at Ronnies house before Ray?

Why wouldnt Gary himself have gone to get them before taking shots at Jim?

Ray has been creatively solving problems for decades.

Where do we go in the final third?

How do you expect them to do so this time?
