Ambitious - /amˈbiSHəs/ having or showing a strong desire and determination to succeed.
The climb to the top can be filled with obstacles and land mines. Some can maneuver around them, others bulldoze through it.
[SPOILERS]
For Heather, she has a tank that she uses full throttle to achieve her ultimate goal - success. The episode opens with Heather meeting with her new client, Sir. Even though her firm has provided new amenities for him (the man has a window in his private cell!), there is only one thing he truly desires - Gabrielle. Sir will not take a plea deal for kidnapping. Not with a 30 year price tag. Heather leans in and reminds Sir that Gabi won't see him in jail, but if they go to trial, he will get what his heart desires. Seeking out Gabi, Heather tells her Sir does not plan to take the plea deal. Gabi is surprised by this news, but it’s Heather comparing them as equals that leaves her bewildered.
“You are an ambitious woman like me,” said Heather. “We are nothing alike,” Gabi said. And this theme reiterates at the end of the episode when Trent and Heather finally lay their cards on the table.
Heather appears at Trent’s job and asks why is he avoiding her? Are you in love with Gabi? For Trent, he doesn’t understand how she can defend Sir after he went into his home, stole his gun and had it used to shoot her. For Trent, his integrity is important, she just wants a career.
“Gabi protects the innocent, you are protecting a monster – I can’t be with someone like that..it’s over heather.” And so the love story of Trent and Heather has concluded. Is anyone surprised?
Jamie continues to teeter between his past and present. Reaching out to Trent, Jamie cautiously probes for information: how much time would someone get for abducting a child? If he doesn’t say anything, will he be an accessory? We can tell Jamie cares for the person who took him, but Trent reminds him that he is the Victim. But maybe Jamie doesn’t feel that way. How do you reconcile a wrong that hurt so many people?
The case of the week is filled with twists and turns that had the M&A team spooling different threads. Peter, An EMT who was accused of administering the wrong medication to a patient, was kidnapped in broad daylight. Sir reaches out to Trent at his job to provide assistance. But of course Trent shuts the offer down. As the team gathers clues to find Peter, we learn his partner, Amy, was the one who administered the wrong medicine and had her boyfriend Owen kidnap Peter. On top of that, it turns out Owen’s mother reported the incident because she overheard Amy and Owen’s conversation. Like I said, lots of twists and turns. The plot took another interesting pivot when Gabi found Peter in her basement, with a note under him that said “You’re Welcome, More to come.” Maybe Sir found a way to help after all?
Lacey and Zeke seem to have been keeping their distance after their kiss in the last episode. Margaret notices a change and slowly nudges a little info from Lacey. It was a sweet moment to see two friends talk about their personal life. For Lacey, everything is complicated and she doesn’t want to lose her best friend. For Margaret, she has been avoiding her daughter,
Taylor, because Jamie is not ready to be brought back into the family. Just normal girl chat over coffee.
As the episode closes, Dhan finds cigarette buds outside of Gabi’s home. They are the same brand Jamie smokes. Is Jamie stalking Gabi? Determined to keep his family intact, Dhan said he will look into it. He just got Gabi back and he will not lose her again.
Leaving us with another cliffhanger, Sir gets a visitor, but it’s not someone I anticipated. And neither did Sir.
“Nice to see you Jamie,” Sir said. Yes - that Jamie! And now we wait for the next episode. Found airs on Thursday nights, stream next day on Peacock.
