UPatrick St. Esprit njengoRandall Dyckman kunye noLiev Schreiber njengoRay Donovan.UMichael Desmond / ixesha lokubonisa Ngaphezulu kwayo yonke enye into, URay Donovan ngumboniso oqhubeka ubuza imibuzo malunga nenqanaba. Akukho ndawo inye apho iinguqu zamandla zingangqalanga ngqo kwiziganeko. Amaqhinga kaRay ngokungakhathali akha kwaye aqhekeze wonke umntu omngqongileyo, ngamanye amaxesha amatyeli amaninzi kwisiqendu. Ayisoze loo nto ibonakale kule veki kunakuConor, othuke ngendlela eyoyikisayo nolona luhlu lweveki. Iminqweno yeConor engathandekiyo yenkwenkwe embi iye yandiva, kuba zibonakala zinzima kwaye zilapho. I-Texan isonga loo ndlela ithile, ndinga ndingathi, ubuhle beemvakalelo. Emva kokubanjwa nguLarry, ummelwane owabetha indlu (kwaye ngubani owalinda iintsuku eziliqela ngaphambi kokujongana noRay, ndiyaqikelela?) URay uthatha uConor kwindlela eya edolophini ukuze amfundise isifundo malunga nokuba ngumntu onzima, kodwa kungenjalo ngaphambi kokuba uConor angene kwezakhe izibhamu. Uyagula utata wakhe, umnyangi waseHollywood wokunyanzelisa. Uyagula ngokungqongwa bubuzalwana obudala besikolo eIreland utata wakhe, kwaye umama wakhe ungowakhe. Ngokuthe ngqo ngenxa yomsebenzi kaRay, kunye nokusebenza kwakhe ngokukhusela usapho, uConor ukhule ethambile, enelungelo. Angaba njani ngokwenene abe nguDonovan xa echithe ubomi bakhe bonke kwindlu enkulu yeCalabasas?
Isiqendu sale veki sibizwa ngokuba yiThe Texan, kwaye ngelixa ebonakala kuphela kwindawo enye kwisiqendu sonke (kunye nomnqwazi wakhe kamva, emva kokuba eswelekile. Iitekisi zithanda iminqwazi! Yisikweko!) Ubukho bakhe bubonakala ngaphezulu kwesiqendu ngeendlela ezininzi. Kukho ukufana okutsaliwe phakathi kobudlelwane bukaRay noEzra kunye noRay nonyana wakhe. Wakukhusela kwimiba emnyama, kid. I-Texan iyaminxa. Eyona nto imnyama: yayiyindawo yam. Ukuqala kukaRay ukufunda ngakumbi nangakumbi ukuba ngaphezulu kwembumba akukususi kumcimbi omnyama, kuthetha nje ukuba unokwabela abanye.
Kuyinyani ukuba, njengoko bethe phithi njengokuba abakwaDonovans benolu luvo lokhuseleko kunye nobumbano, kufuneka kubekho ukwahlula ukuba ngubani kanye kanye onyanzelisa oko, kwaye ngubani oxhamlayo. Okwesibini kwiiveki ezimbini, uDaryl unyanzelekile ukuba enze umsebenzi oyingozi, ongenambulelo wokubamba izinto kunye. Ngeli xesha, umsebenzi wakhe kukuthatha uJoxy Maguire (sp?) Kwikhadi ekulweni no-Archie Whittaker. Indawo kaJoxy ithathe indawo kaHector Campos kumlo okoko uMarisol ekugqibeleni wangena kumabonwakude ukuveza ubudlelwane bakhe kunye nomntakwabo. UDaryl ufumanisa ukuba uMaguire ubhiyozela, kwaye emva kokunikezela ngokufanelekileyo igama elinguPseudonym, uFrank… uhh… uGuinness, uba ngumhlobo kaMaguire, umlandela ngaphandle, kwaye umbona kakuhle ngeqhina lobhedu. Yimbonakalo encinci embi, kwaye ibonakalisa okuncinci kuDaryl kunokuba kunjalo kubantu abambeke kuloo meko. Ukuba isilungisi sikaRay, uDaryl ngumphathi wesandla, kwaye ukulangazelela kwakhe ukudlala NAYiphi na inxaxheba kwishishini losapho kuya kupela ingxaki kungekudala.
Ubuncinci, ndinethemba kuphela njalo. URay Donovan ngokungangqalanga i-episodic kangangokuba nayiphi na imisonto evulekileyo ishiye ijinga kwisiqendu sangaphambili nje… inyamalale ngexesha apho isiqendu esilandelayo sijikeleza. Ekuqaleni kwesiqendu kule veki, bobabini uCochran kunye neThe Texan baphathwa ngamanxeba abo emipu (kwaye baphantsi kwemibuzo yamapolisa ngokupheleleyo?) Kunye nokuphuma kukaMickey ejele. Zombini ezi nkqubela phambili zifuna okungaphezulu kunomboniso usixelela ukuba konke kwenziwe ngoku! Masiqhubeke! Kukuhamba umboniso usebenzisa okuninzi, kwaye ngelixa kulungile ukuya phambili. Kubi ukubalisa amabali.
Ibali lethu le-B ngeli xesha lililo lihamba ngendlela eyi-Mickey yendlela engu-2.0, ngeli xesha ekhwele neBunchy ukuya kuhlangula uTheresa kwisibhedlele sabagula ngengqondo. Indawo, sifumanisa ngeMarco, ebeye kumaxesha amaninzi ngaphambi kokuba azinze. Amandla omboniso wokulinganisa i-capers ngethoni yayo ubukhulu yenye yezona zinto zisisiseko kuzo, kwaye ayikaze icace gca okanye iyonwabise kunangexesha lokukhala kukaBunchy ecela uTheresa ukuba abuyele ekhaya, kanye ecaleni kwendlela uMickey aguqulwa ngayo sesinye isigulana kwiziko. Izibophelelo ezibini zokubulawa kwabantu baseAlbino ngaphambi kokuba uMickey atsalwe, beqhankqalaza Kwakulungile!
Imizamo kaBunchy yokukhulula inkosikazi yakhe, kokubini ngokoqobo nangokomfuziselo (woooaaahhhh) iphumelele kakhulu kamva. Kuko konke ukungalingani kwalo mboniso weveki-ukuya-veki, ukuphathwa kwayo kwe-Irish-American e-Bunchy, isimo sengqondo sokunciphisa ukugula ngengqondo, kunye nokuzimisela kwakhe ukuba novelwano kunye nokuwina umfazi wakhe, kugqibelele. Akayiyo ingcali yonyango, kodwa ibali lakhe lobuntwana lokubalekela kuWonder Woman liqhinga. Kuye, u-Theresa nguMfazi wakhe oMangalisayo, kwaye nangona kunjalo, uzimisele ukumthatha njengokuba kunjalo ngoku. Uncumo lukaTheresa olungenakucimeka njengoko eshiya igumbi yintsimbi entle yokwenza into. Emva endleleni, uMickey ukhumbula uSylvie aze acengceleze umbongo kumntu amkhumbulayo njengoE. Ukuhla. Akukho zihloko, akukho maxesha… Ewe uMickey uyamthanda uEE Cummings. Uphefumlelwe ngoyise omtsha wokukhula ngokweemvakalelo, wenza ukucima uhola wendlela. Ndiyifumene intombazana yam, uthi, masihambe siyokuthatha eyakho.
Ukuthetha ngokwenza okumangalisayo, uEddie Marsan eneneni unezinto azenzayo zeli phulo! Olunjani unyango. Ukuhlawuliswa kukaTerry ngokugcina iso kuHector ngelixa uRay ezama ukumbuyisela ekhadini, kunye nokutshintsha kwakhe kwangoko kwisiqendu esivela kumntwana onjengomntwana ngethemba lokuba nelinye lawona magama makhulu kumdlalo wamanqindi amkele indawo yokuzivocavoca njengeziko lakhe loqeqesho, ukuya ukuphoxeka kokuwa kukaHector kubabalo, izandla zikaMarsan uluhlu alunako ngaphezu kokulinako. Okwangoku, eyona nto iphambili apha kukubona zombini iterry kunye noHector bechitha kwaye benokhuphiswano lwe-pushup. Abantu baseDonovans bazi ngcono kunayo nayiphi na enye usapho lweTV: xa kuhamba ubunzima, shaya utywala wenze into esisidenge.
Uhambo lukaRay kule veki, akuba eye wanyanyekelwa yiConor, nalo alufutshane kubunewunewu. Isicwangciso sakhe esiqinisekisiweyo sokubuyisela uHector emfazweni kuqala kubandakanya ukukholisa uStu Feldman ukuba iifedesi ziphezu kwakhe ngokubukela iphonografi yabantwana (akanguye, kwaye abekho). Ngokukhawuleza xa uLena echitha isilumkiso se-FBI kwikhompyuter yakhe ngexesha levidiyo yoko kuchazwa yibar yakhe njenge-shemale solo handjobs, utsala ibhulukhwe yakhe phezulu, aphose umnyango wakhe kwaye akhwaze athi mandifumane uRay Donovan! URay uyavuma ukuba ingxaki ihambe okoko nje uStu emenza ukuba aqine: thatha uRandall Dyckman, umququzeleli womlo, igalufa. Kubonakala kulula ngokwaneleyo, akunjalo? I-Stu ayixoxwanga. Iphonografi yabantwana intle kakhulu, uRay uyamkhumbuza, ekhokelela kutshintshiselwano endiluthandayo ngoku ngokwesiko secandelo lesiqendu:
Wayenamabele kunye nedick! Ugqibele nini ukubona umntwana ophethe amabele kunye nedick ?!
Ukubetha.
Andiqinisekanga ukuba ungayiphendula njani, Stu.
Injongo kaStu ingqina ukuba iyimpumelelo, kwaye enkosi kwizibuko zelanga zekhathuni ezikumgangatho ophezulu ezirekhoda ngokulula ividiyo ye-HD kunye nesandi, ufumana ividyo kliphu efanelekileyo ye-Dyckman icebisa ukuba bakhe udonga olujikeleze ubufazi bomfazi wakhe ukuze kugcinwe izihlunu. Yikes. Iyakwenza njalo.
Kwaye ke umva kaHector ekhadini, u-Joxy ulele ukopha kwi-alleyway, kwaye uTerry unomsebenzi omtsha njengenxalenye yeqela loqeqesho likaHector. Ngokunyanisekileyo andazi ukuba eli bali liyaphi, kodwa kwakumnandi ukufumana uRay ekugqibeleni ebandakanyeka kumxholo webali likaHector, owawukhula ngakumbi kwaye ungenamsebenzi ngeveki.
Njengoko benditshilo ekuqaleni, inqanaba yinto yonke URay Donovan . Iyadlula, iyadlula, kwaye ayinamthetho kwaphela. Unokuba yeyona arhente inkulu eHollywood, oyena mxhasi uphambili kumdlalo wamanqindi. Unokuba nguRay Donovan, kodwa inkunkuma yendoda yenye yobuncwane bomnye umntu. URay akasoze anqwenele indlela yakhe yokuphila kubantwana bakhe, kodwa ikwayinto ebanike ubunewunewu bokumcaphukisa (uConor, ubuncinci. UBridget kwakhona uhlala engekho #wreresbridget). Isiqendu siphela ngento endandiyikhwaza iiveki: okwenyani, unxibelelwano, umzuzu womntu kubo bobabini uRay noConor. URay wayengumntwana ombi, naye. Uthi. Kwaye ndingene engxakini, uhlobo lwengxaki, kunzima ukubuya kuyo.
Ngaba uRay Donovan uyayithanda into ayenzayo? Ungubani? Isiqendu siphela ngesiquphe emva komgca ovela kuRay onokuba yeyona nto ndiyithandayo kweli xesha. Yintuthuzelo. Sisilumkiso esibandayo. Mhlawumbi, kungokuvuma ityala. Unyoko nam, sohlukile kuni bafo. Sizama konke okusemandleni ukuyigcina injalo. Sineziqendu ezimbalwa eziseleyo zexesha lesine, kwaye siyazi ukuba isihlanu sisendleleni, kodwa mhlawumbi lixesha lokuqala ukubuza: Ngubani oza kuphila URay Donovan , Kwaye ngubani oza kusinda kuRay Donovan?
