Graceland - Episode 1.09 - Smoke Alarm - Preview with Teasers

First of all, this is certainly a must-see episode. So many things are happening at once and even though it's a very action-packed hour, you can also expect to see some significant, emotional moments. There are a lot of answers and a few urgent questions to be asked after the episode, starting, most likely, with: what just happened!? But before you'll get there, here's how the things are at the beginning.

After the events of last episode, the war between the cartels is set in motion and it becomes a big problem for Graceland. Charlie continues to search for Odin and her hunt leads her towards an unexpected ally. Also, Mike is struggling with all the lies around him and begins to question others' motives. Briggs, meanwhile, has to face his past in the way he might not see coming.
I really enjoyed this episode, it's a thrilling hour and has to be one of my favorites if not the best one yet. It provides us with more background to some of the characters and makes their choices and motives much clearer. Actors get their opportunity to shine in some scenes, which might end up getting mentioned in the other article I usually write. But since it's a spoiler free preview, I'll just say that, in my opinion, dedication, desperation and obsession are what drives this episode and with absolutely great results.

And here's a few teasers for you:

"In the place like Graceland, sometimes it’s good to keep secrets."
At least one BIG secret is revealed.
"…It’s gonna get real bloody, real fast."
At least two people are seriously hurt.
"We can PROVE what really happened."
Some friends stay where they're needed and some prefer to walk away.
"I respect your opinion, but you’re wrong. Dead wrong."
Someone makes either their best or worst choice in this episode.
Cliffhanger!

I prefer not to give episodes any scores, especially after seeing them just once, but on the SpoilerTV scale from Awful to Awesome this episode gets AWESOME from me!
