Ray has always had a habit of falling into dangerous situations.
The cop wont give up, pulling a baton and knocking Ray out.
They really save lives in NYC.
He refuses and stumbles upon his cop savior in a bar in Staten Island.
Over a few scenes, Ray will basically learn that his savior could use some saving himself.
Like Ray, Mac is a semi-drunk who has been affected by cancer.
His dad died of it before they could finish the bike they were working on.
Hes going through a divorce, and even has a kid whos getting beat up in school.
Mac could use a friend, and Ray decides to become one.
Sure, Mac saved him, but Ray barely wanted that.
Maybe Mac reminds him of his brothers, a good-hearted man given some bad beats by life.
This is what NYC does to LA people hipster beards and 15 pounds.
And thats when Sam Winslow calls Ray with a new job.
He learns that Anita had a one-night stand with a stranger and caught him taping the action.
A fight ensued, and now she needs that recording.
Before the ending thatRay Donovanfans probably saw coming, we catch up with the other Donovans very briefly.
He gets a bedpan, fills it with tobacco and water, and drinks the concoction.
Then he works out, giving himself a heart attack.
Good work, Mick.
Totally gross, but good work.
She seems happy as well.
Both of their happiness will likely be short-lived.
It isRay Donovan, after all.
Weve got a new ally in Mac, and a new client in Anita.
Thats one big problem, but it doesnt compare to the one that ends the episode.
She found her potential blackmailer, and they agreed on a price.
So why is he dead on the politicians floor?
Internet, get on that.
Allen Coulter directed this episode!
I love bookends like that.
She was so great onThe Sopranos.
Nice to see her again.
Hes always a welcome face.
Im glad Terry practically winced at a Rays NY Yankees hat.
I think its actually a crime for a Boston native to wear one.
