But at this point, it doesn’t really matter.
Meanwhile, Connie is chasing a lead of her own.
Is it all connected?
Will there be satisfying twists and riveting turns?
Most of it seems rather expected.
We already know Lance Hornsby is tired of living under Pamela Milton’s thumb.
We also got the impression previously that he has plans of his own to reshape the Commonwealth.
More of that gets revealed this week with the unveiling of what is basically the city’s deep state.
Stephanie, it turns out, isn’t really Stephanie.
And why is she only now coming to Eugene?
Meanwhile, Lance is making moves outside the Commonwealth’s walls.
The smugglers have gone on strike, demanding they receive raises for their work.
Carol learns that Moto is pocketing the extra money and beating his lieutenants to keep quiet.
She relays this to Lance and he promptly removes Moto from the equation.
This leads to more questions.
Why did Lance need to get rid of Moto?
Will he appoint Carol to head the poppy smugglers?
What’s the play here?
But Connie is working on her Diane Sawyer investigation and surely will uncover some truths.
Despite urgings from her editor, Connie can’t drop the story.
She spots Mercer going to see Tyler, under armed guard, in the hospital.
(Wonder what big brother will have to say about any romantic feelings between Max and Eugene.)
But it seems Mercer is just as out of the loop on the Tyler situation as everyone.
It’s now clearer why Eugene’s cork board overfloweth.
There are a lot of moving parts to this.
