He pulls the trigger in an act of brutal efficiency.īut there’s still one more would-be assassin prowling the hospital’s halls. Blows are exchanged but Hood manages to get a gun under his attacker’s chin. Theirs is a knockdown, drag-out fight that nearly destroys the small hospital room. It’s lucky for Job that Hood finds him first-his concussion has left him too weak to be any good in the fight that ensues with assassin number one. Hood and Carrie split up-he goes looking for Job, she seeks out the priest’s assassins.

Which brings us to the episode’s second action scene. Hood and Carrie arrive at the hospital just as two men disguised as priests go room to room in search of Job. When it comes to Rabbit, it’s an all-or-nothing proposition. Denial is a powerful aphrodisiac, but this revelation is too much for Gordon to bear with grace.įearing for Job’s safety, and knowing that her father is still alive, Carrie and Hood quickly leave Gordon in their rearview mirror. What is Gordon’s breaking point? How much can he handle before he finally snaps? When Gordon draws a gun on Hood, Carrie confesses to both men that Hood is Deva’s father. We saw what happened to Emmett when he was pushed too far. That it turns out to be Hood only adds insult to injury for Gordon. Asking her to spend the night is a great step in the right direction, but their passionate reconciliation is interrupted by a late-night visitor. He wants to make things right-with himself, with his kids, and especially with Carrie. After weeks of wallowing in self-pity, Gordon is acutely aware of the damage caused by his absence. This doesn’t stop Gordon from trying to reconcile with his wife. In some ways, the same could be said of Gordon and Carrie, whose entire marriage was built on a foundation of lies.

She’s known this about him for quite some time, but when a panicked phone call from Job cuts their night short, she finally understands that what she and Hood share is just a facsimile of affection. No matter how close they may hold one another, Hood will still manage to keep Siobhan at arm’s length. And yet, it’s all these two have, this false intimacy.

Hood, on the other hand, believes that the law is nothing more than a set of arbitrary rules.Īgain, this sort of talk doesn’t scream romance. Siobhan supports Emmett but not his actions. Vigilante justice doesn’t make for great pillow talk-even for two cops. Meanwhile, back in Banshee, Hood and Siobhan are going through the motions of another night together. He knows it’s only a matter of time before Rabbit tracks him down. He can barely sit up, much less get out of Dodge. He dashes into traffic but gets knocked off his feet by a speeding car. Job finally chooses flight over fight, and hightails it out of the church while he still can. Rabbit may be injured, but he’s still under heavy protection. He takes down the priest’s henchmen with ruthless efficiency-whether it’s hand-to-hand combat or as a dual-gun wielding, bullet-spewing force of nature. But when it comes to Rabbit, Job is all about brute force. He operates with a light touch, changing an ID here, expunging records there-and occasionally he’ll cut power to a certain Dutchman’s slaughterhouse if he’s feeling frisky. When it comes to hacking, Job’s skills are without question. First up is Job, who has tracked Rabbit down in New York City. Tonight’s episode of Banshee , “Homecoming,” is bookended by top-notch action scenes.
