Mercedesended with an incredibly tense thriller sequence that was the highlight of the season so far for me.

Ida is the first-responder in this case.

This has shaken her quite a bit.

Thankfully for Bill, the homicide is easy enough to explain.

Bill and Montez, of course, know that theres more to it than that.

But that will be tough to explain.

It will be even tougher for them to act against Brady once Felix Babineau finally gets what hes wanted.

The last time we saw Brady, hisinternal mind-caveexploded after Bill killed Al.

We see Brady waking up on the floor of his destroyed cave.

Holly, though, has other ideas.

Felix could sure use a win with Brady because hes losing his contest with Cora.

He may have won their battle last week, but shes still winning the war.

In retaliation for himholding her passport hostage, shes now helping her pharmaceutical partners exile him from the project.

Instead, the attorney general now wants to prosecute Brady himself.

I really like how this season has showcased the conditions under which evil is allowed to grow and thrive.

I suspect there will be more dead bodies to come.

Thats not even her only major character development this episode.

This is followed by an apparition of Brady in his ice-cream-man uniform whispering to a sleeping Bill.

When Bill wakes up, he immediately drives to the hospital where Brady is nowhere to be found.

Ill admit, I was a little confused by the structure of these last 10 or so minutes.

First, we see Brady about to be transferred, until Felix stops it.

Then Bill arrives shortly after, and Bradys gone.

Its a little too confusing to be a cliffhanger.
