A strong, powerful, relationship-driven episode on three fronts. Gordo and Tracy continue to be inextricably bound together despite the bickering tension between them and Margo throws an olive branch out to reunite with Aleida.

The pièce de résistance, though, is the moving scene with the Baldwins. Yet another superb performance from Shantel VanSanten ably supported this time by Joel Kinnaman portraying a heartrending array of emotions shifting through the scene.
