I'm glad the Gloria stuff is working for people, but I just don't care about her. What little we've seen from her is gruff, condescending, and not entitled but that similar type of expectant law enforcement personality. You can tell she's a character that's used to whipping out a badge and bullrushing through situations, which I inherently dislike.
Another idea I had, which is equally as farfetched as anything, is that maybe Hawley was hinting at some kind of spectrum disorder? Gloria not understanding very basic sayings kind of pricked my ears up to that. And then you look at the uncomfortable way she interacts with most people and she's not really in tune with social gestures. The hug, while sweet, had tinges of that like Gloria doesn't like or really understand physical affection. To me, that's a more interesting angle than just a cold cop that's tired of everything.
Earlier Varga made the claim the IRS were so incompetent they couldn't crack his operation if they had his account numbers. But he seems pretty worried by Nikki having his files.
And has Meemo not told Varga about Wrench? Because after the prison bus and the truck hijacking someone in Vargas operation should've predicted that Nikki has help
How dangerous a WW2 grenade (of which there probably is a handful of those still floating around that we brought back from the war) is today is a largely academic discussion but that's not the discussion you have when it's chucked in your car. And I guarantee you if you called 911 and told the dispatcher you found a pineapple grenade in the park you'd see the full bomb squad respond. There is way too many factors in old explosives to know how stable or dangerous they are
Minor gripe. I don't think the IRS guy should be able to see the envelope *before* swiveling the chair around. Unless he has x-ray eyes.
