Catching Trouble

Dad's office. Eric and Dad are very cranky because Jake has found Jonah and wants to arrange for him to be brought in peacefully. You'd think they'd be happier about it. Dad explains that if anyone finds out that Jake helped to hide Jonah from the posse, they'll all be in trouble. Jake shares Jonah's story about being framed by Mitchell, and says that it could be true. Dad goes on yelling that they need to go bring Jonah in, and Jake rightly snaps, "That's what I came here for!" Then Good Cop lets Emily in, and she announces, "He's gone." Oopsie.

And then it's night. Jonah dashes across a road as an SUV zooms up behind him. He rolls down an embankment as we hear the posse in hot pursuit. After a little more scampering around, Jonah finally collapses as the posse surrounds him.

Cut to the posse arriving in town with Jonah. The crowd of men whoops and applauds as Gray hauls Jonah up the steps of Town Hall. Jake watches unhappily, and does his head-pat of vexation.

When we return from the commercials, Bad Cop is swearing in newly-elected Mayor Gray Anderson on the steps of Town Hall. Huh. So it's two days later, I guess? It seems like an awful lot of stuff is happening in between the scenes we see. Mom and Dad join the crowd in applauding. Gray makes another speech, announcing that his first act as mayor is to order distribution of the supplies from the food drop. Everyone applauds enthusiastically. Gray goes on to say that Gracie's murderer "will be held to account." In his cell, Jonah listens sadly as Gray adds that justice will be swift and sure. Mom and Dad don't join in the applause this time. I guess they're opposed to justice. Though, considering Mom's many crimes, they should be.

Inside, Jake tells Jonah not to take Gray's pronouncements too seriously. Then he asks, "Why'd you run? My father was gonna bring you in." And Gray did instead. Which probably sucked for Dad, but I don't see how it would have worked out any better for Jonah. Then Emily appears at the end of the hall. Jake walks up to her and mutters, "I didn't want this to happen." Emily hmphs, "Jonah made his own bed." She apologizes for maybe losing the election for Dad, but Jake brushes that off and exits.
