It seems like none has been able to curb the surging violence in Saint Bonifacio, let alone put an end to it. Allegra Dill (Rosario Dawson), who was dragged into her hometown by the mysterious death of her sister, has now gotten entangled in the town's politics, while her chances of finding her sister’s killer are getting narrowed as each day comes along. 

The previous episode of ‘Briarpatch’ saw Gene Colder’s (Brian Geraghty) wife Lucretia Colder’s (Christine Woods) obsession with her husband’s illicit affair continue to eat her up. When she realized Harold Snow was bugging Felicity Dill on her orders could reveal more to her insanity which her husband clearly despised, she shoots Harold in the head, burying her dirty secrets forever. 

However, similar to the previous episodes, even the last one fails to deliver any clarity surrounding the death of the police officer and multiple deaths, which Saint Disgrace has been subjected to in the recent past. 

Meanwhile, the sneak peek of Episode 8 ‘Most Likely to Succeed’ teases the school reunión of the 1999 batch, which Allegra gets invited to by a former chatty schoolmate of hers. On realizing the crucial platform the event was serving for Allegra and Jake Spivey (Jay R Ferguson) to come face-to-face with Clyde Brattle (Alan Cumming), the duo comes up with a plan. 

In the previous episode, we also saw Cyrus (Charles Parnell) warn Allegra against inefficiency and a leaning towards Jake, saying he wouldn’t hesitate to send her back to prison, which he himself got her out from earlier. 

Episode 8 is expected to put Allegra’s professional integrity to the test as she has been assigned the task of bringing the two most wanted men together and produce something to the Senator and his assistant that could give them a leg to stand on in the upcoming elections. 

However, knowing Clyde’s ways and his infamous reputation of being a merciless criminal, we need to wait to see if Allegra and Jake’s plan will be of any help at all. It could also be that on meeting with Clyde, Allegra may learn new details about her sister’s death, hence propelling her to work towards the actual goal that drove her to Saint Disgrace.  

‘Briarpatch’ airs on Mondays on ABC.
