'Good Girls' Season 4 Episode 15: Will Rio kill his cousin Nick to get him out of Beth's way?
[Spoilers Ahead]
In the last few episodes of 'Good Girls' we've seen that Beth Boland (Christina Hendricks) is running for a spot on city council at the behest of Rio's brother cousin Nick (Ignacio Serrichio) or as the girls like to call him 'brusin'. Of course, the reason he has suggested it is so that he can get Beth to do some of his dirty work using a spot on the council. Beth isn't exactly running out of love for her city either. She's hoping to win the seat so that she can give FBI agents Phoebe (Lauren Lapkus) and Dave (Jonathan Silverman) inside information on some of the shell businesses they believe Nick is running using his status as a councilman as a cover.
Beth does in fact get the agents some information on Nick's plans for a rec center which sounds like a hotbed for money laundering and bribery and corruption. But just Beth's information isn't adequate. She'll have to get proof for the agents and since technically they're on vacation, they need Beth and the girls to steal the proof for them.
