'Good Girls' Season 4 Episode 9: What 'gift' does Rio get for Beth? Here's what he does with laundered money
In the latest episode, we see Beth (Christina Hendricks) being her ultimate charming self and managing to get Agent Phoebe (Lauren Lapkus) to drop her guard so that she can get Rio's (Manny Montana) laundered money out of her hotel room. When Beth and Rio meet, Rio asks her how did you get it. To which Beth says by "being myself". Beth asks him what are you going to buy? He then sarcastically says he's going to buy a present for her.
When Rio meets Beth, he has bruises all over his face. Beth asks him how he's got the battle scars, to which he replies "by being himself". He doesn't tell her how his cousin Mick (Carlos Aviles) assaulted him after a police officer starts to piece together the connection between Mick and Rio. It is the same police officer who interrogated Rio after graphic designer Lucy's murder.
