There's a lot to uncover in 'Parish' Episode 3. So, let's jump in!
How does Gracián 'Gray' Parish save The Horse?
When the men shot at Horse, Gray focused on protecting Horse's son. Fortunately, police arrived in a helicopter just in time, causing the men to flee.
Gray quickly rushed to Horse, assessing his injuries and realizing the urgency of medical attention. He decided to take Horse to his friend's house.
Horse started to blame Gray for the attack, convinced that Gray had somehow betrayed him or orchestrated the events that resulted in the shooting.
The incident severely shook Horse's trust in Gray. His immediate instinct to blame Gray for the shooting suggests that Horse may have never fully trusted him.
Despite Gray's efforts to help him, Horse's actions reveal that he is planning something against Gray. This lack of trust is evident in Horse's behavior, as he continues to question Gray's motives and actions throughout the episode.
In the upcoming episode, Horse may search for clues to blame Gray. Given Horse's unforgiving nature, he could also try involving Gray's family in the matter.
In previous episodes, Horse had placed his trust in Gray, believing in their partnership. However, the events of this episode have dramatically shifted the dynamics between them.
Can Gracián 'Gray' Parish betray The Horse?
As 'Parish' Episode 3 progressed, viewers discovered that the mastermind behind the shooting incident was Anton (Bradley Whitford).
This revelation not only deepens the mystery surrounding Horse's attack but also raises questions about Anton's motives and his connection to Horse.
In the final scene of Episode 3, a surprising twist unfolds as Anton unexpectedly arrives at Gray's house. This revelation hints at a possible history between Gray and Anton.
In the upcoming episode, Anton may influence Gray's actions, potentially even compelling him to harm Horse.
The upcoming episode may also delve into the reasons behind Anton's hold over Gray, shedding light on their past relationship.
It appears that Anton may be the mysterious figure for whom Gray was working in the past. It's also possible that Anton was somehow involved in the tragic death of Gray's son, particularly given Anton's knowledge of Gray's past life.
Anton wants to kill Horse, and he can compel Gray to do so by using Gray's family. Gray may find himself in a situation where he has no choice but to betray Horse.
