'Parish': The Horse's siblings' suspicions about the mole shake up group dynamics
Contains spoilers and speculations for 'Parish'
NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA: AMC's drama series 'Parish' is getting intense with each episode, following the story of Gracián 'Gray' Parish (Giancarlo Esposito) and his involvement in the criminal underworld.
It does seem like the crime drama series is setting up for a big, possibly explosive finale! It'll be interesting to see how they manage to tie up all those loose ends in just two episodes.
The series took a dramatic turn when Anton (Bradley Whitford) decided to take drastic measures by sending men to kill The Horse (Zackary Momoh).
Subsequently, The Horse's siblings cast doubt about the presence of a mole within their group who may be working with Anton.
Zenzo Tongai (Ivan Mbakop), The Horse's brother, drops a bombshell when he suggests that Gray might be the mole within their group who is working with Anton to kill The Horse.
However, Gray believes that his friend, Colin (Skeet Ulrich), is the mole within their group. As the hunt for the mole intensifies, trust among the characters begins to fray, leading to potentially explosive confrontations and revelations.
Let's discuss about the possible identity of the mole within the group.
Could Colin, Gray's trusted ally, be the mole within their group?
Gray had previously raised concerns about Colin possibly being the mole, but his efforts to uncover the truth have yielded no concrete evidence thus far.
When Gray expresses doubts about Colin, it suggests that there may be genuine reasons for suspicion, given the trust and bond they share.
In Episode 3 of 'Parish,' Gray confronted Colin about the possibility of him being the mole within their group. Despite Gray's suspicions, Colin vehemently denied any involvement.
However, in 'Parish' Episode 4, tensions escalate when Anton's man, who was held hostage by The Horse, accuses Colin of being a long-time informant for Anton's gang. Despite Colin's attempts to deny the accusation, the revelation casts a shadow of doubt over his loyalty.
In Episode 4, Gray doubts the accusation against Colin, believing it to be a ploy by Anton's man to sow discord within the group.
Although it is difficult to ascertain Colin's true intentions, as episode 4 does not provide a definitive answer, Gray's initial disbelief suggests that there may be more to Colin's story than meets the eye.
Throughout the series, Colin has maintained an air of mystery, his true intentions and background hidden from both the audience and the other characters.
Given Colin's mysterious nature and the doubts surrounding his allegiance, it is indeed possible that he could be the mole within the group.
Is Zenzo Tongai the mole?
Throughout the series, Zenzo Tongai has exhibited signs of jealousy towards The Horse, which could potentially motivate him to betray the group.
Given his jealousy and resentment towards his brother, Zenzo could be the mole within the group. By passing valuable information to Anton, Zenzo could be aiming to undermine The Horse and secure a more prominent position for himself within the group.
Zenzo's interrogation of Anton's man, who was held hostage, about the mole within the group is a crucial detail to note. It is possible that Zenzo's actions are part of a larger plan to falsely accuse Colin and divert suspicion away from himself.
No one could have suspected that Zenzo could be involved with Anton. But his recent actions have cast doubts on his true intentions.
Could Shamiso Tongai, sibling of The Horse, be the mole?
It is indeed possible that Shamiso Tongai (Bonnie Mbuli), sibling of The Horse, could be the mole within the group.
Shamiso's possible motive could be to become the gang's leader, which might only be achievable by eliminating The Horse. Shamiso has always appeared mysterious, never openly opposing The Horse, unlike Zenzo. This suggests that Shamiso may be playing a more subtle and strategic game, keeping her true intentions hidden while appearing loyal on the surface.
Her silence could be a deliberate tactic to avoid suspicion, allowing her to work towards her goals without drawing attention to herself.
If this theory proves true, it could lead to a dramatic power struggle within the gang.
Who is the mole? Only time will tell.
'Parish' Episode 1-4 are now streaming on AMC+.
