Delilah is young, and more importantly, she’s sheltered. I like Delilah’s smug waterboarding comment, but what I like more is Robyn’s earnest lecture about her having stumbled onto information she wasn’t ready to deal with as a consequence of her own inquisitiveness. Being a secret assassin and then a secret vigilante while also preaching about honesty and truth is a bit of a contradiction. She’s combative and surly and doesn’t make anything easy for Robyn, but that’s what our kids are here to do. Delilah is a frustrating character, but as the father of two girls, one of whom is a teenager, I can’t say she’s an unrealistic one. Whether or not this will be next week’s plot or an ongoing season-long arc remains to be seen, but Robyn’s associates and friends asking her for favors seems to be a recurring theme.Īnd then there’s Robyn’s home life, the dynamics of which have obviously altered since Aunt Vi and then Delilah became aware of what Robyn actually does when she claims to be away on business. He wants resurrection, in the official sense. At the end of “Aftermath”, it’s him who asks if he can be Robyn’s next client. He has been “dead”, officially, for five years, living underground like a tech-savvy mole and feeling remarkably threatened any time his whereabouts are potentially at risk. This also keeps Harry and Mel on Robyn’s books, which means that Harry has a problem. Of course, Robyn and Dante save the day, save each other in the process, look at each other with a lot of barely contained sexual chemistry, and basically agree to work together in the future. The plot is a bit more complicated than it need be, really, involving a roundabout thievery scheme that included sending the robbers to the bank to lift a safe deposit box in the hopes they’d get killed, some files that reveal all, the congressman’s expensive watch, and his ex-military chief of staff. Predictably, the ghostly robber, according to Bishop, whose expertise Robyn is reluctantly forced to request once again, is CIA, working off the books.Īlso predictably, given how this show is, a congressman was responsible. Anyway, the hook of “Aftermath” is that Dante’s partner Paley (Erica Camarano) is shot and killed during an armed robbery committed by people who seemingly don’t exist, so he turns to Robyn for help, guilt-tripping her with all the favors he did for her during the first season.
