The episode also found Sam finally shaving off his beard and returning to having a face as smooth as a dolphin’s belly, according to Dean.

‘Mayans M.C.’ Season 1 Episode 10 Recap: “Cuervo/Tz’ikb’uul” Season Finale

Mayans Season 1 Episode 10 Recap

FX’s Mayans M.C. season one comes to a close with one of the best episodes of the 10 episode first season. Season one episode 10 titled “Cuervo/Tz’ikb’uul” successfully wrapped up a few storylines while leaving plenty to explore going into a second season.

Season one episode 10 begins with Miguel’s mother, Dita (Ada Maris), realizing her lie has been exposed when she sees her deceased son’s X-ray and doctor’s report. Miguel (Danny Pino) informs her the report was found after the Feds ransacked the place. She apologizes, and Miguel says he understands she did it because she felt she had to support Devante.

He’s angry she didn’t trust his ability to lead, but now they must move forward. She asks after Devante and he doesn’t openly admit he’s dead but Dita’s able to read between the lines. She’s crying as Emily (Sarah Bolger) enters the kitchen, but Emily comforts her husband rather than his mother.

Angel (Clayton Cardenas), Gilly (Vincent Vargas), and Coco (Richard Cabral) appear to be the last to leave the casino the morning after the meeting with the Galindo cartel. EZ’s already hit the road and has arrived at Felipe’s butcher shop. Felipe (Edward James Olmos) has been concerned about his sons, but EZ seems okay despite everything that went down. He then admits US Attorney Potter wants them to kill Agent Kevin Jimenez. Potter didn’t tell them why, but Felipe realizes it’s because Kevin (EZ’s cousin) must have done something to make Potter scared about a whistleblower screwing up his deal with the cartel.

EZ and Angel are ordered to do the hit by the end of the day or else EZ will go back to jail. Plus, Angel will be exposed to the club as knowing about his brother’s deal. Felipe knows his son can’t do this, but EZ feels he has to to protect Angel.

EZ gets emotional and Felipe warns him not to let Potter turn him into a monster. EZ truly believes he has no choice. Felipe hugs him and says, “We’ll figure it out. Promise me one thing, you won’t do anything – not until you hear from me.” EZ promises but Felipe’s not convinced.

EZ makes it to the clubhouse before Angel, and Bishop (Michael Irby) and the club want him to see if Felipe can hook them up with food for a meeting. They’ll be feeding 60-70 people and EZ’s sent off to handle the order. Before he leaves, Marcus asks him to stop by Vicky’s to get his travel bag.

Angel, Coco, and Gilly pull up as EZ’s heading out. EZ doesn’t stop the van to talk, so Angel’s forced to pump Chucky (Michael Ornstein) for details on EZ’s schedule. Chucky, being his typical self, infuriates Angel by giving a vague description of EZ’s outing.

Gilly wants to know what’s got Angel on edge, but he claims it’s just family stuff.

Coco asks about Letty and Chucky says she’s at the post office. As Coco’s walking away, Chucky comments (to himself) about how much he likes Johnny ‘Coco’ Cruz.

Coco’s also the subject of attention over at Potter’s secret task force office. Potter’s not around, but ex-Agent Jimenez’s boss, Bowen (Curtiss Cook), wants to know why he can’t access EZ’s deal or Jimenez’s files. No one on the task force can answer those questions.

Speaking of Agent Jimenez, he’s packing up his car when he gets a call. He tells whoever’s on the other end that he’ll be there soon.

Over at the clubhouse, the Mayans are at the table discussing the cartel and rebels arrangement. Marcus trusts Miguel and believes the deal makes everyone stronger. They’ll vote on that later, but now they have to vote on gun-running. Bishop explains Nestor has a military contact for smaller guns, and Marcus confirms the cartel will continue doing business with Nestor’s contact to keep up appearances since the Feds are aware of that arrangement. Meanwhile, SAMCRO will supply the cartel through the Mayans under the radar.

Marcus acknowledges that the Mayans and SAMCRO have a deal that he intends to fulfill, just as he promised Jax Teller. (Just the mention of Jax’s name is a reminder of how much, as good as Mayans M.C. is, Sons of Anarchy fans still miss that series.)

Bishop confirms the Mayans will handle the business between the Galindo cartel and SAMCRO. A vote’s taken and it’s unanimously approved. Someone from SAMCRO’s already on their way, so it’s a good thing the vote went through.

EZ’s driving doing his errands when he sees Emily. He has a flashback to a night when they were together and had sex outdoors under the stars. Before he pulls away, Emily spots EZ but doesn’t wave.

Kevin Jimenez (Maurice Compte) shows up at the butcher shop and it’s confirmed Felipe was the person on the other end of the phone call. Felipe closes up shop and then says they need to talk in the back. They head into the locker where Felipe actually cuts up meat, and Felipe immediately asks why Kevin lost his badge.

Kevin reveals it was for insubordination and that he angered the wrong people. Felipe brings up Potter and Kevin wonders what’s going on. Neither thinks any of this makes sense. Kevin believes the fact EZ’s deal is still in place means Potter needs him for something.

As they’re sitting across from each other talking, Felipe stealthily reaches behind him for a gun. Kevin says all this has made him realize he actually cares about his family. Felipe struggles with his decision, and his hand shakes as he holds the gun out of sight.

Kevin realizes something’s wrong just as Felipe puts down the gun. Felipe apologizes and gets emotional, explaining it’s all hitting him now. He tells Kevin to leave and head north, advising him to be with his family.

Angel’s the next person to visit Felipe and cause the shop to close for business. Angel asks if Felipe knows what they have to do, and he wonders where Kevin is or how to reach him. Felipe says he doesn’t know but then admits he tried to take out Kevin himself but just couldn’t do it. Felipe warns him he can’t just kill Kevin, but Angel says he can. He has to, even though he realizes Felipe adores Kevin. (Once again Clayton Cardenas is giving an amazing, multi-layered, gut-wrenching performance.)

Angel knows EZ’s not meant for this life and he has to protect him by killing Kevin. He’s made his choice. As they talk, Potter calls him but Angel doesn’t answer.

EZ’s driving and does pick up the phone when Potter calls. Potter (Ray McKinnon) reminds him time’s running out. Potter also has the address where Kevin will be having lunch for the next hour. If EZ or Angel don’t kill him there, then Potter might have to call in someone else to do it. EZ angrily replies that he’ll handle it.

Mayans M.C. Season 1 Episode 10 Recap

Angel parks across the street from Kevin’s house. He’s almost crossed the street when EZ cruises down the block and spots him. Angel knocks on the door and forces Kevin to let him in at gunpoint. He apologizes to his cousin and then pats him down. Unfortunately, Angel’s unaware Bowen’s also inside the house and he gets the jump on Kevin.

EZ makes it in the back door, gun ready. EZ kills Bowen without saying a word and then points the gun at the shocked Kevin. Before he can pull the trigger, Angel shoots Kevin in the head.

EZ sinks to the floor while Angel takes a seat at the dining room table.

Potter arrives shortly after the killings and calls their work sloppy. They realize Potter knew Bowen would be there when he gave them the address, and he admits he monitored the call. He says the killings are manageable. “You can tell that to their families,” says Angel, adding, “They can think about that next time they eat a piece of pie.”

Potter notices the pie and two plates, and his first reaction is to wonder if it’s homemade. That leaves Angel to question what’s wrong with Potter. EZ asks how Potter gets away with this, and Potter explains the gatekeepers have all been fired or resigned.

Potter wants Angel and EZ to transport the dead bodies through the tunnels to Mexico and then dispose of them. Potter assures them he’ll take care of the blood in the house.

EZ and Angel load up the bodies while Potter tastes the pie. He’s disappointed it’s store-bought and spits it out.

Over at the Galindo place, Miguel’s placing photos in frames. Nestor interrupts and they reminisce about Nestor’s car-loving deceased brother. The chat turns serious when Miguel explains that with the dueling deals in place, he needs to reorganize and expand his inner circle. Nestor will remain the head of security and handle all protection for his family. However, he’ll be out in the field. He’s being replaced as Miguel’s right-hand man, and Miguel explains this is in large part because he beat a nun to death. Miguel describes that act as effective but lacking in vision.

Miguel reminds him they’re about to play a very dangerous game. He believes this will make sense later and gives Nestor a hug while saying he’s like a brother to him.

EZ and Angel drive the bodies away, and EZ’s worried he’s going to be late back to the clubhouse. Angel can’t believe that’s what EZ’s thinking about, still stunned they just murdered two Feds. EZ reminds Angel he’d be dead if he didn’t show up to save him, and Angel says, “Then that’s on me. I’m the one who f*cks up.”

EZ says he has to start believing this is his life and that this is supposed to happen. Angel agrees, but says it’s supposed to happen to him – not his little brother.

They make it to the tunnels and wheel the bodies toward Mexico. They spill off the cart and EZ and Angel are forced to take a break. Angel wonders if EZ remembers Kevin, but EZ doesn’t. Angel remembers a July 4th party where Kevin’s dad hit Kevin for spilling relish.

EZ and Angel load them back up and continue the trek.

Back at the Galindo estate, Dita and Emily have a talk. Dita asks if Emily knew about her dead son, but Emily admits Miguel kept that a secret until he discovered the truth. That’s when he spilled the details to Emily. Dita’s now outside the circle of trust.

Adelita and the rebels have settled into a new house, and she assures a young girl they no longer have to run.

EZ and Angel dig the grave and toss the bodies in, with EZ snapping photos to prove the job’s done. Angel reminds him that now they’ve finished the job, EZ has to resign from the club and leave town. “This will be the last f*cking grave you’ll ever dig,” says Angel.

Night falls and Angel pays a visit to Adelita. They go for a walk in the dark and she realizes Angel’s upset. He blames his mood on EZ before telling her he’s glad she’s safe and settled in. He gives her a kiss and promises to check on her later in the week. As he’s walking away, she asks if he wants to spend the night. He replies, “More than you know. Not on a night when I hate myself this much.”

EZ meets up with Potter and shows him the photos. Potter in turn deletes EZ’s deal from the system. “All doors open, all eyes shut,” says Potter. EZ’s free. EZ looks relieved until Potter rocks him by mentioning that by taking out not one but two Feds, he’s created a new problem. EZ now owes Potter a favor.

The Mayans gather at the clubhouse for a party and Coco breaks the news to EZ that Angel’s been made the new secretary. Angel doesn’t smile as he watches EZ deliver beer to Bishop and the club’s leaders.

EZ asks for a minute of their time and they tell him to have a seat at the table.

Felipe arrives with a van full of food and quietly asks Angel what happened. Angel tells his pop the deed’s done and he did it himself. “The golden boy is free and clear,” says Angel, saying EZ will need to pack up and leave in the morning.

Back inside the clubhouse, whatever EZ said to Bishop is accepted, with Bishop saying he understands. After EZ leaves, Marcus asks Bishop to hang back to talk.

Meanwhile, Sons of Anarchy club members arrive including Happy (David Labrava)!

EZ stares at himself in the mirror as he washes his face. He picks up his jacket and heads back into the party, passing by a disapproving Angel.

Marcus remains at the table after speaking privately with Bishop. Finally, he gets up and removes his colors, placing his jacket over his vacated chair. Now in civilian clothes, Marcus and his travel bag head to a waiting Galindo cartel car.

Bishop pulls up a chair next to Angel, shooing away the woman in his lap. Angel confirms EZ talked to him and Bishop admits “it” makes sense. And now we learn what EZ discussed…he wants the club to add a new rule to the bylaws that blood can’t sponsor blood. EZ asked Bishop to sponsor him, claiming the “family shit” was screwing things up. Angel has no choice but to agree.

Over at the Galindo house, Emily and Miguel are relaxing and playing a friendly game of Scrabble. It’s interrupted by the arrival of Marcus who Miguel greets warmly. Miguel believes his father would approve of this new arrangement.

Angel pulls EZ aside and demands his younger brother quit the club and leave town. EZ disagrees, saying what he did in jail was about survival. Now that he’s out, everything’s been about Angel, Felipe, and the club. He’s lost sight of himself but knows he’s not supposed to run. He all but dares Angel to rat him out.

A SAMCRO prospect interrupts to ask if they have any other beer besides Dos Equis. EZ promises to fetch some and asks who it’s for. When the prospect points out his sponsor, EZ lapses into a flashback to his mother’s murder.

Images of her dead body, obtaining a gun from Angel, staking out a bar, and chasing after a fleeing car with a Wildcats sticker flow through his head. He recalls smashing into the back of the car and the driver getting out and fleeing down an alley. The driver turned and fired two shots at him and EZ fired back. Unfortunately, EZ also accidentally fired at a cop who appeared out of nowhere.

After shooting the officer, EZ dropped the gun and ran. Additional cops pursued him and he was trapped by a locked chain-link fence. However, through the fence he saw the car and its driver. The driver looked him straight in the eye and…wait for it…it was Happy! (No, say it isn’t so!)

Cut to current events and Happy makes eye contact with EZ. The final shot of season one shows EZ looking confused and glancing back toward the clubhouse.

‘Manifest’ Season 1 Episode 6 Recap: “Off Radar”

Manifest Season 1 Episode 6 Recap

“Cal’s fever has something to do with all the passengers that disappeared. We’ve got to find them,” says Ben (Josh Dallas) to his sister, Michaela (Melissa Roxburgh) while his son Cal (Jack Messina) is back in the hospital fighting a dangerously high fever in season one episode six of NBC’s mystery drama series, Manifest.

The episode begins with a flashback to Flight 828 in the air and a male passenger asking other passengers something in a foreign language. Flash-forward to Cal crying out in bed with a very high fever and saying the exact same thing the passenger was saying. Grace (Athena Karkanis) and Ben hustle to get Cal to the hospital, and Michaela tags along.

At the hospital, Dr. Saanvi Bahl (Parveen Kaur) hears Cal and recognizes the language from the man on the plane. While Grace talks to the main doctor about what’s wrong with Cal, Ben looks up the man on the list he created of all the passengers. Saanvi recognizes him and Ben identifies the man as Marko Valeriev, one of the dozen passengers Ben hasn’t been able to track down.

It turns out Marko is Bulgarian and that’s the language Cal has been speaking. Saanvi remembers a woman on the plane helping Marko, and Michaela is able to figure out her name is Anna and where they can find her.

Michaela calls Jared (J.R. Ramirez) and tells him to cover for her because Cal’s in the hospital and she’s taking a personal day. She tracks down Anna and asks her what she remembers about Marko. Anna explains she helped him translate his customs forms and she last saw him get on a government bus leaving the hanger to go to a government shelter.

Back at the hospital, Grace asks Ben why he’s looking for a passenger from the flight and how that’s important. Reluctantly, Ben reveals to Grace that something happened to everyone on the flight and that it keeps happening. Ben goes on to tell Grace he believes Cal’s fever might be tied to the passenger and the mystery involving the plane. Grace doesn’t want to believe it and reminds Ben that the last time Cal got sick Ben “shut her out and then she shut him out.” Grace tells Ben she wants them to be there for each other this time and that he needs to stop being a scientist and be a father.

Michaela goes to the precinct and is working out some possible remote locations the government might have taken the missing bus when Jared spots her. He’s angry at her, thinking she lied to him. When she tries to talk to him he shuts her down, saying, “I’m done. Leave me out of it from now on.”

Michaela discovers a location she believes might be where they took the missing 11 passengers who were on the bus with Marko. She calls Ben to tell him she’s going to go check it out, and he suggests she should take Jared because it will probably be dangerous. She tries to tell Ben that Jared’s fed up with her, but Ben pushes her. He knows this is too dangerous for Michaela to handle on her own. Reluctantly, Michaela tells Jared she needs him to take a ride with her. He caves in and goes along.

Manifest Season 1 Episode 6 Recap

Michaela and Jared drive out to a remote area and find a farmhouse patrolled by a hovering drone and armed guards. The guards come out to meet them after they pull over outside the farmhouse and Michaela quickly reacts by giving her car a flat tire. She and Jared act as though they were out for a romantic drive and got lost. With the guards standing by, Michaela and J.R. fix the tire and drive off.

As they’re pulling away, Michaela takes a photo of people outside a red door and one is a woman in what looks like a hospital gown. After driving far enough away from the farmhouse, Jared pulls over and demands Michaela tell him what’s going on.

Michaela explains about the voices helping her crack cases and that she thinks the passengers of Flight 828 have been given a puzzle to solve. Jared finds it hard to believe but tells her she can still trust him. Michaela sends the photo to Ben and describes to him over the phone what she and Jared witnessed.

Back at the hospital, Cal’s fever is getting worse. In quick back and forth cutaways it’s revealed Cal is in sync with the tests and shock treatment being inflected upon Marko at the hands of some scientists. Cal’s primary doctor thinks they should put him on antibiotics to treat the fever. However, if they do that – as Dr. Saanvi reminds Grace – Cal will be removed from the experimental drug that is helping him beat the cancer. Ben’s against it, still believing the fever is tied to Marko somehow. He and Grace argue and he gets a sense of what he has to do and who he has to go see. He asks Grace to give him one hour.

Ben visits NSA Agent Vance (Daryl Edwards) and says he knows what they’ve done, revealing he knows about the kidnapping of the missing 11 passengers. He then shows him the photo of the woman by the red door wearing the hospital gown. She looks like Lena, a passenger on Flight 828 who’s also missing.

Vance and his men claim they don’t know what Ben’s talking about. Ben threatens to go to the press with his story and Vance has him escorted out. After he’s gone, Vance looks at the photo again and at Lena’s file. He thinks it might be her in both photos. He instructs his men to follow up on the missing 11 passengers.

At the hospital, Grace asks Saanvi what she believes is best for Cal. She suggests they should be sure the antibiotics will help before putting Cal on them. Grace disagrees and when Cal starts to shake violently, she tells the primary doctor to give him the antibiotics. Saanvi implores Grace not to and reminds her if she gives Cal the drugs he’ll be kicked out of the program and his cancer will come back. He will die. Grace changes her mind.

Later, Grace goes into the ladies restroom and collapses, crying. There’s a knock on the door and a nurse tells her Cal is awake.

Back at the farmhouse, the scientists and their patients are being moved to another facility due to Michaela’s visit and NSA Agent Vance’s checking into them. Cal’s connection with Marko is broken…for now.

At the hospital, Cal returned to a normal 98.6 degree temp and seems to be doing better. Ben shows up and Grace is angry, telling him he left her when she needed him and he can never do that again. Ben, Michaela, and Saanvi wonder how Cal suddenly got better and Ben says they’ll need to find Marko because it’s not over and he has a plan. Ben’s focus is a conglomerate known as Unified Dynamic Systems that uses ex-special ops for security, like the ones at the farmhouse, and has a high interest in the missing passengers.

Vance and his men check out the farmhouse and find it’s been vacated. Vance does a little looking around and finds a small used band-aid with fresh blood on it.

The last scene in Manifest season one episode six show the same scientist who was performing tests and torturing Marko speaking to someone on the phone. He explains they had to relocate but they should be up and running again very soon.

The Season One Plot:

Happy Together stars Damon Wayans, Jr. in a comedy about a 30-something happily married couple who begin to reconnect with their younger, cooler selves when a young pop star drawn to their super ordinary suburban life unexpectedly moves in with them. Jake, an accountant, and his dream wife, Claire, a restaurant and bar designer, are very comfortably settled into their marriage, enjoying evenings together on the couch watching TV and scheduling time to change their outgoing voicemail message.

Their tame routine gets a makeover when Jake’s client, exuberant music superstar Cooper James, arrives on their doorstep looking for refuge from the paparazzi following a high-profile breakup with his girlfriend. Jake and Claire quickly discover there’s no way they can keep up with their world-famous houseguest’s effortlessly cool, fast-paced lifestyle. Cooper, however, enjoys Jake and Claire’s more relaxed way of life, discovering that a touch of ordinary can be extraordinary for all three of them.
