Ray Donovan: Season 2, Episode 7 “Walk This Way” (B+)
What an explosive episode featuring, more than anything, a whole lot said that can’t be taken back. Most shocking was the confrontation between Terry and Ray since they never really come to blows, physical or verbal, and when they have in the past it’s never a good thing. Ray telling Terry that no one wanted him was hurtful, and Frances was right to come to his defense regardless of the veracity of his claims, and telling Ray that she knows exactly what she saw was a questionable move but one which will certainly protect her since Ray knows that Terry would never forgive him for offing her. Mickey giving Conor the car was the second biggest mistake of the hour, as evidenced by Daryl’s complete meltdown after he went ballistic on the car that Mickey shouldn’t have given to his grandson. Ryan O’Nan’s Stan seemed like a good friend for Bunchy, but kissing him definitely was not the right move given his negative reaction. Marvin’s business friend talking to Ray closed in the walls of all the worlds on this show, and while Ray trying to keep Bridget away from Marvin really is for her own good, he’s only pushing her closer by telling her not to see him. I wouldn’t be surprised if Abby tried to divorce Ray soon, but he won’t take that lying down. I enjoyed Ray’s visit to Steve Knight’s house and his interaction with Bob, particularly the fact that he ended up having to give him a ride home. Ending the episode with Ray calling Kate, Ashley waving to Bob, and Ray dancing with Conor was very productive and powerful.
