As episode 6 of Barry's fourth season unfolds, Barry steadfastly adheres to his vow to eliminate Gene. Before embarking on his mission, he painstakingly instructs Sally on the usage of his firearm, despite her apparent disinterest. His concern for her safety overrides her reluctance, driven by the notion that "old habits die hard," as he attempts to quote biblical wisdom, which Sally tries in vain to discourage.
Barry bids an emotional farewell to John, tears welling up in both their eyes. John's sorrow is palpable, forming a stark contrast to Sally's detachment, who stands as an outsider amidst her own kin. Meanwhile, after an eight-year incarceration, Fuches has morphed into "The Raven," a ruthless and menacing mob boss whose foreboding persona has finally manifested. Clad in a white tank top revealing his intricate tattoos, Fuches commands an army, including the two inmates who once mocked him during his prison days. His sleek hair remains undisturbed, even with the hood of his convertible down.
In a bizarre twist, Fuches simply "eyes" a café worker and persuades her to accompany him to the headquarters of Nohobal Corporation, Hank's colossal real estate empire. Dressed in his trademark green suit and a smile that masks deep pain and trauma, Hank stands amidst the bustling office lobby, where a bronze statue of Cristobal stands as a testament to his honor.
Fuches, unable to forget Barry, tasks Hank with locating him. He also grants Fuches and his entourage access to his finest residence. Elsewhere, Barry listens intently to Pastor Pat, who echoes Sally's sentiment: "There is no greater sin than murder." On the other hand, Gene meets with Tom, who arranges a meeting with a WB executive. She outlines the studio's plans for the movie, but Gene has undergone a transformation. His eight years on a Kibbutz in Israel have shifted his perspective, rendering him no longer the narcissistic self-absorbed individual seeking attention. With vehemence, Gene declares his refusal to consult on the movie, viewing it as a desecration of Janice's memory and a "glorification of a psychopath."
Barry remains unconvinced by Pat's arguments and, seeking to rationalize his actions, switches the podcast to Pastor Carl's sermon. The words that now fill his ears resonate favorably with him—until he purchases a firearm from a local store and Carl solemnly declares that unintentional murder is a grievous sin.
In a meeting with the District Attorney, Gene learns that the authorities are still clueless about Barry's whereabouts. However, there's a glimmer of hope: Gene's son, Leo, is very much alive. This revelation serves as a much-needed positive note amidst the turmoil.
Undeterred, Barry shifts his attention to Pastor Angelo (voiced by the unmistakable Bill Burr), a former murderer-turned-pastor who hasn't exactly seen the error of his ways. Sitting outside Leo's house with a renewed sense of moral satisfaction, Barry spots Gene entering. It's the first time Leo has laid eyes on his father in over eight years, and while he welcomes him in, his enthusiasm is tinged with hesitation.
With his gun drawn, Barry is poised to exact revenge on Gene. But just as he's about to pull the trigger, he catches sight of Gordon, Leo's now-grown son, walking in. Gene embraces Gordon, who's left unsure of how to react, and gives Leo his new contact number.
Meanwhile, Sally struggles to adapt to the demands of caring for a child. The transition is a daunting challenge for the once-hollow-hearted waitress, who feels trapped in a dark abyss with no escape in sight. When John refuses a burnt grilled sandwich, Sally spikes his juice with vodka, causing him to fall asleep almost instantly. After unsuccessfully attempting to rouse him from the couch, Sally too retreats to bed.
Suddenly, she's jolted awake by the voice of a menacing man. She jumps up and scans the house, finding everything seemingly in place. Unbeknownst to her, a slender figure dressed in a black suit lurks just behind her.
The assailant is likely Bevel, the man Sally assaulted in the previous episode. As the house begins to tremble, Bevel confines Sally to her room. Outside, someone in a pickup truck attempts to turn the vehicle over and punches a hole through the wall, heightening the tension and danger within the confined space.
In some mysterious way, Sally manages to put together the gun, but by the time she does, the looming danger has already dissipated. Stepping outside, she encounters Jon still lost in slumber, while the entire house lies in disarray. As John stirs from his rest, she dials Barry's number, imploring him to return swiftly. Hank proudly tours Fuches and his cronies through their new abode, adding that they will soon be entrusted with the duty of guarding his most prized real estate ventures. Fuches, however, harbors a singular determination to capture Barry, a notion that fills Hank with foreboding.
That evening, during dinner, Fuches succumbs to intoxication, his demeanor spiraling out of control. In a moment of slippage, he mentions Hank's involvement in Cristobal's untimely demise, causing Hank's visage to undergo a stark transformation. Without a moment's hesitation, Hank rises, terminates the agreement, and issues a stern ultimatum for Fuches and his entourage to vacate the premises by dawn.
Meanwhile, Barry remains relentless in his pursuit of Gene. As the night deepens, Gene leaves his door ajar once again, a repeat of his八年前的 tactics aimed at ensnaring Barry. Yet, instead of falling into his trap, Barry stumbles into an altogether different predicament, as Jim Moss seizes him, holding him captive.
