Look, Gracie is not Daenerys, but no one messes with the Dragon Queen, whether in Game of Thrones or Bad Monkey. I’m starting to get more than a little angry with Eve Stripling (Meredith Hagner), while at the same time recognizing that her villainy has classic designs.

In terms of story, we don’t seem to be moving forward for a few episodes, but the actors are so good that we get carried away. That’s because now everyone is running away from something, but only Eve is always managing to get away with it.

Yancy (Vince Vaughn) is betrayed by Rolegio (John Ortiz) and arrested, so we follow him in the usual loose cannon and get away with justice, it’s not even worth going into that part because that’s all it is. No… the actions themselves are far from him.

We have the fugitive Bonnie (Michelle Monaghan) who goes to Yancy’s secret cabin (which is fantastic) and there she runs into his father (a cameo by Scott Glenn). Bonnie has the police on her trail and has finally realized the crime she committed by abusing a minor, not because she destroyed his head, but because she read what he writes and finally realized that he is a child. So far, none of this side plot makes sense or is interesting, but it is the only one that has been moving since the beginning.

On the island, we see our Dragon Queen (Jodie Turner-Smith) in the middle of a fight with Egg (David St. Louis), and Neville (Ronald Peet) accidentally interrupts. Chased by Egg, he is shot and disappears. Then, we see that the priestess is forging documents saying that John, the man she helped to die in a previous episode, left her a very valuable piece of land, precisely one that Eve and Nick (Rob Delaney) are trying to buy. The negotiation between them is full of veiled threats from both sides, with the American duo feigning innocence and the Dragon Queen taking the reins of the conversation and – somehow – exposing herself more. She makes it clear to Nick and Eve that although business is not personal, disrespect is.

We say goodbye seeing that Neville hid in the jet that returned to Miami, luckily being discovered by Rosa, but it is our Dragon Queen that worries me: returning home, she is kidnapped by someone in the dark. Well, growling without biting is not a good strategy… what now?
