We begin with a story.
The story of a Bully and a Little Bitch.
Vera’s words, not mine.

The LB loves baseball more than anything, and he gets a sweet aluminum bat on ex-mas morning.
The LB is an LB no more.
Krista, tied to a chair with a gag in her mouth, takes all of this in.
Vera walks over to her, gets real close.
So begins yet another chilling episode ofMr.
Everyone is hurtling towards oblivion, and it’s hard to see a way out.
Plus, time is short.
Elliot resorts to drastic measures to speed things along.
Then he orders two peppermint mochas and heads to Olivia’s.
He tells her about the Deus Group, Cyprus National, and his plan.
She wants him to leave.
He starts to go but then asks her what would happen if she failed a drug test.
He mentions her custody battle.
She connects the dots.
It’s a heartbreaking moment, Elliot at his most selfish and destructive.
Real “Walter White lets Jane die” vibes fromBreaking Badhere.
Meanwhile, the Dark Army is on the hunt.
Dom shows up at Darlene’s and points a gun in her face, asking where Elliot is.
Dom pistol whips her instead, and when Darlene wakes up Dom tries to institute another plan.
Darlene doesn’t do it and in walks Janice with two members of the Dark Army.
“I’m not going to kill you.
But this is going to be very painful for you,” says Janice to Dom.
Darlene wipes her phone at that moment, her last move against the threat of Janice.
And that’s where we leave that story for the week.
So, back to Elliot.
Robot recognizes that Elliot is spiraling.
Sure enough, we hear a crash.
Elliot rushes in and tries to stop the bleeding from where Olivia has slit her wrists.
He gets the bleeding stopped, she recovers, and he convinces her to call her boss.
I know she’s in a daze, just numb to it all, but it still feels rushed.
But what kind of hero destroys someone’s life like Elliot did with Olivia?
Like I said, there may be no happy endings in sight here.
