One delightful side effect to the hailstorm busting my windshield back in the spring is I'm now much more concerned about the possibility of that happening again. Curse our increasingly erratic weather patterns!
Charlotte gets to be in the sting operation for the impending robbery at the Le Grand Jeu casino. As it turns out, rather than it being two rival gangs, it's all being done by one mastermind: Charlotte's chess pal, Bulldog (and some local biathletes). He helped Dennison put away the worst criminals, but that makes him persona non grata among the criminal set. Charlotte ends up as a hostage, Dennison gets shot. He's fine, Bulldog shows up at the hospital to apology, Charlotte reveals she was on to him for sometime, and Bulldog gets tased.
Unfortunately, Claire is not having any success finding who actually stabbed Miyamoto. Fortunately (for Charlotte, anyway) he wakes up just long enough to exonerate her and ask his assistant to help Charlotte find his killers, 'cause he died. Without telling them anything about his attackers, other than it is, indeed "attackers", plural, not singular. And unless the series gets continued at some later date, that's where we're leaving it.
Ah, I should have known Allison was setting us up by making Bulldog so likeable. As always, I'm bad at mysteries. I didn't really buy the two flappers as casino robbers. Granted, mostly because they didn't strike me as the sorts to commit crime in the sweatshirt and ski mask look. Much more "Bonnie and Clyde". I do like the gag about using biathletes. That is such a weird sport. Cross-country ski, then target shooting. Also weird my spellcheck recognizes "triathletes", but not "biathletes". Discrimination!
