Ringer-What we have is worth the pain

"I told you they would kill to keep their secret."

One thing I cannot stand is having my mind messed with. One minute we believe that Andrew is capable of murder the next minute he is saving Siobhan's life and turning over a new leaf. I feel like Ringer is turning into a murder mystery a la Pretty Little Liars and I'm sitting here trying to figure out what happened to half the cast and who killed who. For one thing Siobhan is back in New York which means trouble ahead for everybody. Henry was thinking clearly for a good 2 minutes before she had him wrapped around her finger again and convinced that having Bridget die was the best thing for everyone. We even found out the reason why Siobhan hates Bridget so much and yeah it doesn't go any deeper than her anger at her sister for killing her son. The story I remember Bridget telling was one that happened even before Bridget was using. She was the caretaker and it happened on pure accident, so why is Siobhan holding such a grudge? Somewhere in this episode you could tell that the sisterly love still remained though, despite Siobhan's anger she still loved her sister. 


We're slowly piecing all the pieces of the puzzle together. The hit-man from the first couple of episodes that was going after Siobhan, well yeah he was hired by Andrew. Before Bridget came and brought love back into a doomed relationship Andrew was so miserable that he hired a hit-man to kill Siobhan. Those flashbacks that showed him threatening Siobhan were literally terrifying because they portrayed a man we seem to have never met. Not until now that is. The whole reason why Bridget has found herself in her sisters shoes is because Siobhan found a way out. She knew her husband wanted to kill her so she left to Paris to try and bring to ponzi scheme to life. Everything was actually going according to her plan but she miscalculated one thing. If Bridget didn't have Juliet on her side than Andrew might have actually went through with killing Siobhan, but Juliet was like his guiding light that helped him figure out that Siobhan makes them a family. That's probably why he ended up saving Siobhan from gunshots. But who was trying to kill her than? The text messages to come to the loft were sent from Malcolm's phone. Truthfully the most surprising part in this whole episode was that Soloman, the secret driver, is more observant than anyone else in Siobhan's life. It didn't take him very long to figure out that Siobhan is actually Bridget, but even her closest family isn't able to tell. 


The writers never show what happened after Andrew visited Malcolm, but right after that visit Malcolm dissapeared. Never showed up to testify. Now things aren't looking to bright for Andrew especially since Machado now knows that he stole the surveillance tapes from Malcolm's hotel. What is he trying to hide? Could he really have killed Malcolm? But if Andrew did than who was shooting at the loft? There are just too many loopholes. Although Andrew looks suspicious part of me believes that he really is harmless. Olivia on the other hand has Tyler's blood all over her hands. But who has the flash drive that could expose Martin Charles? Is Bridget really THAT good of a liar or did someone else get to it before they did? Or was the flash drive a fake all along?


The Juliet story is predictable. The minute that boy approached her by the elevator it was clear what his intentions were. Girls are just so gullible. But in reality none of this is Juliet's fault...Her mother is to be blamed. Now things are getting pretty un-safe for both of the girls and its only a matter of time before the Juliet gets the wind knocked out of her. If Juliet's scheme and the ponzi scheme both blow up at the same time there will be some serious hell to pay. That is if Andrew survives.
