Have No Fear, Linder (And His Beard) Are Here

"Sorrowsworn" opens with Eleanor trying on clothes at a department store. The clerk attempts to help her but Eleanor wants to be alone. I dont blame her. Some of us need space when shopping. We get to see more of Eleanor's tattoos. There's a Medusa on her chest which Eleanor sticks with a straight pin until it bleeds. Besides some new frumpy clothes, Eleanor picks up a 55 gallon drum and some cleaning supplies. Wonder what (or who) she'll put in there?

Meanwhile, Sonya is less than impressed with Jack Dobb's performance in bed saying "it was not as good as last time". Ouch. Frye and Adriana tell Millie's nephew that his boyfriend is dead. He was stuffed in a duffel bag. Raul says he saw him with the "woman in charge" (which I assume is Eleanor). Raul is later stabbed to death.

Some kids from Juarez ambush Ray and Cesar and steal their stash (which was cleverly hid up a horse's bum). Poor Vickers, may he rest in peace. Speaking as asses, Ray calls Charlotte and tells her to "remember the plan". Fausto is not happy that his drug shipment is gone. Someone will pay. Cesar takes his chances and stays with his family. Ray and Charlotte go on the run.

We also see the return of Linder in this episode. His crazy beard should get it's own credits. He heads to Bob's ranch. Bob has a Mexican cop strung up in the shed. And Eva must have told Linder some of what happened because he later bashes the cop's head in with a rock. I'm sure the guy really, really deserved it though.

Eleanor goes to kill the other kid who saw her at the car wash. Luckily for him, he wets himself out of fear. She sees he's just a kid and let's him live. Before leaving she whispers "Your friend, he's with the butterflies".

Marco and Sonya find Kyle's body in that 55 gallon drum. Eleanor watches on from a distance. Poor Kyle. All he wanted to do was touch a booby and now he's dead for it.

Grade: 3 1/2 Monsters (out of 5). I'm disappointed that Eleanor didnt do anything badass this week. Instead she spent the whole episode shopping and cleaning up her previous mess. Hopefully she'll be at it again soon. I also want to hear more about how she went from being a Mennonite to an assassin/accountant for the drug cartel.
