Question about July 30 episode
When Gretchen intervened to stop Ellison's beat-down from the gang members, are they the same guys she talked to about the boy in a previous episode? They specifically showed that scene in the "previously" recap. If so, you'd think the Latino gang leader would actually like Gretchen, or feel he at least 'owes' her a favor. Ever since that first scene happened, with her helping the boy, I thought it would be an interesting dynamic if Gretchen ended up in a sort of uneasy relationship with the Latinos similar to the one that Ellison has with the other gang.
Also, I really, really hope that John comes clean to Sam and tells her the whole truth. I sort of 'called it' in the beginning that she'd end up on his side. Same with John's dad. And being a Kevin Tighe fan, I'm looking forward to next week. Hope things don't end badly for him.
*Edited to correct character's name.*
