"The opposite has been true for a while now, with Ian cheerily lying to Mike. Ian plays the part of the can-do, "I got your back" buddy-buddy, while he's been secretly working dirty deals and knocking off anyone in his way. He's at it again this week, dropping a brick off an overpass and causing that nosy ADA Evelyn Foley to crash her car. The Evelyn incident doesn't seem to rattle Mike's trust in Ian."
"In the aftermath of the bloodbath that ended last week's episode - where a couple of Frank Moses's "hitters" raided the Colombians' massive drug-cooking fortress - Mike admits that he asked Ian to pull KPD's surveillance off of Cortez so that Frank's team could take care of business. This, to Ian, is a major blunder on Mike's part. Everyone knows the Detroit crew is bad news."
The episode centers on Ian's duplicity and the fraying trust with Mike after Ian secretly commits violent acts and Mike's decision empowers dangerous outsiders. Ian cheerfully lies while arranging dirty deals and causes ADA Evelyn Foley's crash by dropping a brick from an overpass. Mike reveals he asked Ian to remove KPD surveillance so Frank Moses's team could attack Cortez, which Ian views as a major error. Bunny's partner changes prompt Ian's fury. Raphael retaliates against the Colombians for an earlier assassination attempt. A Crip ambush on prison boss Roberto Cruz leaves several of Cruz's men wounded.
