"I'll be honest: By the end of this week's episode, "#081693," I can't definitively say who among Kingstown's newcomers - Frank, Cortez, Warden Nina Hobbs, and her lackey David Torres - is allied with whom. I'm not even 100 percent sure anymore if Cortez is a loyal Colombian soldier. I am pretty sure that the guard, Cindy Stephens, isn't part of any larger conspiracy (outside of helping Mike keep tabs on Kyle). But everyone else? No assumptions. Not any more."
"After Cortez's guys hijacked and torched Bunny's gun shipment last week, Frank and Mike gather to survey the damage, noting that the hijackers very purposefully burned the train's smuggled shipment rather than stealing it, and that their planning for this operation involved accessing the railroad's Dead Man's Switch. While nothing is expressly proven in the episode, the hijackers' knowledge of the train yard suggests Frank must have been an accessory to the crime."
Frank Moses appears to manipulate events in Kingstown, possibly orchestrating a train arson and arranging a shooting attempt on Bunny Washington. Multiple characters including Cortez, Warden Nina Hobbs, David Torres, and guard Cindy Stephens have ambiguous alliances. Cortez's status as a loyal Colombian soldier is uncertain. Mike and Frank examine the burned shipment and note that hijackers burned the goods rather than stealing them and used the railroad's Dead Man's Switch. Bunny is critically wounded when masked gunmen ambush his driver, Lamar, who was later revealed to have been paid by Frank. The overall network of alliances remains unclear.
