Jackie continues to get his way in City on a Hill 1.7, squeezing Jimmy to reveal the locations of the bodies from the heist, essential to DeCourcy making a case.
That was the end of the episode. The beginning also had a body, but one which just managed to survive. That would Michaela, who winds up at the bottom of a steep flight on Boston stairs, barely alive. Did Jackie have something to with this, as well?
We know that Michaela's been investigating Jackie. Did he push her, or have her pushed, down that flight of stairs? The medical assessment is she fell - but we know how out of touch with reality those can be. Well, one thing's for sure. It's not likely Bonnie from Big Little Lies did it. She's presumably still in California.
But the serious question about Jackie remains. Would he actually kill someone to protect his vital interests? I would say if the person was a dangerous criminal, yes. But a reporter, investigating him? On balance, I'd say no. Jackie's sense of morality may not be the strongest, but it's there. And as a practical matter, killing a reporter could well only invite further investigation.
Even with Michaela surviving, it already has. Rachel has now taken up Michaela's investigation. And, as an insider, she has a lot more at her command than does/did Michaela. In fact, Rachel looks to be the most serious opponent Jackie may encounter on City on the Hill this season.
Which makes it eminently worth watching.
