Rabbit Hole : Episode 6 - Personal Thoughts

Review by @skiptvads · 1154d · of Rabbit Hole

Episode 6 looks like a very important one and the first episode when every situation feels like a rabbit hole, from John trying to reach Valance even though he saw him throw himself off the balcony but him and his dad Ben are masters are creating situations that look and feel real but are not or probably he cant get over Valance death same goes for Hailey that again in my book looks like she can be trusted but her background still a bit foggy for me, she also fall into the Rabbit Hole when John ask her to trust him her $26 million in crypto to pull the job, she start thinking this can be John creating a hole story to finally get to her money and at the end John got a text from Valence so what is actually real anymore? well at least I know its not John going after Hailey money and that was clear since the start of the series, its not about her but the Valence situation got me thinking if he is really death or someone fake his death.

I'M SORRY, JOHN, BUT I HAD TO MAKE IT LOOK REAL

This is suppose to be Valance at the end of the episode talking to John again through a chat but could this be his dad or Hailey trying to comfort him after Valance death? I don't think so, this has to be someone else, I'm not saying its Valence neither, its all a bit confusing, I really like this episode because of all the mind games, at the end you got two shooters and two possible targets Senator Evers and John but the ending tells me Crowley doesn't know John and Ben location anymore.

This series is solid with a great cast, action on every episode and on this one I really felt the inception effect when Hailey asks John

What if all of it is engineer to ... make me give you all of my money...I mean is what you do right?

For the first time some one is identify as Crowley and based on his face I can now tell the guy I though was Crowley most like is, didnt want to work around an assumption but I have no doubt, this is Crowley working with Ben back in the 80's cleaning up a mess, a guy dies from over doses seems some one important and they are send to clean up, Crowley offers Ben to sell data to the highest bidder but Ben refuse, data farming on its infancy.

After last episode when Ben told John a few things he must have said like discovering the Intern or knowing his team was dead, now John has no clue who to believe even getting to the point to think that his dad is against him, all we know about Crowley is what his dad told him so what if Ben is actually the bad guy, what if Crowley is the one after Ben but for good reasons? there are many possibilities.

John gets to talk with senator Evers and tells her about the money she is getting in donations to her campaign, but the plan goes farther than that and Homm got it wrong thinking at some point Evers was going to run for president, this was all well planed by Crowley to get enough attention to Evers and then make her a martyr to get her data law approved by the government, also for the first time someone working with/for Crowley accept they are been blackmail

lets just say, if that gets out, anyone that got my last name they going to change it for something else

Thats why many of Crowley workers end up killing themself before what ever he has on them go out.

John decides to help Evers get a briefcase with all the data Crowley got on her so then she helps him track Crowley, senator Evers also is the first one who accept she know and work with Crowley.

Either Crowley knew John was in contact with Senator Evers or this was going to happen anyways, Kyle the intern have been working / brain washing his girlfriend to help him pull a job, she thought it was her going with politics initiatives, going to rallys, the classic bs about power to the people but it was him all the time working her to eventually kill Senator Evers.

The briefcase with Senators Evers evidence was on a safety deposit box and an ultra secure facility, John brings in Hailey and Senators Evers guard to pull the job, I rather not spoil the plan but it was intense and Hailey was a big part of it, Ben constantly told John he was going to get cross by Evers guard and he did, but John had it all plan out using a decoy briefcase. This is all fiction, keep in mind this kind of things done happen in real life but Hailey got caught using an infrared laser to trigger sensor but I'm not sure how she got out, there has to be an explanation and they fail at it on this scene, that I don't like.

Hailey finally got John, he start to have and show feelings for her, I dont like this neither, probably its true Ben could be a double agent or even the bad guy and she was getting between them on previous episode but Im still not clear on her true intentions with John, probably Im just falling into the series rabbit hole and dont trust any of the characters, lets say its true she found John on a dating app and have nothing to do with Crowley, in that case good for John, after all she did gave him $20 Million as escrow to pull the job and safe his ass after he left a key behind in the safety deposit facility.

After watching the last scene again where John, Ben, Hailey and Homm are watching the news of Senator Evers killer they were all in the same room, John gets this two text on a chat session for a game he play with Valance, so it was not Ben or Hailey working John, its either Valance or some one else trying to trick John, for the second time on the episode the inception effect kicks in hard.

Probably the best episode so far in terms of mind games, before I was not clear on Hailey but now I'm starting to doubt if Ben is really on John side after all he never told him about his team been dead and that he knew about Kyle the intern, that would have help John a lot, also more than one time during this episode felt everything was fake, when John ask Hailey to borrow him $20 million and when John gets the text from Valence at the end, after all isn't that what John does? create an environment to trick people into doing things without having to force them? I would love this series to be like five season.
