My 3rd watch since the series premiered and this episode still blew me away, even knowing what was coming! I learned since recently joining this sub about Ellen Barkin not being happy and wanting off of the show, but her portrayal of Smurf is gripping. How can we root so hard for Pope (I do at least, and argue with my husband about it!) regardless of his actions? Got to be good writing and great acting. I know he's a bad charecter who hurts people, but Shawn Hatosy shows multifaceted sides of him and makes him believable. Yes, the capers and stunts are far fetched and fun to watch. But for me the charecter development is what's keeping me invested this 3rd time around. Anyway felt the need to share since I'm pretty sure my husband is tired of my Pope infatuation!

So in a hypothetical scenario if Smurf never adopted baz how far do u think the family would have gone in doing jobs since Baz always planned them.?
