The game takes an unexpected turn


Franco got his wish when Jason finally opened up about his life as a hit man, unfortunately the words spoken by his idol were not what the demented artist wanted to hear.

Jason spoke briefly about the car accident that left him brain damaged and how Sonny was the only one to accept him for who he was at that moment and not the boy formally known as Jason Quartermaine.

Franco was not happy to learn that Jason didn't embrace what it means to be a killer and told his 'boy toy' he should have "died in the accident."

Jason finally had enough of Franco's twisted game and told him he was going to snap his neck. Jason ultimately decided knowing where Sam and Lulu were being held was more important than killing Franco.

Knowing there was no time to spare, as Franco said, the ladies had just minutes to live before the bombs went off; Jason called Dominic to give him Lulu's location as he set out to save Sam.

One of the most chilling points of the episode was the ending montage, after Franco spoke directly into a camera; featuring Sam, Jason, Dominic and Lulu.

Jason and Dominic drove frantically in their cars trying to get to their lady loves in time. Lulu screamed, cried and struggled to get her hands free as Sam, more composed, tried to find a way to get out of glass house Franco put her in. The music, the four main players and the time ticking off the detonators was a brilliant way to air the final sequence.

The part that hit me the most was when Jason ran into the room and Sam looked at him as if to say, "I knew you would find me, but this time you may actually be too late." The look was priceless and was totally in character.

In reality all the previews and spoilers have already told us that all four make it out alive, but seeing the clock wind down and the episode ending was one of the better "cliffhanger" Friday's we've seen in a long time.
