'Guilt' Season 2's Penultimate Episode Remembers to Bring Insurance

The penultimate episode of Guilt Season 2 picks up with Max and Erin glossing over the previous evening and moving straight to bringing down Roy Lynch. Max talks to Roy about working on Phoenix while Erin tells her mother she’s leaving Edinburgh. Maggie admits she’s been meeting Roy over the New Leith project, a legitimate business. If she can forgive him (Roy is responsible for Maggie being a wheelchair user), then Erin should. Once Erin leaves, Maggie calls Roy, saying Erin has agreed to join them, but only if she has her own lawyer. Roy mentions Max has been sniffing around and is checking on his early release. Maggie says if they use Max, they’ll need to call in the “insurance.”

Stevie tells Yvonne he’s working for Jackie Thomsen and needs Max McCall’s file. Jackie says to remove Max’s cooperation agreement before handing it over. Yvonne mentions her AA friend, Kenny, works at one of the addresses on Jackie’s list. Jackie assures her it’s McCall she wants. Stevie reports to Roy there’s no record of cooperation in Max’s file, resulting in Max getting a call from Roy saying he requires some subterfuge.

At the office, Kenny shows Max surveillance images from the Rose Street casino with Teddy’s brother Joe, Adrian, and the bag of money. Max insists they stop investigating and tell Teddy they found nothing, just as a man seeking a divorce wanders in. But while Max is out, Teddy arrives and sees the photos. Kenny makes soothing noises, but Teddy threatens him, saying if the voices in his head take over, they’ll never stop. Kenny gives him the casino’s location, and Teddy heads there to see what he can learn.
