Money Changes Everything in ‘Guilt’s Penultimate Episode

If Guilt proves one thing, it’s that the Brothers McCall are hard to kill. It’s the third episode of the final season, and once again, Max and Jake escape with their lives, Max having talked Teddy into joining forces. Although Teddy expected Maggie to pay him for the brothers’ “murder” and be released from her employ, Maggie extends their terms. She’ll pay him in two days – after the bank deal goes through and she gets her cut from Sturrock. In the meantime, Maggie sends him to spy on Aliza, and Teddy gets photos of the bank documents, which he shows to Max. The connection isn’t yet clear, but if Maggie is interested in Aliza, Max reasons they should be too.

Kenny splits off from the group and wants Skye to extricate herself as well, but she is committed to getting herself out of debt. In flashbacks, we learn that Skye and Danny made the plan together but didn’t expect his dealer gang to go as far as murdering Big Al (Jonathan Watson). (They finally named the character!) In the present day, Skye and Danny plot to take Maggie’s money and run away together – because their first plan went so well. Looks like this is a romance, not just a friendship.

For Max’s scheme, Skye goes undercover as a maid at Aliza’s hotel. She enters the hotel’s conference room to “vacuum” as Aliza is exiting and photographs key documents from the bank deal while Aliza is at the hotel restaurant. Jake watches Aliza from a spot at the bar. When she opts to have her food sent to the conference room, Jake intercepts and tries to stall her with awkward flirtation. It buys Skye enough time to exit just as Aliza returns.
