Boisie's Risks Finally Catch Up to Joan in "Time for a Change"

To hear Joan (Sophie Turner) tell it, you'd think that Boisie (Frank Dillane) was Mr. Perfect, but the rose-colored glasses finally came off even for her in the fourth episode of her titular series. The news that the Ashburys were hoping to adopt Kelly lit a fire under Joan's butt to get on the straight and narrow as soon as possible. When the cops visited Boisie's antique shop and asked about the missing Stubbs painting they stole in Sussex, Joan told him it was time for them to go legit.

The idea of going legit didn't sit well with Boisie, and he thought Joan wanted the same kind of life. That's what sparked their romance in the first place. But he was in love, so what else can you do besides what the Mrs. says? Well, sort of. Joan told Boisie to chuck the painting in the river so the cops would never find it, and what he heard was to find a buyer as soon as possible. It turned out that the only people who wanted to buy a painting that the cops were urgently looking for were the IRA because paintings were more accessible for a terrorist group to trade for weapons and supplies than moving cash. The more you know!

Joan was committed to going straight, though. She signed up for classes that would allow her and Boisie to open up a jewelry shop, and wouldn't you know, she was very good at assessing diamonds and rare jewels. Unfortunately, her prowess attracted the attention of an undercover cop who was also taking the class. He offered her a deal to get her out of suspicion for the Stubbs robbery if she agreed to inform him about other criminals. Our girl was no rat, though, and told the cop to shove it.
