But, as anyone around her should really know, Alicia’s experiences with Peter have made her hate being used as a pawn in the corruption of others, and she tries to stick with her first choice, Martha. The committee votes for Caitlin without even notifying Alicia, which seems unnecessarily unprofessional, and she feels betrayed, especially when Will admits he voted with Lee. “I feel used, Will. I feel like I was given a job and it was taken away from me.” And that’s the heart of things, really: long ago, Alicia put her trust in a powerful man, embraced the role he gave her, and was betrayed; as a result of that betrayal, she had to build herself a new life, and now she fears that the same thing is happening with Will. If it had only happened once, she could safely blame her betrayer, but if a version of what happened with Peter happens again with Will, she’ll have to start wondering if it’s her, if she’s somehow bringing these things upon herself.

This show hasn't been as good this season, but this episode was an exception. Dylan Baker is great as Sweeney, he is one of the best actors at being realistically creepy instead of just cartoonish creepy - anybody that has seen Happiness can attest to that.
ReplyDeleteAll the scenes with Sweeney and Alicia were gold, and I was also happy that they used "Riot Rhythm" by Sleigh Bells during the time tells her he likes her and when they ask him to wear a wire - watch them at http://vimeo.com/31283792
