This week’s episode was filled with intense action and suspense. While everyone once again did a fabulous job with the episode, this weeks performer of the week is Renee Felice Smith.

Nell went through something that was true to nature, unless you are a complete psychopath. She shot and killed a man, even though it was self defense, it’s still something hard to deal with because you’re taking another mans life. I love that the show went this rout, because it’s not something you see on cop shows. Most shows the Cops, FBI or Federal Agents they kill and move on, because they know it’s either them or the bad guys. So to see how someone would deal with or feel after killing someone for the first time isn’t something they do.

In the very beginning of the scene when Nate first comes to Nell’s door, even though she’s not doing so well because of her first time killing someone, she still has the instinct to grab the gun. She’s not sure who’s at the door and she goes for the gun. It’s a really telling moment. When it came to the Nell and Nate scene it really felt genuine. That is one thing this show has been constant about, that when it comes to moments where a character is going through something, the scenes of talking it through are genuine. They feel natural and never feel over the top or too much. Then came in Hetty who gave Nell the push she needed to help get her back into her right headspace. It was just want Nell needed, so in the end she was there to protect Hetty, when it seemed like she was backed into a corner.
