Speaking of things ready to explode. We were light on action but the double cross going on between Dre and Ghost has been quiet but it produced a couple dead bodies last night. Dre and Ghost are “working together” to kill Diego Jimenez and Jason Micic. That works for Dre because he’s got Alicia Jimenez as his connect and it works for Ghost because he is trying to get clean (where have we this before) and is under Jason’s thumb. Too bad Dre doesn’t realize that 2Bit and Spanky aren’t feeling him right now. 2Bit reveals Dre’s side of the plan to Kanan who kills Diego and his bodyguard but keep Jason alive. Kanan reveals to Jason that Ghost and Tommy aren’t holding up their end of the bargain on killing the Jimenez, but he is and can be trusted to take Tommy’s spot in Jason’s organization. Kanan pulls this off masterfully by proving his “trustworthiness” to Jason in warning him that Dre was coming to kill him.
Dre’s plan to kill Jason and have 2Bit and Spanky kill Ghost is foiled and we can’t help but think a large part of that is Dre’s inability to see the whole chessboard and properly manage his underlings. We said 2Bit would be a problem after Dre’s continued disrespect of him. Kanan sees that and uses it to his advantage to play 2Bit against Dre. Let us not forget that Kanan, Ghost, and Tommy all have a reason to kill Dre. His days look like they might be numbered. He better hope, fine ass Alicia Jimenez wants him and will do what’s needed to keep him alive.
