Everyone is running from something in the latest episode ofBad Monkey.
Yancy tops the episode by calling his old pal Rogelio for help.
He claims that hes in A jam, maybe even a pickle.
Hes also conflicted because Sonny tricked him into admitting that he helped Yancy after the Miami PD wanted him.
When Yancy arrives at Rogelios house, the cops are there to arrest him.
Its a pretty stunning moment of betrayal, but honestly what did Yancy think he was going to do?
With a putrid finger in his pocket?
Yancy is a big ol justice warrior, and he wants to see Nick answer for his crimes.
Hes unclear on Eves involvement, but he knows shes also very suspect.
Could this possibly be the very first time this guy has been arrested?
Or has he been arrested before?
Then, in a last-minute twist, Ro comes to the rescue.
Mendez runs, and Yancy is free to go.
The episode juxtaposes Yancys brutal honesty with Bonnies plight.
Bonnie is a very lost soul.
At the top of the episode, Yancy comes home to find both her and Cody in his home.
Bonnie diffuses the situation and asks if she can stay at the Yancy family cabin.
This man truly thrives in chaos.
When Bonnie and Cody get there, Yancys dad is there.
Scott Glenn is the picture of unruffled cool as he hosts his unexpected guests.
He chills with them on the dock and offers gems of advice to Bonnie.
When she respectfully rejects his famous pickle speech, he understands.
This dude seems like he would be a great therapist.
During her visit, Bonnie dives into the crystal clear body of water at the back of the cabin.
Its a lovely meditation on respecting the natural world and allowing things to grow at their own pace.
Bonnie counters by telling him that its actually scientific: Its geology.
But when she dives into the water, she comes face-to-face with a sweet manatee.
What is a manatee if not magic made manifest?
Its written in the voice of a young boy.
Over in Andros, no one is running from the law.
Neville tries to go see the Dragon Queen, but shes busy canoodling with Egg.
Perhaps shes playing the long game on his behalf, but probably not.
Egg spots Neville through the window and shoots at him, getting him good in the arm.
Neville escapes, but hes hurt badly.
Much to Eggs chagrin, Neville seems to disappear off of the face of the earth.
Egg returns to the queen, but she wants something more from him than just sex.
The meeting between these two wildly mismatched couples underscores both the income disparity and racial disparity between them.
Her power is stealthy and strong.
Egg even feels it.
He officially introduces her to his employers as the Dragon Queen with deep reverence in his voice.
Nick doesnt catch that though, and flippantly responds, What the fuck is a Dragon Queen?
Nick quickly learns that hes not wanted or needed in this interaction.
Eve and the queen negotiate the sale of the land, but theyre also sizing one another up.
The queen isnt deterred by Eves cheery Mean Girl vibes.
To her, disrespect is always personal.
We see that Eve is actually scared for maybe the first time in her life.
Shes so terrified, in fact, that she kidnaps the queen at the end of the episode.
Okay, okay, we dont actually know that its her, but it has to be, right?
Eve loves money, Tilly, baby carrots, and violence, in that order.
Quite frankly, Nick is probably down at the end of that list.
There are other reasons that Eve should be scared, too.
At the conclusion of the episode, Claspers returns from Andros with a bunch of asshole drug runners.
Rosa is there, snooping, and when everyone clears out she makes a shocking discovery in the plane.
Perhaps the Dragon Queen didnt forget about young Neville after all.
Now we know what Eve was doing dropping five grand at Asias boutique: research.
Even though Rosa isnt in this episode a lot, she has a few fun moments.
At one point she tells Yancy, You make me need coffee.
Lawrence plays Caitlin in the show; shes creator Bill Lawrences daughter, and shes also a musician.
Its one of Pettys best songs, and Lawrence delivers a sweet, serviceable cover.
