It was pretty evident Tara was going to wind up dead one way or another.
I dunno...most of the episode was stupid. All the stuff with the Mayans and Nero seems overly complicated. And they murdered those black guys from Marks' crew...that probably wasn't smart.
The whole bit where Unser tells Gemma about how Tara must've ratted out the club, and then goes to the ice cream joint and doesn't freak out that Gemma took off drunk is really dumb.
But the scene with the BBQ fork. Ouch.
This show needs a strong finale season, because it's been kinda floundering for a long time here...reminds me of how Dexter started strong and then went in the toilet in the later seasons.
