Parish (2024) : Blood in the Water - Season 1 - Episode 2 - RECAP
Episode one was catalog as a Pilot episode and those are usually not strong ones so many don't even consider it as a real episode and even few times its taken away from the production but in this case episode two of Parish (2024) I would say was stronger, I still have a hard time watching Gean Carlo trying to play the role of a bad ass because lets be honest he is not look like on, even during the times of Breaking Bad he was the elegant master mind behind everything, a business man , he most likely fit into the wise old retired wheel man role who know how to deal with the BOSS and even act as a boss.
To keep things short and not spoil the entire episode, he safe The Horse ass this time, sounds funny but truth is that I still don't know his first name. On episode two they talk a bit more about their real business, human trafficking and the job Parish pull was basically to get a back of stolen passports that most likely belong to working people who someone brought and basically enslave them.

Little by little more of Parish's son is been reveal this time we only got a small glimpse of the accident but does feature a cop in specific who latter on goes to talk to Parish about Colin.
Episode one also ends with Parish and Colin with a lot of shit on their hands now with a dead man, not only dead but a lot of blood on his garage he knows that if things are not done right and some trail is left behind he will most likely be fucked big time and who knows if it might tied him to his past, besides Colin was part of this job.
We already know that The Horse runs a family business, there is his brother, sister and father back at home who is probably the one who started the hole thing, although Zenzo his brother use to run the show when they were in Africa, I wonder when and how The Horse took his place? and if at some point might lead to any of the three betray each other, Zenzo could actually enrage with envy and sell out The Horse to gain control of the family business.
There is an entire scene of Colin and Parish cleaning up the mess and it was a cool scene, it really makes you think how hard is to cover up something like that, all the labor and details included, besides all the cleaning they have to do to get rid of all the blood on the floor and on them because burning their clothes wont cut it and to make things worst they almost got caught by Parish secretary, took them all night to clean up everything.
There is one aspect of getting rid of the body that really look stupid although they some how have to add a risky move to raise everyone dopamine levels, Parish decides to take the body home with him and hide it on the garage freezer, his wife and daughter almost caught him, his wife was the one closer to the body when she tries to open the freezer but he put on a punching bag on lid, make no sense how she didn't ask him to remove so she could open the freezer, it was just too obvious, that part I didn't like at all.
To make things worst for him the local police, NOPD shows up to Parish place asking for Colin and he lie to them in front of wife and daughter, refusing he has seen Colin in the last 17 years, its weird how they looking for Colin because after getting rid of the body he was interview by his parole officer, he is an ex convict and still under Probation so makes me think he either ran away or kill them, I don't think he was that stupid to kill them but now shit hit the fan for Parish since he will be dragged with Colin, that is what the story is all about, how Parish gets dragged back into his old life.
The Horse and his sister pays a visit to a man called Perry Lousteau, he also seem to be involve in the human tracking business, they talk about cutting the middle men meaning they will bring him all the labor he needs and even cutting his expenses to half of what it currently is, they mostly talk about servants and drivers so there is the chance that they not talking about his house but he must have some sort of business where he has if not hundreds of employees or workers probably at a farm or factory who would work for The Horse at half of the price, if not a third of what this guy Perry will actually pay for, Perry did mention that he is in but the middle man they getting rid of wont let this slide and I think that is why The Horse towards then end is involve on a shooting, I doubt they kill him in the second episode it just don't make sense but Parish was at the wheel and got his son safe, this will put him high in the ranks and probably get him some trouble with Zenzo when he see his brother praise Parish for what he did.
Episode two did pick up the pace and I'm glad they did because if would be a total disappoint after episode one but I hope it will slowly keep improving, what really intrigue me right now is what is the story behind Parish's son death if it happen because of old life and now he is going back to it, something I don't like about AMC series is that they give out a big chunk of next episode and sadly I let the video run til the end since I was doing something else after I finish and heard most of whats coming up and its exactly that, Parish will have to face his wife for whats going on at the moment, most likely Colin will sell him out so it really interest me how Parish reacts, if he either go all in with The Horse crew or he tries to get out of all that trouble.
