Nicole goes to Samantha Archer’s home and kills her. Did you see that coming? Why did she feel the need to do it personally?

I was very surprised when that happened. I thought Brad may come back because he forgot something at Sam's house and scare off Nicole.

I'm not sure why Nicole felt she had to be the one to kill Sam. Maybe because she worked directly under Sam at the DEA and she wanted to show her that she could have killed her at any time in the past couple of years.

Like you, Robin, I thought Brad might save the day. Didn’t see this coming. I had to think for a bit about her motivation because it was highly risky. The only thing I could come up with is she might have resented the years of being bossed around by Samantha and how she was arrested. It was important to her to let her know she was the one in control, the boss of her and taking her life.

It was cold, calculating and evil.

I didn't see it coming either and I agree with your thoughts, Jonetta. She wanted Sam to know who was really boss.

And it was petty.

I agree with Jonetta. It was risky for her to kill Sam personally and the motivation fits. Nicole is the brains of the crime family, but no one knows that. Being bossed around by Sam had to rankle.

Every single day.

I didn't see it coming; I wondered how Brad carried on after that.

I agree. I didn't see it coming. I really wanted Brad to return before it was too late.
