All signs were heading towards Ray and Michelle becoming romantically involved in time.
Still,episode 5 really jumped the gun on their romantic development, which undermines Michelle’s strong-willed character.

It should be helpful to have Bart more involved to pick up Ray’s slack in future episodes.
I’m stillwondering what Ray and Manny plan to do with the money.
If that Amish scene tells us anything, it’s that neither of them has a clue.
Dope Thief follows two lifelong friends from Philadelphia who impersonate DEA agents to commit a robbery, inadvertently stumbling upon a major narcotics corridor.
