I have to be brutally hones, the shooting scene at the cemetery was ok until they shot Shepherd, he falls a few meters latter and they had him right there ready to be executed and some how they get spooked by the NOPD shopper, they were just meters away and could have pull the trigger and hurt him badly but instead decided to run away scared of been arrested, if you laying in the ground like that and some one is trying to kill you from that distance they would at least pull the trigger several times to hurt you.
While everyone was waiting for Parish at home, they had an appointment to show the house they trying to sell; Parish was busy trying to keep Shepherd alive, ironically Zenzo is Shepherd head of security and until now I don't know if he let him go on purpose alone with Parish his driver or he was just so naive, they looking of them but they all three took Perry words very light when he said some one was going to get mad af for what they trying to accomplish and control the market, on the suspicion that something happen to Shepherd, both Zenzo and Shamiso start looking for him.
Shepherd is afraid that their phones are been monitored or they looking for him at the local hospital so he want nothing to do with cell phones or hospital at the moment, Parish decided to take him with Sister Anne who he knows wont say no to him on top they have Luke with them too so that's leverage for him. Anne in fact takes them in and get things clear form both Parish and Shepherd, she wants nothing to do with them but as in any other similar story she some how from now on might be involve or probably even snitch on Parish and I would not blame her, she knows who Sheperd is or at least that's what she says, not sure if she only assume who he is.
When all the shooting start to happen there were no names and I had no clue who was after Shepherd until now, what looks to be a group of army guy probably mercenaries lead by Anton played by Bradley Whitford who I have seen play the villain role and he is kind of a cool villain, puts up this crazy face like he is insane and don't give a shit all the time, people are often afraid like the guy is a psychotic, Anton is probably the guy who was supplying Perry with slaves, essentially he wants Shepherd dead for messing with his business.
In terms of context or plot, Parish does not really brings anything new to the table so most of the scenes are very predictable except when it gets to his family, that side of the story kicks in leaving many questions when the hustling and gangster side does not, as an obvious response to the current situation Shamiso, Shepherd sister; goes to Perry for some answers but the guy is just another pawn.
Its here where things get interested for the Parish story, its the mystery of how really his son died and how he is going to explain the world of shit he is in to his wife and daughter before its too late and they end up stuck like him, usually when a character gets this kind of problems things just get worst and worst, this time in the even that no body can locate Parish for the last 12 hours his wife goes to the Taxi Garage to find out he has not been there neither and find a file with tons of data about their son who seem to be dead after some car hijack, leaving the question of why this happen? was this because of Parish past life? I thought it was just a car accident but from the paper it is more than that. Parish wife Rose has now notify the police about his disappearance and will start looking for him, same guys who were questioning him the other day about Colin so the probability they had something on Colin and him has grown exponentially.
Most of the episode happens at the church with Sister Anne and after that there was not much but details like Parish been missing, not been able to show the house, no body has seen him create a series of events that make his family discover what he is in at the moment, I doubt Anne is going to snitch on him unless she has no other option in any case would be if her life is at risk and not last there is Anton who I would like more background and proper introduction of what he does for a living, at first when he shows up he is driving a crane and then he is all dress up, he is the type of Italian gangster who owns a scrap yard?
