Bobble Head
The focus of Bobble Head is Hoyt Rawlins (Matt Barr), who already in his first scenes for plenty of “whirl“Cares. He is involved in the case with the arms dealer Sharon Terreto (Marisilda Garcia), who is shadowed by Micki (Lindsey Morgan) and Cordell (Jared Padalecki). At the same time, he is also an old friend of Cordell, is seen by Abeline (Molly Hagan) as a kind of foster son and is also popular with the rest of the Walker family with the exception of Bonham (Mitch Pileggi).
The case of the week is thus directly connected to the Walkers through Hoyt, which complicates the investigation for Cordell and plays directly into the family structure. An interesting starting position, from which a lot will be extracted in the course of the following while we get to know Hoyt a little better. Matt Barr plays the role just right, making Hoyt appear likeable at any time, even though he has strayed from the right path. As a viewer, you are actually unsure whether you would rather have seen him escape in the end.
The only subplot deals with Stella (Violet Brinson) and August (Kale Culley). As Stella looks forward to her drug possession trial, Auggie decides to go to the traditional one Bonfire participate and look too deep into the bottle. The siblings swap their roles from the first two episodes a little, although I have to agree with Bret (Alex Landi): August in a drunk state was worth seeing.
Hoyt Rawlins
With his return to Austin, Hoyt brings a certain dynamic into the action that is incredibly good for the episode. There we have “Mr. Conflict of Interest“Cordell Walker, who likes to look back on the old days and remembers it together with Geri (Odette Annable) and Hoyt at a poker game. Before Micki shows up and Cordell points out that an arms dealer must be caught in the act. In the family environment, Hoyt meanwhile creates tension between Abeline and Bonham, which reverberates towards the end of the episode.
For my taste, however, it never goes deep enough into the past to fully understand the character of Hoyt. Again, we are faced with the problem that Cordell’s past has large gaps. This week the void exists around the meager insight into his friendship with Hoyt, his former relationship with Geri, or the more specific circumstances that led Abeline to consider him a foster son (apparently he saved her son’s life once – but how and under what circumstances remains open).
