Recap of the Season 5 Premiere of Animal Kingdom: Shots, Anyone? Gunshots?
Warning: The following contains spoilers for Sunday’s Season 5 premiere of Animal Kingdom. If you’d rather watch first, read later, move away from this recap as quickly as possible
Animal Kingdom returned with a vengeance Sunday night, over two years (!) after the Season 4 conclusion (refresh your memory here), teeing up a Season 5 debut that left three characters dead and ushered in what could well be a whole new Pope. Or, at the very least, a different Pope. Continue reading and I'll explain...
'THIS IS ALL SMURF' | Let's start with what happened in the '80s flashbacks in "Red-Handed." Julia and Andrew were moppet age by that point in our timeline, the former already an expert at rolling Mom's joints and the latter displaying every sign of OCD short of writing the letters with the pickles he recovered from his Happy Meal. Janine was putting herself up for Mother of the Year by teaching the kids how to pickpockets and shoplift, as well as unleashing Pope on a brat who accidentally splashed his sister in the pool. Janine started packing the children in vamoose after Andrew almost drowned the criminal before the authorities responded to the call from the victim's mother. However, Smurf can't really let it go. Rather than just be glad that the cops did not turn up to inquire where they had acquired their stolen credit card, she set a fire which blown the woman's automobile – making Pope very enjoyable. Sensitive Julia later openly was worried about her brother's not moving about. Mom said he needed more. What else? "Something else just."
The Cody lads were now frightened, knowing that the suddenly fatherless Pope's cousin knew of their address on the oceans and was going to give them a call at home. Solution of the Pope? Back the final Smurf hurrah for $1M of gold they stole. That is what was agreed. Not so very, Craig. The family rocket scientist wanted them to hide until everything was blown over. As if the killing of Smurf's father was something that would blow away. No, Pope answered, the gold had to be returned. It's been or it's all killed, and they couldn't. "They’re blood." It is blood. The next day, the fellows staked off the mail drop shop at which Pope had left the vehicle on the complex... And he found out that Jed's boys had already missed them. The cashier would beat up and took Smurf's apartment address. Um, what the flat? said the Codys as though they didn't know that Mama's secrets would never run out. When J put the gold with Deran in a storage place, J asked whether anything had to be done about losing Adrian. "I handled it," Deran answered. How? "It’s handled." So, Olivia Pope, okay then!
‘MORNIN’, FELLAS’ | In Smurf's hidden hideout, the Codys obtained the goal of returning the riches from the Pope's cousins — Nick Stahl, who had been freshly re-enacted by Fear the walking dead. Which was nice and all right, but Jed was still dead. Yeah, Smurf, well, answered J. J. He personally was going to shoot her. Pope said his discovered family, "It didn't mean you," what occurred in the compound. "It was not us." "It was not us." It all concerned the settlement of past scores by Smurf. Unusually sensible, he recommended that Pope come somewhere, knowing that Colin had entered into the country of his brother, not only to get the money and to go, Pope told his staff afterward, "It is finished." This plainly indicated that it was not. Nick Stahl & Co. disconnected the electricity at Cody's that night and seized the spot with lenses at night. One by one, the lads of Jed were sent — with a particularly dreadful end at the hand of the pape in the pool, with Odin. (We knew from the first season he was always enthusiastic about drowning) During the smoke, Pope, Crash, and J — including the non-faded Nick Stahl — loaded up and scratched their bodies, leaving Deran to pay the officer for not examining the gunshot complaints of the neighbors too carefully. "When Smurf was alive, this s-t was never the case," he commented. "Tighten up better."
Pope sent Craig and J away in the meanwhile – he was going to deal with the bodies personally. Cue The eyes of Nick Stahl widen in terror. Pope had Nick Stahl excavate a tomb after going to a secluded area, in which his brothers' remains were dropped. Then it's the time for Nick Stahl to get in. Pope could envision his mother saying, "Take out the garbage, Andrew." "'You're doing that.'" Or at least he'd done it — he'd have to do it. "She would make me," he remarked. He might make another option, though, left to his own devices—that maybe he did for the first time in his life. He left Nick Stahl to go... well, perhaps a word that is "enjoyed" too powerful. At least he saw from beneath Smurf's thumb what life may look like.
