I thought the series was falling flat until this episode. Barry is back in full force after this tremendous episode with a nice twist to end it.

I never ever expected the twist ending for sure, and I can't wait to see the fate of Ronny Proxin because he has no chance against Barry for sure.

It's only now that I'm watching Barry, and it's hard to believe that at the time this episode debuted, it would be another three (yes three!) years before season three debuted.

1. Barry, Sally and Sam have dinner 2. Barry is pissed 3. Loach finds out about Barry

This episode was excellent. Perfect buildup. This was an episode that really delve into Barry and his character. First, we can see that Barry tries to hold in his anger when he first meets Sam. He succeeds in it but lashes out later at one of Hank's men. This one was the one that's good at shooting so I suspect that part of his anger also came from the fact that he seems to be in a similar position as his younger self. Barry also tells Sally that it's ok to have secrets and not all our outwardly appearance has to match the truth. Sally is slightly confused and surprised but for Barry, this advice was coming from the heart. He can't live if he doesn't follow it!

Barry almost kills Sally (or Sam) as he followed Sally to Sam's hotel and was ready to fire. Sally still couldn't stand up to Sam but nothing significant happened thankfully. Barry regrets his actions and he finds Gene to confide in. We finally find out what Barry has done and it's clear that he should not share it with anyone else because it's basically murder out of anger. Once this dark secret was out, Gene and Barry bonded together by their brokenness. It's not clear if Gene truly cared about him as the billing line was hilarious. Gene has officially taken the position of Barry's father figure, next to Fuches. Both take hope that they can change for the better, past their regretful history.

The ending was spot on because the audience has been paranoid that Loach was onto Barry and arrest him. But hilariously, it was just him to ask Barry another favor to kill someone. Barry can never escape. Another great subversion of expectation and a fantastic episode!

My Reaction / Review for Barry Season 2 Episode 4 ''What?!'' (S2. E4): Episode 3 was great and I gave it a rating of 8.5/10. Let's see if this one is better or worse. Fuches still helping the police to catch Barry, that sucks. Sally's ex husband is looking for trouble. Barry doesn't seem to be happy about it, I hope he will have the chance to punch the guy in the face. Wow Barry almost killed Sam, I didn't expect that. After all there was more to the story of Barry and the Army. I love every scene with Gene. Seems like Fuches doesn't wanna work with the police anymore? And Barry falls right into the police's trap, that sucks. Lol the police officer wants Barry to kill the new boyfriend of his ex wife? That's nuts, I didn't expect it. My rating for this episode is 8.8/10.
