- “Boy Smells Rat” “Boy Smells Rat” is largely an introduction, but to several things — the characters, the stakes, and some faintly fantastical elements to be extrapolated on later.
- “Boy Gets Chop” “Boy Gets Chop” catches up to the cold open of the premiere, leaving things on a major cliffhanger. Before that, we meet a couple of intriguing new characters and get to enjoy the family dynamic before it all goes wrong.
- “Run Boy Run” “Run Boy Run” is a slightly slower-paced installment with fewer key developments. It unfurls mostly in the long specter of the previous episode’s brutal cliffhanger, with Lyle missing (presumed dead), Frankie in prison, having invented some cockamamie story to protect the kids, and Eli and Gus having been housed with their alcoholic biological father, Robert.
- “Boy Loses Dad” The boys are still living with Robert, who remains a drunk idiot. However, “Boy Loses Dad” does give us some insight into Gus’s mildly supernatural abilities.
