#Power season 1 episode 6 recap full#

Why would they feel the need to give her the full picture? WouldnвЂ™t it be much easier and safer just to give her orders and information on a need-to-know basis? So, when Jo said she didnвЂ™t know anything about the Lawrence Christopher case, Darren HunterвЂ™s involvement, or what Gail Vella was looking intoвЂ¦ well, we were inclined to believe her, despite the fact that Superintendent Ted Hastings (Adrian Dunbar) didnвЂ™t.ДЄfter all, Jo has spent her entire career being forced to follow the orders of Tommy Hunter and his successor(s). But after persuasive questioning from Steve and Ted, she did confirm a few things: she was the one who alerted the OCG to the raid on вЂњRoss TurnerвЂќ, so a decoy could be set up she ensured the wrong surveillance authority was requested, on purpose she framed Farida she planted the files in BuckellsвЂ™ car she steered the inquiry away from organised crime and she was meant to frame Terry Boyle, but she just couldnвЂ™t bear to do it. Aside from that, she either A) told the truth or B) gave a вЂњno commentвЂќ.Дuring the course of the interrogation, she gave a lot of вЂњno commentвЂќ responses.

claiming that she was the one who killed PC Ryan Pilkington (Gregory Piper), not Kate. JoвЂ™s policy during her AC-12 interview seemed to be that sheвЂ™d tell no lies, except for the big one вЂ“ i.e. Did Jo know that Gail Vella was looking into the Lawrence Christopher case? And Kate was even letting Jo direct the car, so it doesnвЂ™t seem like she had any plan at all (except for fleeing the lorry park asap). If she and Jo had more time before the police found them, they might have recovered GailвЂ™s computers from the Kingsgate print shop вЂ“ and been able to provide that as a peace offering.Д«ut still. But when she almost refused to surrender to the police at gunpoint: Kate, what were you doing? Admittedly it would have taken a little longer if Osborne hadnвЂ™t put a tracker on the car вЂ“ something that neither Kate nor Steve knew about, which is why Kate freaked out that sheвЂ™d been set up (and why she feared that Ted and Steve betrayed her). Plus, the police were always going to find her and Jo eventually. If she left the scene because she was trying to protect Jo, that also seems very ill-advised, especially as Jo had literally just arranged KateвЂ™s murder. There might have been some fuss about it all, but Kate should probably have just stayed put and waited for forensics to turn up. He was pointing an illegal workshopped gun at her, heвЂ™d made Jo lure her to the rendezvous, and AC-12 has evidence that Ryan was an OCG mole. She was fully authorised to carry a firearm, and she clearly shot Ryan in self-defence. To recap: She and Jo jumped in her service vehicle, abandoned that vehicle, headed to SteveвЂ™s garage, took his car keys and a burner phone, and borrowed his car for a drive through town.Д«ecause really, Kate had no need to flee arrest. WeвЂ™re still slightly baffled by KateвЂ™s decision to do a runner from the lorry park after shooting Ryan Pilkington dead. Why did Kate run away? What was her gameplan?

WeвЂ™ve rounded up all the theories about Jo DavidsonвЂ™s вЂfatherвЂ™, so take a look at that article for more. Another prime candidate would be Chief Inspector Philip Osborne (Owen Teale) himself. That said, Jo did react (a lot) to the name and image of вЂњMarcus ThurwellвЂќ, who is a plausible candidate. вЂњThis person, did he control you the same way Tommy Hunter did?вЂќ Steve asked, but all he got in response was a вЂњno commentвЂќ. It also means that Jo would never have to fear being connected to this man by DNA analysis.Д«ut Jo now refuses to tell AC-12 about her father. Or, option two: was Jo referring to an adoptive father, who raised her as his own? This seems more likely.

But maybe young Jo was told that a senior figure in the police force was her motherвЂ™s rapist, and maybe sheвЂ™s believed it ever since. ItвЂ™s possible, although she did say she was never told вЂњthe detailsвЂќ of her motherвЂ™s rape. Option one: was she referring to a man who she thought was her biological father? If so, sheвЂ™d be referring to a man she thought was her motherвЂ™s rapist. So, when Jo told Kate about вЂњmy dadвЂќ the bent copper, she clearly wasnвЂ™t referring to Thomas John Hunter. Jo joined the police at 19, and has been trapped into doing the OCGвЂ™s bidding ever since. Samantha knew she couldnвЂ™t protect young Jo from вЂњUncle TommyвЂќ, and took her own life. She gave birth to Jo and raised her for the next 16 years, but at that point Tommy вЂњcame lookingвЂќ and told his high-achieving niece (and secret daughter) that she had to join the police force and do his bidding. Teenage Samantha Hunter was sent to Glasgow under her motherвЂ™s maiden name, and so became вЂњSamantha DavidsonвЂќ.
