Sugar Recap: Who Are You, John Sugar?


A few hours into the case, we have a new mystery: Who is John Sugar?

“Henry, you would love it,” Sugar says (the twinkle in Colin Farrell’s eye and the warmth in his tempered rasp remind one, for the thousandth time in this 33-minute episode, what an absolute dynamite role this is for our reigning Teddy Bear–Irish Rogue icon). Sitting across from one another in an ominous secret-bunker-ass room, Ruby lectures Sugar on the subjective thoughts that dot his notebook meant for “an objective account of personal interactions as a result of my stated profession.” (“I love how the curtains move back and forth above the air conditioner,” a blunt-poetic Chandler-esque observation if there ever was one.) “Call in the others.” With that, Ruby all but deletes Stallings’s career history in the annals of NSA cyberdom as Melanie shows up at Bernie’s door (maybe this former blonde bombshell ain’t so trustworthy, after all), and Sugar wonders how much time he’s got left before the heat closes in.
