As expected, things pick up a bit on "Coydog" regarding Coydog's treasure and potentially Reggie's murder.
Within the first minutes of the episode, we learn that Coydog's treasure is 14 doubloons worth thousands of dollars each. We also learn that Ptolemy sold most of them to take care of Sensia when she was sick. As for Reggie's murder, things are currently pointing to his girlfriend's violent ex, who just got out of prison. It all feels a little too easy. Another shoe is going to drop, maybe even multiple shoes. It might be a big plot twist or it could be an emotional bombshell, but something is coming. If nothing else, there are still too many supporting characters that seem just a little too perfect or convenient not to be more than they seem. If I were to hazard a guess, my money would be on Billy and Doctor Rubin as the ones hiding something. I don't trust Billy, but I trust Doctor Rubin even less. You don't hire Walton Goggins and then give him nothing to do, right? There seems to be more to Shirley Wring too but for now, I'm leaning towards her secret not being nefarious, if she is in fact hiding something. The one character I do think is exactly what he seems is Roger. The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey continues to exemplify the very best of character-driven storytelling. Every episode I find myself caring more about these characters and even more invested in what happens to them. With only two episodes left I fear this little bubble that Ptolemy and Robyn have created for themselves is going to burst soon. Things are going to come to a head. As much as I dread the fallout, am rooting for these two kindred souls to find what they are looking for by the end.
