Episode six of Max’s “duster” sees FBI agent Nina Hayes, portrayed by Rachel Hilson, fully immersed in her undercover role. She continues to infiltrate Saxton’s crew (Keith David) by posing as a Russian interpreter, a ruse that tests her skills and resolve.
The episode, titled “Встречают по одёжке (Meet by the Clothes),” escalates when a deal with a Russian gangster goes awry. Jim, played by Josh Holloway, finds himself in the crosshairs after angering a Greek mobster, Sal (Jack Topalian), in the previous episode. Sal seeks revenge for Jim’s interference with Saxton’s daughter, Genesis (sydney Elisabeth).
the situation explodes into a shootout after sal’s henchmen target Jim and the Russian. Nina’s quick thinking and surprising gun skills are revealed as she defends herself and Jim. Billy, ever observant, immediately takes note of Nina’s unexpected talent with firearms, raising his suspicions about her true identity.
With the briefcase Saxton sought now in thier possession, jim and Nina must evade capture without blowing their covers.The contents of the briefcase remain a mystery,but Nina believes it holds evidence that could incriminate Saxton.
The close call forces Nina to save Jim’s life, temporarily easing Billy’s doubts. Though, her deeper involvement in Saxton’s operation raises concerns, especially given that Jim’s father, Wade (Corbin Bernsen), and stepmother, Charlotte (Gail O’Grady), are coaching her.
the episode concludes with Nina tending to Jim’s bullet wound, a moment filled with unspoken feelings.Rachel Hilson notes that the interpretation of the scene is left to the audience, hinting at a possible romance.
Holloway acknowledged initial concerns about a romance feeling out of place, but he noted that the show’s 1970s setting allows for more fluid relationships. He added that the characters’ professional antagonism could evolve into somthing more.
LaToya Morgan said the adrenaline from the shootout strips away their defenses, leaving them vulnerable. “They survived and they’ve lived to tell the tale,” she said. “To me, there’s nothing sexier than helping someone when they’re hurt.”
“Billy is my main concern, as he’s already suspicious and I can feel him honing in on us,” Holloway said. “So we can’t do anything here in front of Billy,as he’s gonna sniff that out immediately.”
“Not only is their relationship deepening, but now my father is involved and my stepmother is involved,” he said. “there’s this evolution of knowledge, because we are also finding out my father had doubts about my brother’s death too. To have him on board really gives Jim permission to trust Nina a little more.”
What’s next
As Jim and Nina navigate the aftermath of the shootout, they must contend with Billy’s growing suspicions and the dangerous secrets hidden within the briefcase. The simmering romantic tension between them promises to further complicate their already precarious situation.
