This is the woman who could smoothly load a pistol without blinking, a woman better at interrogation than both Sam and Fiona, a woman who served as a helpmeet and part of Michael’s team in an undercover capacity numerous times, and a woman who killed a man last season suddenly, out of the blue, she’s turning to Fiona for help, crying and whimpering and wringing her hands that she wished Michael were here. It truly feels as if everyone’s personalities have been reset to season 2 default, and the most offensive of these resets is Madeline’s sudden u-turn back toward flailing, helpless mama who can’t function without Michael’s presence. While we get one minor reveal, it’s also padded out with extraneous foreshadowing, several pointless explosions, some severe mangling of character development and some dull moralization. “Down Range” is something of a mess in several ways, chiefmost in that it barely serves a purpose in the overall storyline of the season. When he tries to claim one of the debts through violence, Madeline turns to Fiona, who teaches Madeline a few tricks of the trade. Meanwhile, Madeline is threatened by one of Nate’s old bookies. One of them experiences a moral quandary, which leads to conflict when Mike is put on the spot. He and Burke are forced to participate in a dangerous arms trade there, with an assist from Sam and Jesse. With Michael a wanted man for last week’s daring rescue of Fiona, he ends up shedding his beard but returning to the Dominican Republic.
