Meadowlands Episode 3 Recap

With the third episode of Meadowlands aired and now in repeats, the Brogan clan finds themselves deeper and deeper into the darkness that envelops Meadowlands. Picking up with the murder of Jack Donnelly and the reveal of Gordon’s true intentions in Meadowlands, Mark and Danny are left to clean up a huge mess before the girls find out what’s happened.
Almost discovered by Evelyn, the pair manage to work through Mark’s panic attack and mass amounts of blood, dumping Jack’s body in the hole he’d dug to fix their pipes earlier that day. Danny must then convince Mark to keep his shit together long enough for the mystery to blow over, no small feat for an autistic boy who has just begun talking again. Mark does as good as he can, only being tripped up when the police chief questions him on the soccer field about the color of the bar’s walls, their aliby for the night, and Mark slips up.
With the storyline focused so intently on the two Brogan men and their coverup of murder, little time was left for the Brogan women or the other Meadowlands characters. Their stories will have to be told later this week. My big question after last night’s episode is simply this: When will the psycho police chief crack under the self-imposed pressure he’s facing and beat someone to death or kill himself? Any bets?
