3 outstanding scenes in a fantastic episode

Warning: Spoilers
Another fine episode, and the storylines are starting to pan out, but there were 3 remarkable scenes for me, of outstanding acting, and all 3 had no dialogue.

Michael (Tristan Wilds) reaction as the shooting of the family unfolds is short but poignant, his face says it all and it's a credit that an actor so young can pull off this high standard and without a word being spoken.

This is followed up by Kima (Sonja Sohn) finding the small boy in the closet. As she takes him out to wait for a car I felt like I was watching a documentary as the emotion she portrayed was so real.

And finally the wonderful Andre Royo in a scene with him washing the pots in the shelter kitchen. The inference that he is trying to scrub away all the pain, guilt and anger of Sherrod's death. Andre plays the part of Bubbles with everything he's got and this silent scene tells us more than any speech or 'share' at the NA meeting could.

Such an amazing show and this last series could be the best yet.
