Ep 10. Remix

In the season 1 finale of Good Girls, titled “Remix”, the three main characters - Beth, Ruby, and Annie - find themselves in deeper trouble than they could have imagined. They’re still reeling from the fallout of their previous capers, which include robbing a grocery store and involving themselves with a nefarious group of criminals.

The episode starts off with an intriguing premise - Beth’s husband, Dean, has been arrested for money laundering. The trio is desperate to secure his release, and they turn their attention to Rio, the ruthless gang leader who’s been controlling them all season. They believe that he’s behind Dean’s arrest, and decide that they can use the situation to their advantage. If they help Rio with a new job he’s planning, then surely he’ll be willing to help get Dean out of jail.

But things don’t go as planned. When the girls arrive to meet with Rio, they find out that he’s already got the job covered. This leads to a tense confrontation, with Rio making it clear that he’s tired of their amateur mistakes and is willing to cut them loose. He gives them an ultimatum - help him pull off a risky scheme, or face the consequences.

As the girls begin to plot their next move, they come up with a bold plan to take control of the situation. They decide to remix Rio’s song - a catchy tune that’s become something of an earworm throughout the season - and use it to communicate with him in code. The idea is that if Rio hears the new version of his own song, he’ll know that they’re serious about working with him, and that they’re clever enough to pull off something big.

From here on out, “Remix” becomes a thrilling heist movie, with the girls pulling off an elaborate scheme that puts them in serious danger. They need to steal a valuable piece of art from a museum, with a tight deadline and a host of obstacles in their way. Along the way, they have to deal with double-crossing allies, unexpected setbacks, and the realization that they might not be as good at this as they thought.

One of the standout moments of the episode is the way that it uses music to build suspense. The remix of Rio’s song isn’t just a gimmick - it’s a clever plot device that adds a layer of tension to the proceedings. All throughout the museum heist, we hear the new version of the song playing over the speakers, marking the girls’ progress and hinting at the danger that’s about to unfold. It’s a small detail, but it illustrates how Good Girls pays attention to the little things that make a show great.

As the episode hurtles towards its conclusion, we’re left wondering whether the girls will pull off the heist, or whether they’ll be caught and sent to prison. The tension is ramped up to maximum levels, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. When the final moments arrive, it’s a nail-biting climax that will leave viewers shocked and eager for more.

“Remix” is a fitting end to a thrilling first season of Good Girls. It showcases the show’s strengths - its excellent cast, its clever writing, and its ability to balance humor and drama - while also setting up plenty of intriguing possibilities for the seasons to come. This is a show that knows how to keep audiences hooked, and it’s a must-watch for fans of crime dramas and dark comedies alike.
