The Waterfront – Season 1 Episode 7 'Nice Try' Recap & Review
Nice Try Episode 7 of The Waterfront starts with Cane waking up in bed with Jenna. He hurriedly gets dressed though when he receives the call about Harlan, who's not in a good way. The doctor gives him the all-clear, despite suffering from some nasty stings. Harlan is pissed. He wants to take out Grady completely and kill the guy. Harlan aggravates him when Grady calls, and realizes that they're being watched. Harlan scares off Grady's guy with a gun and demands he stay away from the family. Of course, that's not going to happen, given the tendrils Grady has in this business. Back at the office, Cane and Harlan have even more problems to contend with. They have 43 days to pay off their massive debt. Instead of working with Grady, Cane suggests they turn and work with Emmett Parker instead. This guy has a whole operation going on, way bigger than Grady's, and it's one of the biggest in the South. It turns out Harlan's father used to work with Emmett back in the day too. However, it was Emmett's men who ordered the hit on him, explaining how they're mixed up with the family. Cane though, believes they should work with him all the same, at least to get out of their financial hole. Things turn from bad to worse for Bree, who's blindsided at Diller's place when she finds out she needs to test for drugs. She refuses to do so, obviously because she has been using, but Diller is at least okay, so there is that. Cane and Harlan meet with Emmett and the vibe is completely different to Grady's operation. They want to make a deal, and this time it's Cane who speaks up. He wants to deal for 12 million and Jeb, Emmett's father, is here to oversee this. Jeb doesn't trust them, given the desperation and 'fast money' they want. He also makes sure they're not double-dipping and wants them to cut ties with Grady completely. Harlan suggests that Emmett take out Grady but he and Jeb laugh incredulously and wonder what's led to this. Eventually they agree and Jeb agrees to take care of Grady. Jeb is old school though and Harlan explains to his son after that when Jeb was crossed by Harlan's father, Beau, he paid the price. Harlan goes on to mention how that drug running the way they are is like a drug itself, something that's very hard to shake. That night, Belle speaks to Harlan and explains that she made a decision for the family. She believes she's earned the Buckley name and explains that she also slept with Wes too. She didn't do it to hurt Harlan, and did so mostly to help herself here, to feel something while everything around her is falling apart. Meanwhile, Rodney shows up at Bree's looking for Diller. Apparently he's run away after they had an argument and he thought the kid left for Bree's. Bree is shocked when she finds out Rodney wants to relocate (well, it's mostly Georgina's decision to be fair) explaining why there's friction here. Bree does find Diller quite quickly though and explains that he should probably head home. She knows there's not much they can do but does stick up for Rodney's parental responsibility. She doesn't expect Diller to forgive her but reassures him that he's the only reason she's trying to get better. At work, Cane starts spiralling when he finds Emmett's men tied up with a sign reading 'nice try' in his office. It seems Grady has figured out what's happening and got wise to the assassination attempt. He calls Belle over to help out, who's shocked when she finds what they're dealing with. At the fish house, things are made worse when a gas leak forces everybody out the building. However, Bree is unaware of this, given she was out back, and soon finds Belle inside trying to cover up the dead bodies. Unfortunately, this whole plan comes back to bite Harlan while he's about to head out for a fishing trip with Shawn. The pair are held at gunpoint on the road and kidnapped, taken over to Grady's farm. Grady confronts Harlan about his deal with Emmett here and threatens Shawn at gunpoint. Just before he fires, he reveals that he's Harlan's son. This is enough for Harlan to bend and agree to work with Grady, determined to protect his son. While this is going on, Cane heads over to Grady's farm to save his father with Tim and Reggie. He heads inside the barn and finds Grady's entire drug operation, and a skirmish soon breaks out between him and Grdy's goons. They eventually decide to blow the barn sky-high, which in turn also destroys Grady's entire drug operation. A big fight breaks out after, but Tim is shot dead and Grady chases after them with a machine gun. They literally run in a straight line across an empty field, causing Reggie to be shot in the leg and the others avoiding gunfire. Plot armour, everyone! While the guys get away, and Grady lives to fight another day, Belle and Bree work together to clear up the mess in the office. Bree though is struggling and has been ever since she was 7. She eventually concedes and admits that she killed Marcus by buying him drugs to protect the family. When Belle realizes the true story, she's shocked at jumping to conclusions initially. Bree though, believes she deserves to be punished. Unfortunately, that punishment comes in the form of Grady's men, who show up that night and kidnap her. The Episode Review So the misunderstanding between Belle and Bree is finally resolved and their conversation together is actually a nice inclusion, especially as they address the issue that's plagued their entire relationship all these years. Meanwhile, Grady has somehow managed to outsmart Harlan and Cane. Although this would ordinarily be seen as a good move, I can't help but feel it undermines the menacing nature of Emmett and Jeb who seemed to have been a step up from Grady's operation but I guess not. The escape from the farm is a bit contrived as well, especially as we see Cane and the others literally run in a straight line away from machine gunfire, without even using the haybales or evasive manoeuvres. I know Reggie got shot but it would have been nice to see a bit more urgency from this scene. All of this aside though, the ending with Bree's kidnapping leaves everything wide open for the rest of the season, which hopefully will end things on a high.

The Waterfront – Season 1 Episode 6 'Hunting Season' Recap & Review
Hunting Season Episode 6 of The Waterfront starts with horrific flashes to the past for Bree. She soon awakens, with Cane next to her. She's now sober but clearing heroin out of her system isn't exactly smooth sailing. However, Bree has serious guilt over how this has gone down with Marcus. Cane reminds her that Marcus is a former addict and the allure of doing heroin was just too much for him to turn away from. It's not her fault he's dead. Cane believes they need to cover their tracks, which involves destroying all the evidence that Marcus has gained. It's here where Bree points out a horrifying moment from the past about her grandfather's death that's shaped her whole life. The man didn't die peacefully in his sleep after all. He was tortured while Bree was hiding inside the closet, watching the whole thing play out in horror. This entire incident explains why she has substance abuse issues and what led her down this path. Belle made her promise not to say anything and she didn't. With the pair busy, Harlan finds Grady waiting in his office. He's brought over some payroll (and a little extra to sweeten the deal) and wants to celebrate their little win with the DEA. However, Grady also has an emergency shipment he wants to fly out asap. Harlan is having none of it and doesn't want to mess with their business. Grady is not letting this one go and reminds him who's in charge here. With Harlan refusing to play ball, and needing to prove his point, Grady shows to see Diller and they hang together. He facetimes with Harlan and shows they're off hunting together, which obviously is his way of keeping Harlan in check. While Harlan races off to get Diller back, he eventually concedes and agrees to go hunting with the pair. Elsewhere, Belle signs for some documents from the bank, which only confirms they're in even more trouble than she initially thought. It seems Wes is trying to strongarm them and Belle meets with him to discuss it further. However, the ship has sailed and they have limited time to pay up. Back hunting, things take a horrible turn when Grady, in his desire to try and hunt some birds, ends up shooting Diller. Whether an accident or a warning, news of Diller's shooting reaches the whole family. Cane rings Jenna that night, just to talk, despite initially saying they weren't going to. Their conversation stirs up old feelings, which is only compounded further by his earlier chat with Bree, and he heads over to see her. No more 'mr good guy'; the pair wind up having sex. At the same time, Belle shows up to see Harlan, showing off the documents from the bank that mean bad news for their business. Even worse, Belle immediately susses that Bree has been using and it just makes Cane feel worse that he's caught in the middle of this. He apologizes for how everything has gone down, and the pair share a sweet moment together. When Grady shows up at the hospital, everything kicks off again. Grady speaks to Belle about the shooting, claiming that he didn't intentionally shoot him but subconsciously? Well, he's not 100% sure. Belle smacks the guy in the face, and as his goons grab her, Shawn – of all people – shows up and saves her before security arrive. Shawn speaks to Belle privately after, wanting to know what she's mixed up in. Naturally, she doesn't tell him but that's not going to stop his questions. Meanwhile, Harlan looks over the documents in his office that night. Unfortunately, after the altercation with Grady at the hospital, he shows up with his men and strong-arms Harlan into submission. To prove his point, he grabs a couple of buckets full of Portuguese man o' war, and place them on his bare chest. Harlan's screams ring out across the warehouse. The Episode Review Grady shows his true colours here, as the nice guy facade wears off and he shows just how vicious he can be. The torture with the jellyfish is pretty sadistic, and it's clear that the hunting trip shooting 'accident' was Grady's way of sending a message to Harlan. Cane and Bree patching up their differences though is a nice touch and one of the highlights of the episode for sure, while Cane predictably succumbs to temptation and sleeps with Jenna. Whether this is going to blow up when Peyton returns though is anyone's guess, but it's clear that this situation is far from over. With a couple of episodes left, will Harlan and Cane manage to save the business before it's too late? Previous Episode Next Episode Expect A Full Season Write-Up When This Season Concludes!

Republicans call on Michigan State Police leadership to resign following no confidence vote
Michigan State Police | Susan J. Demas Several Republicans in the Michigan House and Senate on Wednesday called for the director and chief deputy director of the Department of State Police to resign. The call for State Police Director James Grady and Chief Deputy Director Aimee Brimacombe to step down followed a weekend announcement from the Michigan State Police Troopers Association and the Michigan State Police Command Officers Association that said the two groups took a nearly unanimous no-confidence vote against the agency's leadership. Calls for their resignations came from Michigan Senate Minority Leader Aric Nesbitt (R-Porter Township), who is a Republican candidate for governor, state Sen. Jim Runestad (R-White Lake), who is the chair of the Michigan Republican Party, and state Rep. Mike Mueller (R-Linden). Department spokesperson Shanon Banner in a statement defended Grady and his leadership team, whom she said 'provide unwavering support to department members and are proud of the public safety services delivered every day to the public and our law enforcement partners across the state.' The no confidence vote follows a year's worth of discontent between the troopers' association and their leadership. Troopers filed an ethics complaint against Grady and Brimacombe in January. A handful of troopers also filed lawsuits against Brimacombe questioning her leadership, as well. Grady was appointed as director of the department following the departure of former director Joseph Gasper. Nesbitt said the vote of no confidence was a damning indictment on the agency's current administration. 'It is undeniable that this is the absolute worst leadership our state police has ever seen and completely unacceptable for the troopers and public they serve,' Nesbitt said in a statement released Monday. 'There needs to be a change at the top and that change needs to happen immediately. Col. Grady must step down or the governor must relieve him of his duties.' Runestad questioned how Grady and Brimacombe could continue in their roles after more than 1,000 troopers voted against their leadership. 'It has become alarmingly clear that Col. Grady and Lt. Col. Brimacombe's failed leadership has disparaged the reputation of the Michigan State Police,' Runestad said in a statement. 'I demand they step down immediately and urge the governor to relieve them of their duties if they do not resign voluntarily.' Mueller, a former law enforcement officer who has been investigating issues with State Police's leadership and other controversies at the individual post level, said troopers spoke loudly this weekend. 'They have no confidence in the current leadership. It is corrupt, dishonest, and doesn't keep the best interest of its own troopers in mind,' Mueller said in a scathing statement. 'If they have any shame, Grady and Brimacombe should resign right now.' In response, Banner said it has been a priority for Grady to conduct in-person visits to department worksites to listen to member feedback. 'During these visits, he's engaged in meaningful conversations, including seeking input from the membership about morale and opportunities for areas of improvement,' Banner said. 'Under Colonel Grady's leadership, the department has continued to invest in better training and professional development opportunities, updated equipment and improved technology. Further, dozens of new troopers joined the ranks last month and this year's proposed budget includes pay raises for troopers and sergeants.' Banner added that Grady remains committed to the department and 'is focused on moving the department forward while maintaining the department's proud tradition of service through excellence, integrity and courtesy.'

Dallas Baptist hits 3 HRs, beats Rhode Island 6-2 at Baton Rouge Regional
BATON ROUGE, La. -- Chayton Krauss, Keaton Grady and Luke Heefner each hit a home run on Friday night to help Dallas Baptist beat Rhode Island 6-2 at the Baton Rouge Regional. Micahel Dattalo led off the first inning with a single and Nathan Humpreys followed with an RBI double before Krauss hit a two-out two-run shot off Trystan Levesque (8-2) and Grady hit the next pitch over the wall in left to give the No. 2 seed Patriots (41-16) a 4-0 lead. Dallas Baptist, making its 11th consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance (the event was canceled in 2020 due to COVID), plays top-seed LSU and Rhode Island takes on No. 4 seed Arkansas-Little Rock in loser-out game on Saturday. Ryan Borgerg (9-4) pitched five innings and gave up two runs on five hits with six strikeouts. Luke Pettitte — the son of Andy Pettitte, who won five World Series titles with the New York Yankees — threw 1 1/3 scoreless innings and earned his second save of the season. Anthony DePino drew a two-out walk and scored on a single by Reece Moroney in the third and hit a solo shot in the fifth for No. 3 seed Rhode Island (38-20). Poole and Kraus two consecutive two-out walks before Grady hit an RBI single up the middle to cap the scoring in the eighth. The Rams are making their third NCAA Tournament appearance in program history and their first since 2016.
