S03.E11: Jackpot - Animal Kingdom

I rewatched the shootout in slomo, and I sure thought that Pope took one in the head or the upper body.  I don't know how the two henchmen managed to get him and Carlos into the SUV, assuming he was fighting. 

Note to producers:  If that desert scene with Lucy moaning over Carlos's body was supposed to be the border, I call fail.  From personal experience, even on the US side, if you park your car next to the fence you will attract attention.  A dead body increases that chance.  Maybe it was just some random fence in the desert.

Oh, you Codys.  You need some seminars on how to do a hostage exchange.  When Craig said you were going to need some firepower, I was expecting automatic weapons, not pistols.  And have one guy on the railing, out of the line of fire, covering everyone else.  Still, J being the boy scout and doing his good deed was pretty funny.  Almost as "funny" as Smurf looking at him in the shower and saying "You're all grown up, now."

I wonder if Lucy had a tape recorder going.  Package in the mail...

When it comes down to it, will Mia side with J or with Smurf?

Why does Ellen Barkin walk the way she does, stiff backed and almost robot-like?  Is it just the way she is characterizing Smurf?  It just seems so unnatural to me.  I've seen her in other roles a long time ago, but I can't remember how she acted in those.
