SPOILERS AHEAD
Lewis and Tiago quickly run down their list of enemies and come to the conclusion that it most likely was a Nazi agent who shut up Michener’s car with a gun. Despite the fact that he had roped Tiago into helping him get to the bottom of this operation the Nazis are running in Los Angeles, Lewis doesn’t take Tiago with him to investigate further. Instead, the older detective goes alone to a restricted club to challenge Goss himself.
At City Hall, Charlton looks at the construction plans he had for the new motorway. He remarks how it could have been so beautiful. He remarks how it wasn’t just going to be road, but it was a vision. Alex tried to reignite the fire in Charlton, but he already feels like there’s no point. Now, Beverly looks to be getting her way when it comes to the motorway. Nevertheless, Alex reminds her boss that he still has four days, but Charlton doesn’t think it is worth it because everyone hates him. From the Chicanos,to the City Council and right down to the voters. His tirade leads him to blurt out how he is a fat, hateful man, who nobody will ever love. Alex tries to cheer him up by saying that she loves him and she has no doubt that Kurt loves Charlton too. Alex continues by saying that the voters will love him again because Charlton will give them that beautiful future. She reminds him that the destiny of Los Angeles depends on Charlton playing that last card he has left. Thus, Charlton must go see his father.
Meanwhile, at The Craft residence, Maria is doing the dishes while eavesdropping on the conversation that Elsa and Peter are having. Ultimately , he admits that he didn’t stop to think about what all these changes would do to his boys. He continues by saying that what he did was selfish . That’s on top of bringing in Elsa and Frank shortly thereafter. Now he believes that they shouldn’t have rushed and instead waited for a more appropriate time. Elsa, for her part says Peter is a good and true man, and that starting today, they will be a happy family like all the others. The two of them ultimately decide on going out as a family to the movies.
Elsa points out that a Robin Hood film is playing in theaters and it can be a special treat for Tom. Peter is elated and he goes out to tell his son. Once it’s just her and Maria, Elsa purposefully drops her orange juice and makes Maria clean it up. Elsa calls herself a silly girl and, but Maria tells her that she doesn’t think Elsa is a silly girl. Elsa asks Maria what she thinks she is, and Maria answers bluntly that when she knows the answer to that, she will tell Elsa. She warns Maria that when she knows the answer to that, it will be too late. The two women stare at each other intensely with neither one looking away. Elsa states that she wishes the two of them could have been friends. But not backing down, Maria tells the other women that she might as well have been howling at the moon.
Lewis tries to get into the private club where Richard Goss is playing golf , but the maître d'hôtel doesn't let him in. Even after Lewis flashes his LAPD badge to try to get in that way. The maître d'hôtel still does let him in by saying that this club is restricted to members only. He still walks in, and sees Richard Goss having dinner with two other men. He asks if the other man minds if he joins, but doesn’t wait for an answer and instead sits down. Lewis asks Goss how Adolf is and if they have invaded any countries lately. Lewis then turns to the other two men and asks them if they knew Mr. Goss works for Adolf Hitler. Goss asks the other two men to excuse him and Lewis reports by saying that they can go grab a copy of Mein Kampf at the gift shop. The two men leave and Lewis sips on some wine. Goss seems thoroughly unimpressed with Michener‘s bravado, and points out that Lewis has grossly overplayed his hand. Lewis tells Goss that he knows who the other man is, and what he is doing, and that he knows Goss tried to kill him. He proceeds to taunt Goss into killing right there in the club, by taking out his gun and putting on the table. Unsurprisingly, Goss doesn’t take the bait and instead says that it is always such theatrics and drama with Lewis’ people. Lewis then tells Goss to spare him the speech, and proceeds to tell him how he knows all about the Via Hermosa development, Councilman Townsend over at City Hall, Sister Molly’s Temple, and that place in Topanga. He’s about to say more, but Goss interrupts him by saying that he knows Lewis is hiding Brian Koenig. He vows to find the young college student and proceeds to mock him (and all Americans for that matter) for leaning too heavily into dramatics.

Jun 21, 2020 · Penny Dreadful: City of Angels is either the worst show to watch right now or the most prescient one, Joe. What makes me sad is that the things happening in this fictionalized world of late 1930s Los Angeles are literally happening in the streets today.
Jun 22, 2020 · Penny Dreadful: City of Angels S01E09 Review: Sing, Sing, Sing – Danger at the door… By Salome G. | June 22, 2020. TV Blogs. I could say the same kind of things I’ve been saying for the past few weeks. You know, how this season is almost at an end and has squandered some really good actors in bit parts and set pieces that go nowhere.
