The third episode of Big Mistakes Begins with Nicky and Morgan sitting in a car, and talking about how fucked up it was what they did. Yusuf then pulls up and tells the siblings that they are going to give the necklace directly to the person they stole it from. They arrive at the house and meet the man himself, Ivan. They give back the necklace, and the boss gives Nick and Morgan flip phones, telling them to answer them when they get a call.
After a therapy session with Morgan, her mother Linda, Max, and his mother Annette, we learn Linda’s running for mayor, and that her competition is Tom Donaldson, the Jimmy John’s guy. After another conversation between Nick and Tareq at a suit store, Nick gets a call while in the dressing room. Yusuf drives Nick and Morgan to a place to meet a man and deliver money, possibly to buy drugs.
The two then head inside to begin the drug deal, and are taken to a lower floor, when the guy gets a call, and heads off to take it. After an argument, they ask him about the drugs. This angers the guy, who tells them that he doesn’t sell drugs anymore, and that he’s a legitimate landlord renting apartments. The landlord storms off, so the two go to try and convince him to let them buy the apartment, by pretending to be married, with a tragic story looking for a home to start a family. The landlord is convinced and allows them to rent the apartment.
Nick and Morgan meet Yusuf outside, and try to give the phone back, where they learn that this is likely not the only favor they will do for Ivan. We then meet Tom Donaldson at the registration office, and he turns out to be a bit of an asshole.
Again, the episode wasn’t too bad and didn’t decline from the previous episode in terms of quality. The ending still felt slightly fast, but it wasn’t as quick, or as abrupt feeling as the last two episodes, which felt like they ended in weird spots. Overall, the show still hasn’t been disappointing, has its moments, and leaves interest in what kind of nonsense and problems Nick and Morgan might find themselves going through for their future jobs.
Rating: 7/10
