#TASK ep5: Although I loved this series and its well-written plot, I find some choices confusing. For example, after realizing that Eryn is the mole, why did gang boss Perry go after her and not follow Robbie (who has the drugs)? He saw Robbie driving away from their secret meeting place!

So the FBI discovers that Cliff Broward committed the robberies while he was working as a trash collector, but they are unable to identify his criminal partner?? Haha, could it perhaps be his trash collector direct colleague, who called in sick exactly the day after the failed robbery? #TASK
