Hawkeye episode 3 shows flashbacks to Maya's past, including Ronin killing her father. In the scene, Maya returns at the end of the day to Fat Man Auto Repair, one of the fronts for the Tracksuit Mafia. There, she sees a massacre happening inside. Someone dressed as Ronin is attacking the Tracksuit Mafia members with a sword. Then, just before Ronin escapes into the night, the masked figure impales her father.
Just saw this episode on ION TV today. Loved it.
In your recap you say Damien knocked on Maya's door - I think you meant Janine's door.
I was bothered by the scene where Damien bursts into Janine's apartment. Would the detectives really have been waiting in a back room, and let her open the door to a killer? He could have stabbed her before they even got into the room. Seems like this would not happen in real life, as exciting as the burst of action was.
I thought the girl playing Maya was superb. Just watching the expressions flit across her face.
HOWEVER, another quibble with "would this happen in real life?"
So many times they solve a case by getting a confession in the interrogation room. Like, Maya was crazy, but savvy. Why would she all of a sudden lose her sense of self-preservation and admit to a bunch of murders?
She is a figure from the dreams of protagonist Edward Hall, where she is a carnival dancer who attempted to lure Edward into high-stress situations that would inevitably kill him. In the dreams, she appears to be a human woman with painted eyebrows and black eyeliner, first appearing wearing a leopard-skin dress to complete her 'cat girl' look, but later appears wearing a sparkly dress. Eerily, her visage is identical to a woman from the real world, namely the receptionist of the real-world therapist Eliot Rathmann, despite the fact that prior to the episode, Hall had never met Rathmann or his receptionist.
After that so-called sweet moment at the karate academy, the episode jumps 17 years to the present day. Maya is now working as the boss of the Tracksuit Mafia to track down Ronin, the masked fighter who killed her father in a massacre at Fat Man Auto Repair. That, right there, is the first clue to her uncle's identity, so keep that name in mind.
This leaves one question, though: if Ini hid behind the folding screen, dressed up as Maya, drugged Maya, and killed Dr. Grey, how did she get away with it? It would have been impossible for Ini to do this alone. When asked if you agree, say Correct, it's not possible. Ini had an accomplice. When asked who, Present Morgan Fey's Profile. However, if you chose No, it is possible, prepare to get whipped but you'll automatically try again in naming an accomplice.
By this point of the series, most of the antagonists who aren't A end up getting killed off one by one. In fact, Wilden had a fake death a few episodes before his demise when Ashley Marin accidentally runs him over in fear that he will shoot her or hurt Hanna.
Garrett starts spilling his secrets in season three, making him a target for a lot of people in the town. When he is released, Garrett is killed by Wilden and a blackmailed Melissa in episode 13 while attending a spooky masquerade party on a train.
There is a wildly edited, fast-paced sequence in which Huck tries to locate Quinn using the tiny tracking device he hid in one of the teeth he did not remove while torturing her last week. Intercut this with Olivia Pope, smartly dressed -- something form-fitting and grey that suggests she means business. She calls her gladiators into their shabby chic conference room for the snappy debriefing that comes early in every episode. This time it's personal -- as it has been for some time, actually. Having surmised last week during one of the many irritating replays of Michael Jackson's "Ben" that her mother might have actually been a terrorist, Pope charges her employees with divining the specific nature of Maya's crime.
