Good Behavior
Letty (Michelle Dockery) will be fighting to keep her son away from his father in “Good Behavior” Season 1, episode 8. TNT

The characters on “Good Behavior” may be full of secrets, but it looks like Letty found way more out about Javier than she intended to. In the last episode, at a family dinner, Javier’s father made him relive the day he killed his little brother Santino. He then outed his son as a contract killer to everyone at the table. Although Javier may have lost his family, in Season 1, episode 8, Letty will have to fight to protect hers.

It looks like Letty (Michelle Dockery) will have to be the responsible adult for once in her family and will be forced to reevaluate whether or not she is ready to be a full-time mom. “Letty Raines reverses roles with her mother when she has to bail Estelle (Lusia Strus) out of jail, raising the question of who is better able to raise Jacob (Nyles Julian Steele),” the synopsis teases.

Letty, who was addicted to meth and now finds joy in stealing expensive items, was able to quit the drug with the help of Javier (Juan Diego Botto). He refuses to let her use around him. However, her sticky fingers are the least of her problems now that her mother may not be the best parent for Jacob.

It seems like the one person who may actually be fit to care for Jacob is not Letty’s first choice: his father. In the promo video for “Good Behavior” Season 1, episode 8, Letty seems adamant about keeping Jacob away from his father and refusing to let them form a bond.

“Meanwhile, Jacob’s birth father, Sean (Todd Williams), shows up uninvited to a major family event,” the synopsis says. In the trailer, Sean claims Jacob said Letty wasn’t a “normal mother” and hints that he will be seeking custody of their child.

Episode 8 is titled “It Still Fits Bitch” but as to whether “It” is motherhood, one of Letty’s expensive stolen items or something else is anyone’s guess.

“Good Behavior” Season 1, episode 8 airs Tuesday at 9 p.m. EST on TNT.
