foreign [Music]
what is going on to all my berry fans out there and welcome back to my Channel movie files we are
back with our weekly Berry discussions I'm so happy to be back with you all but I'm gonna be
honest as a fan of this series it's a Bittersweet moment for me right now because on one hand I am
so excited that we get this fourth season less than a year before season three premiered but
then on the other hand it is the fourth and final season now as a fan of TV I always can appreciate
when show winners know when they want to end the show on a high note they're not gonna drag
things along which can really hurt the legacy of the show so I do appreciate that but then also I
can't acknowledge we're weeks away before this show is officially over so in the meantime we
got an episode one to talk about in tonight's episode be entitled Yates as we see all of our
main characters dealing with ramifications after Barry was caught and arrested we got so much to
break down but before we get into it let's start the conversation in the comments below now we're
just talking about episode 1 because I haven't seen episode 2 as I'm pre-recording this but
let me know your Pros your cons your thoughts your theories after watching this episode one
in the comments below and of course if you all appreciated my review today consider hitting that
like button also sharing this video and of course consider subscribing to the channel so with all
that being said this episode was fantastic we got to break it down full spoilers ahead
as we open the episode with the news reporting on Barry being caught and arrested we see the guards
are watching this and they are excited to have a celebrity on their hands as we cut to seeing Barry
immediately getting perks for being a celebrity as the guards allow him to call Gene and during
this conversation we see the first question that Barry has Regine is was he tricked by Gene and Jim
Moss now Barry tells him that he was only there to protect Gene because he was worried about him and
he tells him as he did in the season three finale that he loves Gene now Gene in response tells him
the same thing he said to Barry which was he's got him caught now I am very excited to see Barry
exploring this lack of father in his life because that has been a very big theme in this series him
wanting this Father Figure to be someone he can look up to whether it is Fuchs whether in
this case is Gene so I'm very intrigued to see if this final season will be exploring Barry's past
and actually meeting his actual father which was actually potentially hinted at a little bit later
in this episode let's switch gears and actually talk about Gene here throughout this episode as
we see him immediately meeting with the attorney who was at the press conference about Barry being
called he tells Gene that he will probably be a key witness in this trial which it probably will
go to trial and also in this episode we see that Gene's career has continued to taken off from last
season due to Barry's help as Jim watches him on stage and we see them go have a conversation in
Jean's dressing room and Jim brings up that a reporter wants to interview him about the case
and also about his daughter but Jim knows that the media just wants this as headlines that it will
probably be a bad idea to talk to them because it would probably affect the case more on that plot
a little bit later but I do want to mention that I feel as though Jim knows that Gene is hiding
something and that maybe Jim's going to learn that Barry was actually the one responsible for getting
Gene's foot back into Hollywood's door and maybe Jim's going to find out some other secrets that
Gene's been hiding so I'm very curious to see how this relationship is going to pan out between Gene
and Jim in this season speaking of relationships let's talk about what Sally has going on in her
relationship with her family in this episode as we know from last season she was heading back home
after being canceled and losing her 15 Minutes of Fame after getting caught on camera snapping on
Natalie in the elevator as we see her on the plane she's taking a nap and she's having this dream or
something like calling a nightmare as she hears a little kid in a seat in front of her laughing and
it's revealed to not be a little kid but instead it's the biker guy that she killed in self-defense
from last season now it appears that after killing him that this haunts her which is understandable
but the fact that she heard a little kid laughing before seeing him to me was very interesting it
was almost like she might feel that she killed an innocent person which we know as an audience that
that guy was not innocent he was there to kill her and Barry but at the same time it has me
thinking maybe Sally subconsciously feels like she killed the innocent or the little girl inside of
her after killing someone for the first time but I also want to point out that it is important to
remember the fact that she got away with killing someone again I know it was self-defense but she
still got away with it so I'm very interested to see if that comes to light in this fourth and
final season as we see Sally's phone is blowing up about the fact that Barry was arrested we see
Sally who loves the lie as her agent calls her and she talks about lying about being with Barry
but at first she's under the impression that maybe the news got out that she killed someone and that
Barry might not be taking the blame for that but instead she learns that Barry was arrested after
killing Janice the night that she went missing and she is in complete shock which Speaking of shock
her mom in this episode was very shocking and we'll talk about that here as her mom is picking
her up from the airport and immediately we see that she is very impatient with Sally and she's
really not even really excited to see her daughter she even asks her why are you here visiting as we
pivot over to seeing Sally having a panic attack in a car and her mother could care less about
what she's got going on as she just continues to order her food to go now to me it came off that
her mother has done this type of thing with Sally before where she has these panic attacks but more
particularly the fact that it seems as though that she is implying this episode that Sally
tends to find herself in these circumstances and her mom doesn't really feel as though that Sally
is a victim in these situations that more or less Sally might levitating towards these toxic
relationships on purpose so I'm very interested to see how much more of this subplot that we get
with Sally and her relationship with her parents which brings us into her going back home and she
finds out that her room's been converted into her father's man cave and we have Barry calling Sally
he wants to talk to her but we see Sally declines a call and she tells him that she never wants to
talk to him again and he should never call her again and she calls him a liar now that is a very
interesting choice of words from Sally because we know she has lied a lot throughout the series
and it'll be interesting to see if Barry keeps his promise in protecting her about what she did
and killing that biker man but let's talk about Sally and her dad who I get the impression that
her dad seems to be more interested in her career but also more importantly more interested in her
as a person more than her mother as he tries to get her out of her head about the news that went
on with Barry As He suggests that they watch her show as a family together after dinner which we
see the scene play out and her dad seems to be a very nice person he seems to be the complete
opposite than what her mother is and I love how this first episode has kind of a stab publish the
two sides that we've seen in the Sally character on one hand we can see her father seems to be a
loving individual and we've seen those traits from Sally and then on the other hand we see her mother
being kind of judgmental very self-centered and we've seen those traits from Sally as well so I
love The Duality that we have here with her parents in his first episode as we see them
watching her television show and her mother points out the lack of truce that she's seen on screen
as her mom isn't impressed especially after she hears Sally's ex-husband get brought up which we
know he is Sam and this is where we get a very uncomfortable situation at hand with them kind
of fighting as Sally's mom doesn't believe that Sally is a victim regarding her last relationship
with Sam and even goes a step further and kind of implies that maybe Barry being arrested she might
have something to do with that situation as she tells Sally that she sure knows how to pick them
which to me was just so mind-boggling it really comes off as though Sally mom does not like her at
all as Sally just wants her her mother to help and she just doesn't want to help at this point we see
Sally exploding at her mother which leads to her walking away and this is where her father as you
could imagine this is probably something they did when Sally was growing up as a kid they get into
a lot of fights and the father's kind of left with picking up the pieces or trying to get the mother
and daughter on the same page as he offers her a job so they can spend more time together so let's
talk about this scene here I think it's important to note that this show has given us more of her
anger being pent up inside of her this dates back to season two when she was lashing out at Barry we
even saw that of course in the season three when she was defeating herself and she ended up killing
that biker and her yelling at her mom this episode which I don't blame her her mom was being kind of
an [ __ ] at her in this episode I can't lie but again I'm just so curious to see it's the Sally
going down this path of Darkness will she kill again especially knowing the fact that she's back
at home now I wouldn't be surprised if she runs into Sam again who's to say that she might not end
up killing him so very very interested to see what they do with Sally in this fourth season but now
it's time to talk about the star of the show who also directed this episode and we'll be directing
all the episodes in this season and that's checking in on Barry and Fuchs in prison now
we see Barry is noticing that the inmates are kind of eyeing him as he walks past Fuchs who he didn't
know that they were going to be in the same prison which Speaking of we see Fuchs is talking to the
FBI about getting protection from Barry and this is where the FBI can care less about his safety
but then we know Fuchs he's always manipulating or trying to get his way into situations he
tells them that the Janus murder was just a small part of Barry's dark pass and he cuts a deal with
them which he's gonna wear a wire and they're gonna agree to protect him but also promise to
give him a new life outside of prison now after seeing Barry having a call to people that he love
and them completely destroying the connections between them we see Barry in this episode he's
just alone he's just wanted to seek love as he's in the courtyard and he has this kind of midday
hallucination as he believes he sees Sally reading the script on the stairs similar to the same scene
in season one when he first Met Sally as they're recreating briefly the scene in when she meets
the other people from the acting class but that is in shortly after Fuchs walks out of the door now
we see fuse who's done this in the past trying to catch Barry off guard he does such a terrible job
of trying to get Barry to confess his crimes as we know he's wearing a wire at this point but Barry's
first words were that I put you here and he is not fueled by anger in his past with his relationship
with Fuchs which is very surprising as Barry continues to go a step further he confesses to
him that he was right in telling him that he shouldn't trust Gene and that he should have
never taken those classes to change himself and be a better person he apologized to him and you
see this is a merely affects Fuchs in him running out Barry might not be the case in this season
which we'll be talking about here in a second but while that's going on let's check in with
our favorite couple and that is Hank and crystal ball see Hank and crystal ball are living a very
happy and safe life in Santa Fe but it is clear that Hank is still on high alert for their safety
as they're looking to make this a permanent living situation but they find out from the owner of this
Airbnb that they're standing out that the market is struggling and there isn't any new homes being
built because there's a shortage of sand which needs to be imported from Asia and Africa which
leads to Crystal Ball coming up with the plan to get this International sand and doing this under
the radar and making this some type of business and this would be their chance to be the top
dogs that both of them have dreamed of so we see clearly in this scene that Hank sees that crystal
ball maybe misses their time as being crime Lords and being in a criminal underground he wants to
kind of to help him in this moment I'm gonna focus on what's going on with Hank in this episode who
has a similar nightmare of what Sally did when she was facing death in this episode we see Hank
having a nightmare reliving the moment from last season when he was captured and this time around
he actually has his best pal Berry who's chained up next to him actually asks Barry what should
they do and that's important to remember because we always know throughout this series whenever
Hank needed someone to help him out out of crazy situations who's the person that he always calls
and that is Barry which leads us to seeing Hank winking up and he immediately calls Barry but he
sees that the police picks up the phone and this is where Hank finds out that Barry's been arrested
online now we see Hank decides to go ahead and do the plan with crystal ball with getting the sand
over to where they are but we all know secretly he's really doing this to get back to LA so he
can probably help out Barry in the situation which will wrap all this up in the final scenes here we
see Barry finally snapping slapping himself in the face yelling in the mirror calling himself a POS
as we have a guard coming in trying to calm down Barry and give him some words of encouragement
now he tells Barry that just because he did a bad thing it doesn't make him a bad person and
he goes even further and says that he's done great things he was in the Marines he's actually been on
television and actually on a good show now giving Barry hope and all these kind words you would
think that this is the stuff that Barry has been seeking throughout this episode he's been looking
for kindness he's been looking for acceptance he's been looking for love especially from people like
Gene and Sally which they didn't give him that and Barry doesn't take this kindness at all but
instead Barry wants to feel the actual pain and this is kind of a way of him punishing himself as
he tells that same guard that he is a cop killer and goes a step further and says that he'll not
only kill this guard but he'll kill everyone that loves him now we see the guard change his tone in
this scene as he closes the door pulls out his weapon and we see blood coming from Barry's head
now we cut to him as a young child and we hear kind of the similar sounds and noises from when
he was on that beach with all his victims from last season as we see little Barry is running
across this kind of empty field and you'll notice in the background there are two random guys there
and there's also kids running as well and then you can hear kind of faintly this man is calling
for Barry in the distance and we see Barry turn around and waves at him now let's Analyze This
scene for a second here now was this some type of camp where Barry's father potentially took
him to toughen him up to torture him to get him to become the man that he is today or was that Fuchs
that was calling him in the background let me know your thoughts on that but I do think again I would
really love to explore the relationship between Barry and his father is he dead is he alive did
he even meet his father or again was that Fuchs in the scene I'm very curious to learn more about his
past but but going back to Barry he wakes up two Fuchs who manages to have the guard stop beating
him and we see Fuchs throws his wire away and he tells Barry that he took advantage of him and
that he's sorry but more importantly that he loves him that's right he tells Barry I love you those
were the words that Barry was looking for this entire episode as it appears so far that their
relationship is maybe back on sync and the key word being maybe as we end with these final scenes
of seeing Gene who calls the same reporter with his Batman voice to meet up and he wants to talk
about how he caught Barry now you'll notice that this wasn't the first time that Gene has called
this reporter because his wife said it's the same guy with the Batman voice which makes me question
wait what about the conversation he had with Jim about not talking to the reporters because he know
that will affect the case so what is Gene's play in the situation is it to get more notoriety more
Fame I mean being the hero in the situation or will we see Gene threaten the reporter to leave
Jim alone and not get involved in the situation I'm not sure what is going on with Gene but I'm
very curious to see what finds out but overall y'all this episode was just a reminder of how
phenomenal the show is Bill Hader his Direction was absolutely incredible this episode the writing
was so poignant and yes Barry has destroyed everything he's touched since joining the acting
class but we see in this episode in particular how our main characters they were already broken
before they met Barry it would be so interesting to see all these characters throughout this final
season especially when you look at Hank and Crystal Ball's relationship as they plan to get
back into the business and dealing with criminals for the sand be really interesting to see that
complicated relationship especially will they be going down separate paths will crystal ball
continue to want to live this lifestyle and we know NoHo Hank maybe wants to not get back into
this lifestyle but we also know that Hank wants to help Barry and we know crystal ball isn't the
biggest fan of Barry while he's trying to rebuild his Empire but speaking of relationship let's talk
about Gene he continues to go on this path of redemption that we saw him doing last season or
will that side of him return with this reporter and will him and Jim have a good relationship
this season or will things go south after Jim finds out about his deep secrets that he's been
hiding speaking of hiding Sally's anger seems to be taking over and it'll be very interesting to
see if she kills again or if she'll tell the truth about what happened about killing that biker from
last season and speaking of killing let's talk about Barry and fugues on the same page while
being in prison the question is how long will this good relationship or at least at the moment
good relationship lasts can we see them being broken out of jail I theorize that about that
last season if we see Barry get caught he's gonna probably be broken out which I still think that
could be the case and I wouldn't be surprised if NoHo Hank is the one that breaks them out
will we see Barry killigan is a big question right so I think this season are characters
having their looking in the mirror facing their faith and revealing their truths and their secrets
I cannot wait to find out yes it hurts my heart to say this is the final season but I'm pretty
sure and confident that we're going to end on a high I love this show I love this first episode
I'm about to start episode 2 as we speak and I want to know before we wrap this up what did you
