Tonight’s episode largely served to set the stage for what’s coming up next. It allowed us to see what’s going to go into this heist, which involves plucking a safe out of a very populated skate park. This isn’t going to be easy, but hilariously we did see a safe flying through a window in the trailer for the season. When are we going to see that? It better be in this episode.

Below, you can check out the full Animal Kingdom season 5 episode 6 synopsis, which gives you a good sense of what’s ahead for Pope, as well:
Tensions rise as Deran, J, and Craig do a job that risks everything the family has; Pope goes to the desert trying to outrun his grief.
We’ve noted already that Pope’s storyline is going to be interesting moving forward — we know that Shawn Hatosy is not leaving the show, but he could be away from the rest of the cast for a little bit. It’s all based on how far he’s going to go to try and escape the pain. This should be a very interesting episode for him.
One other thing we should say here is pretty simple: We’re not sure we need a Smurf backstory this time around. They’re going to be important for understanding her bond with Pamela, but they don’t have to necessarily be a weekly thing.
