I couldn't even understand why Jean Hackney (or whoever she was working for) wanted Greg Sumner dead, or why she wanted Ben to be the one to assassinate him. Laura and Val were friends (although, not as friendly as Val and Karen, or Karen and Laura), so I guess the thinking was, if one friend's husband had to kill the other, then that would put the friendship in jeopardy. But, to me, it would've been more impactful (if no less stupid) if Ben had had orders to kill Gary, or even Mack; or if Jean had blackmailed someone who had an actual connection to Greg to kill him. (A dicey proposition, I guess, since the only one who was close to him at that point WAS Laura). Otherwise, the whole story plays so random and off-the-top-of-the-head:
"Doug [Sheehan] says he'll stay another year if we give him a story, so let's say he used to be a spy and now someone wants him to kill someone."
"Who wants Ben to kill somebody?"
"Uh, a lingerie saleslady?"
"And who's Ben supposed to kill?"
"I dunno! Greg, maybe? Anyways. Let's talk about Nicollette. I don't think we're doing enough for her."
"She's literally in every scene!"
"Yeah, I don't think that's enough. Maybe we could have her play her mom in flashbacks, too?"
