You had best – or it’ll follow you, haunt you, relentlessly stalk you until the end of your days.
Well … Jamaica is in the Americas, and is populated largely by persons of African descent, right? So it counts!
Just occurred to me: during the conversation with Molotov, after Brock had been subdued, the supposed prostitute looked genuinely shocked and afraid. It doesn’t seem like she would have been asked whether she wanted to “live” if had already been under Molotov’s employ.
(I’ve given this episode altogether too much thought.)
I think it’s more that one of the Black Hearts got a little too into her part - she’s busy banging Brock instead of being ready to strike. Hell, Brock wouldn’t have been in the room with Monstroso (and therefore, needed to be shot, and then be in a position to chase Molotov and ultimately killed(?) her) if the woman hadn’t gone with Brock for an Action Johnny.
Besides, I suspect everyone who works for Molotov is terrified of her - they’re basically henchmen. What’s their life expectancy? Whatever it is, it’s even lower when the boss is pissed at her. And, there’s no way Molotov lets a random witness go back to the party where there’s a SPHINX agent (Shore Leave) and all of the formidable friends of the guy she just shot.
Something I saw on…The Onion AV Club(?) discussion on this episode. It was about Hunter and his switch from male to female and back to male. A bunch of people were going on about how tragic it was that Hunter, clearly a man who deep inside was a woman, had to go back to being a man…for some reason. That’s just someone reading their own (presumably tranny) viewpoint into things, right? It seems to me that the sequence was…
A) Hunter is a Colonel in the OSI.
B) He goes rogue, but when the OSI sends Brock to kill him, Brock can’t do it because Hunter is now a woman, and apparently the OSI follows Leon’s “No women, no kids” policy.
C) Hunter sets up Brock to get Brock out of the OSI, and it’s revealed that he did it to get into the Black Hearts.
D) Hunter switches back to male as part of running SPHINX.
E) Hunter eventually gets to run the OSI.
Now, I’m not sure why/when he switched back to male (or at least got his implants removed!), but I don’t think there’s a whole lot of “trapped in the wrong body” angst going on. More like going female to escape OSI kill squads and to infiltrate the Black Hearts.
Right?

Hunter has commented repeatedly on how much he misses his female accoutrements.
Yeah, I can’t think of any specific lines off the top of my head, but that’s been the implication more than once.
In the penultimate episode, where he’s talking about men having no secrets, he mentions this.
So 21 quit the Monarch. I wonder if he’ll be Sphynx/OSI next season. If so, I suppose he’ll have to get rid of the “Hench Life” tatoo. They can’t really just put him through the machine, because The Monarch and Dr. Mrs. The Monarch are unlikely to just gloss over everything and never mention it.
Good point on Hunter - though I guess I just wrote off the various comments at the time as “I miss my tits!” rather than any angst. After all, he didn’t really need to switch, did he? We know that OSI allows women because of Myrna.
If there is another season Gary is definitely going to end up as a good guy. Since Sphynx is gone, I believe, that puts him as either OSI or Venture. I’m thinking Venture, whether he’s with OSI or not.
The Monarch going up against Gary would be pretty cool - especially when The Monarch gets his ass handed to him a couple times and he ends up afraid to go up against them.

No, it’s The Monarch. The guy with no qualms about ignoring Guild rules and killing people. He’ll just kill Gary, and then we’ll get a scene with him joining 24 in the afterlife.
I think you’re right. He’s like Brock but with more smack talk.
“Boom! That’s Right! This is ALL happening! You cannot change the channel now!”
Nah, he’ll try to kill Gary and will get his ass handed to him. I know The Monarch is actually pretty formidable (“The euthanasia begins in twenty minutes. I’ll be in my room. Crying!”), but keep in mind that he hasn’t managed to take out Rusty either.
Another thing I saw on the comments over there was how much Sergeant Hatred was hated. I had no idea. I was disappointed when he replaced Brock, because I love Brock, but I thought Hatred was a pretty good character. Blah blah pedophile, yes, I know, but he didn’t do any of that on the show.
Besides, he was actually a father to the boys, something that Brock and Rusty never were.

I’d forgotten how much I love the Pulp song played at the end of the Venture Bros episode. That made it all the more awesome.
And Dean actually used foul language! It’s funny how Rusty’s spanish fly saved the day by turning the Black Hearts into mutants. Highly appropriate for Rusty that a horrible action taken with the lowest of motives should have a good outcome.
