Recap / The Pretender S 3 E 06 Parole

Go To

Jarod impersonates an ex-convict to unmask a crooked parole officer. Sydney's son Nicholas learns the truth about his parentage.


This episode contains examples of:

  • Dramatic Gun Cock: Jarod dramatically cocks his pump-action shotgun a couple of times.
  • Even the Dog Is Ashamed: After the villain is defeated, there's a shot of his beloved dogs looking dolefully at him.
  • Meaningful Echo: After Nicholas learns that George, the man he always thought was his father, wasn't his genetic parent, Sydney tells him that George has just as much claim to be considered his father because he was the one who raised him, who was there when he was sick, and who taught him to ride a bike and tie a tie. At the end of the episode, during a conversation with Jarod, Sydney straightens Jarod's tie and complains "Didn't I teach you to tie a tie?"
  • Sequel Episode: The B-plot is a sequel to the B-plot in the previous season's "Bulletproof", in which Sydney learned of Nicholas' existence but chose not to disrupt his life by revealing his past.
  • Tattooed Crook: Jarod acquires (temporary) tattoos to look the part of the ex-con he's pretending to be.
