Joanna getting beaten
It was pretty awesome at first, since Joanna is such a vile person and finally got what was coming to her. Then I remembered she's a masochist and was probably loving the abuse. That's messed up.
shareLooked like she was beat close to death and they showed only surface injuries hours later?

Yea, no way she'd only have bruises on her face after that.

But I think once we saw what she told the bf to do, that was the plan all along - to get him to that point so the story of him killing his own wife would be plausible. These are easy things. But I wish those things would have happened in an earlier episode so that this episode could have had more of ... anything else.

Clearly Joanna was banging the bartender as an effort to get him to lie to the cops...she is diabolical.
shareShe was never seen with the bartender in public. She planned an exoneration for her husband from the night it happened.
shareIt all makes sense because I wondering why she was with this guy, and he's too dumb to realize he got played. She evidently planned getting beat up too.
shareI was wondering where Mr. Sutherland was during that beating. Seems like if he knew that's where Joanna was going... that he would go with her.
That's what my daughter said too - where the heck is mr. X the bodyguard?

She intended to get beat up, she told the bodyguard to let it happen. He was probably waiting outside the front door listening for a "safe word" in case it went further than she could handle.
shareYou really think so? Wow, I don't know that I believe that she would take the chance that he might kill her, or do major damage. I thought she looked kind of shocked that he attacked her. She was choking, you would think Mr. Sutherland would come to save her.
shareI absolutely think so. It was the means by which she would manipulate her lover into lying to the police about her husband's innocence. The lover she intended to use from the very beginning.
Why else would she have gone to visit that guy anyway? What could she have hoped to get from him? To make him stop trying to psyche her out? She didn't need to do that in person. From the minute she walked in the door she was pushing him, taunting him about not being powerful, trying to get a rise out of him. If she just wanted him to cut it out, why deliberately provoke him, especially after he apologized?
When Elliot traced the calls back to his house the opportunity to use him fell into her lap and she made the most of it.
I definitely agree with you that she was taunting him. But I thought she was going to end up blackmailing him so that she could get her money from ECorp that he had refused to give her in an earlier meeting.
But the way you explain it makes sense in that it shows just how far she would go to get what she wants. Yikes.
Yep, more like broken nose and jaws and everything swollen of course.

With that beating she wouldn't have a perfect set of teeth either.
I hate how they always undersell the results of violence in these things.

yup reason 4394586932 this show makes no sense.
And at some point they are going to make more obvious than they already did that she planned it so that she could motivate the idiot guy in to testifying against the CTO

Definitely! I wished she'd looked like Mike Ehrmantraut did after he lets Tuco beat him up (Better Call Saul)! He had one eyes swollen shut and half his mouth as big as an apple. That's how you send someone to jail.
I followed all the rules...and you followed none of them. And they all loved you more. share
