'Graceland' Season 3 Recap: Episode 6: Will Aaron Tveit, Daniel Sunjata Say "Buto Ijo?"
Season 3 of Graceland continues on USA Network. In Episode 8, Buto Ijo, will undercover agents Mike Warren (Aaron Tveit) and Paul Briggs (Daniel Sunjata) be able to put to save Paige (Serinda Swan) from the volatile lieutenant of the criminal Sarkissian family organization?
Though his undercover assignment is dangerous, Mike is unwilling to back away because he wants the man behind the curtain. Because he is so involved in his own case, Mike actually forgets he was supposed to help Charlie (Vanessa Ferlito). Elsewhere, Paul heads out with Ari Adamian (Rhys Coiro) and meets with Paige (Serinda Swan), who is also undercover.
After threatening to cut her hand off, Paul convinces Ari and his other goon Toros (Val Lauren) that they can use her. After staring at herself in the mirror, Charlie meets with Paul, questioning Paige's safety. Mike meets with his contact, Gusti Vin (Mahedi Rakib), talking about spirituality, before the cops come barging in.
While in lockup, Johnny (Manny Montana) pulls in Mike and Gusti. After Charlie argues with Dale Jakes (Brandon Jay McLaren) about what he is wearing, Paul and Ari meet with Paige as the deal is interrupted. After threatening to go to US customs, Paul threatens the life of his dealer and burns off his face.
Ari is even disgusted by Paul's gory act of violence. Toros and Paige then hit it off, giving her his digits, while leaving the air field. Dale and Charlie show up at the meet, asking for more oxy volume. Unfortunately, Mike is having a hard time with his withdrawal as he's stuck in a jail cell with Gusti.
Mike then heads into the bathroom and feeds his addiction. He then asks Johnny to punch in the face, to make it look like police brutality. Mike talks to Gusti's lover, finding out about her past and how they got married.
Paul then tells Paige that Toros wants more than he expected. She refuses to back down during their next down. Dale ends up going alligator hunting with the oxy dealers, who have doubts about trusting him. Dale then saves one of the dealers before an alligator munches on him.
Gusti watches in another room as Johnny interrogates Mike. After proving himself that he's not snitch, Johnny walks out of the interrogation room. Knowing he can trust Mike, Gusti is ready to reveal his secret to him.
Elsewhere, Ari and Paul end upsetting into an argument with Toros, who's interested in killing them. Paige shows up and interrupts, pretending she's there for a hookup. Paige and Toros end up getting very physical, slapping each other around, as they are about to have rough sex. Paige ends up breaking Toros' nose.
After Mike makes his call, Paige and Paul end up in a house meeting. Charlie discovers there are 20 pills missing from her inventory, which means Mike took it. Turns out Mike used one of those pills to share with Gusti's lover. She then tempts him with the drug, sinking him deeper into his addiction.
