For the first couple of episodes,
Good Girls hovers in a comfortable narrative pattern. Beth is still working for Rio, using the hot tub store she runs with her husband, Dean (Matthew Lillard), as a front to launder money, as opposed to their now shut-down car dealership. She is also confronted by the hitman she previously hired to kill Rio, Mr. Fitzpatrick (Andrew McCarthy), in a storyline that is reminiscent of Leslie, a.k.a. Boomer, from season one. Ruby and Stan (Reno Wilson) deal with more financial woes as they help out their daughter Sarah’s kidney donor family. Agent Phoebe (Lauren Lapkus) has gone undercover with Beth instead of Ruby, hoping to uncover the details of her scheme, even though her higher-ups don’t believe a soccer mom could be involved in such crimes.
