"Day of the Iguana"

In my opinion, this was a mostly mediocre episode of Poker Face that had a strong ending. My prediction that we'd be starting a season-ending arc was correct, though I was not expecting the return of the FBI, the Five Families, and Beatrix Hasp. For much of the runtime, "Day of the Iguana" felt like it was harking back on things I thought we'd already settled all mixed in with a case that didn't seem super intriguing on the front end. But as the pieces clicked into place, especially in the final act, it became clear that we were re-entering the larger mythology of Charlie's road trip.
