Now Playing VIDEO: 11. 22. 63 Star T. R. Knight Breaks Down That Shocking Death Next Up The Blacklist Season 7 Episode 17 'Brothers' Sneak Peek [Warning: This article contains major spoilers about Episode 5 of 11. 63. Read at your own risk! ] Johnny Clayton ( T. Knight) finally got what was coming to him on this week's episode of Hulu's 11. 63 - or did he? According to Knight, the character was as much a victim as he is a sadistic villain. "I think he's a total tragedy, " Knight tells "If you think about just a villain vs. hero kind of thing, I think that kind of black-and-white thinking, at least in my brain, is unhelpful.... I think you've got to dig a lot deeper than that, and figure out where it all came from. " Where it all came from, in Johnny's case, is physical and sexual abuse dating back to when he was a child. In case you missed the passing reference in Episode 4, Sadie ( Sarah Gadon) tells Jake ( James Franco) that Johnny keeps a clothespin clipped to his penis to this day.
level 1 Jake was an asshole for throwing Sadie's casserole in the garbage. He probably felt like he didn't deserve to eat her nice casserole but still, those big glass casserole baking dishes were not cheap in 1963. He could have at least saved it and returned it to her. level 2 Totally think they were enchiladas. Anybody else?
The past had created an illusion to stop Bill from changing history. Then a gunshot cuts through the air and the only evidence that could have linked Oswald to Kennedy is gone. Jake is questioned by the cops back at the hospital, who initially consider him a suspect, but after he explains "it felt great when I cracked his skull because he deserved it, " the cops believe him. At this point Jake has killed two people on the excuse that they "deserved it" with at least one more to go. Then Jake sees a wounded Walker enter the hospital. He calls Bill, who is crying and shaken. He messed up. They both know he did, but Jake realizes that he is as much to blame because he went to Sadie instead of dealing with the shooter. He leaves the phone hanging and walks away without saying anything to Bill. A doctor comes by and apologizes to Jake that they couldn't fully heal the gash on Sadie's face and she'll have a scar. Jake could care less about the scar and runs to her. He's tired of lying. He bears all to Sadie.

Getting an episode this good this late into a miniseries' run is a bit of a catch-22, of course. The better it gets, the more I don't want it to end. Three more episodes, and while I want to push off watching them as long as possible, I can't wait to see what happens.

level 1 It was kind of fucked up for Jake to just leave Bill hanging on the phone like that. They were both victims of the past screwing with them, and placing blame on Bill when Jake's actions have done just as much to screw with the plan was messed up. level 2 I don't think he was 100% blaming Bill, he knew beforehand that the past would push back. I think he was just shocked that everything they've done so far was wasted. level 1 Damn it Jake, you should never throw a perfectly good dinner away like that. level 2 Seriously... the dish and all. Who really does that? level 2 I thought he was still going to eat it, but then he just trashed it. level 2 Actress playing Sadie really did a great job with that facial expression. "Lol the future! Jake you're so funny. 're serious... " Really well done scene. level 2 Oh damn only 3 episodes? It's great show, I binge watched 1st 4 so it went really fast. When he hit him with that I thought it would just put him on the ground like in every movie, but it was stuck in his head:).
It comes across almost Hopper-esque in its simplicity and insinuation. Indeed, many of Franco's shots are off-center here, utilizing negative space to make even outdoor scenes feel claustrophobic. However, in the world of actual claustrophobia, there's an especially tense moment when a doorbell rings at exactly the most inopportune time. Here, Franco is channeling Norman Rockwell at his most perverse, a bloody Sadie and her psycho ex a Leave it to Beaver in Hell tableau. Franco knows just how much – and how little – to push his actors and, amazingly, himself. It probably doesn't need to be repeated at this point, but man is James Franco good in this role. There's a hospital scene at the end of the episode that requires absolute subtlety and underplaying. Franco is more than up to the task, as he has been for most of this run. Maybe that's short-changing those actors who stepped into this series with a lot less baggage to overcome. Sarah Gadon has been perfect from scene one, as has Chris Carter (who reappears here), George McKay (whose Bill has his best scene yet in this episode), and Daniel Webber as the mood-swing-prone Lee Harvey Oswald… but after so many roles where Franco just seemed to be coasting, here he's digging in and earning it.
