J (Mark P. Hawthorne) shows up at Leena’s (Jasmine Hester)
doorstep unannounced to deliver a warning.
He questions her judgment and her loyalty, wondering how she could go
along with her jailbird ex-boyfriend so willingly. He informs her that Zho’s disrespect will not
go unanswered, so it would be in her best interest to stay clear of him. He also leaves her with a painful memento
from the past.
“Sins Remembered” is the shortest episode of Touye Pwen yet, and its title is
completely self-explanatory. The
inability to forgive a perceived slight can land one in all sorts of turmoil. The best option for J would’ve been to simply
walk away from the situation and chalk the whole thing up as a loss. Alas, he just he informed Ox of all that
transpired. Now, things have escalated
beyond J’s control. He struggles to step
into the character he’s created for himself, though it’s clear to everyone else
around him that he simply is not built for that particular role.
As it turns out, Zho isn’t the only one harboring deep and
painful secrets. J leaves Leena with a reminder
of what could have been. I doubt that
Leena has informed Zho as to the extent of her relationship with J. It is likely that she harbors feelings for both
men at this point. Unfortunately, J
likely took himself out of the running by blinking first during his
metaphorical staring contest with Zho. That
display of “weakness” probably cost him the battle.
My advice to J remains the same as it did at the close of
the second episode: walk away. Any woman
that has to be won like a trophy in a prize fight isn’t worth the trouble, especially
when the cost and likelihood of losing is so high. “Sins Remembered” lasts half as long as a Looney Tunes short, and literally feels
like a delivered telegram. The news is decidedly
bad, as is the entire situation. The characters
of Touye Pwen seem to exist amidst a sea
of bad decisions and lack of foresight.
I get the suspicion that R.L. Scott is setting up a finishing blow of
epic proportions. Somebody isn’t walking
away from this.
