Cisco finds the two henchmen who assaulted Mickey and arranges a "private meeting." Mickey seemed distraught at the brutality of it all but extracts the information about who hired them. What did you make of Mickey's reaction? What was going on with him when he later had rough sex with Maggie?

Well, Mickey and Cisco and the rest of the crew would have been in big trouble if anyone found out that they were holding the two thugs (and beating them). I can understand Mickey being very upset about it. The rough sex with Maggie? I'm guessing he couldn't tell her what happened since she is a prosecutor, and he couldn't start drinking again, and he needed an outlet. Too bad he used her for it.

I was trying to figure out Mickey's source of conflict...was he bugged that they were willing to kill them or the whole thing? Did it make him feel helpless? Was he afraid of his own nature? I wasn't quite sure. Taking it out on Maggie was just wrong.
