I thought that was a perfect example for 'Examples of storytelling - build it up to 101 possible scenarios, and then end it completely out of left field'
It was almost a cautionary tale, wasn't it? They sit there patiently (ish) putting up with FBI raids & stretch limo's with Pink Ladies... then a neighbour shows up & it's just the bag of Cheetos that broke the camel's back!
She thought it was a bad day because she was out of Cheetos. See what happens when you don't have an attitude of gratitude? 🙂
And we are left to guess whether the drugged out woman was shouting 1-1-9, 1-1-9 !!! (I'll bet she was)
Wait...that woman lived in a completely different development, right?
Yes, the Rancho Rosa development. The Jones' live in a different area of Vegas.
I thought 1-1-9 woman and the child in her home were directly across the street from Dougie's home. The kid leaves the house and crosses the street and looks at Dougie's car before it explodes.
Janey-E lived at Lancelot Ct.
119 woman lived at Rancho Rosa development (where Jade and tulpa-Dougie shacked up).
Loved it!! For all the reasons y'all mention. At first, when he pulled up, I thought it was Audrey's Charlie, but nope, just some totally random dude.
And yeknow, whether Frost/Lynch intended it or not, I'm going to say it was just another bit of Cooper's life-saving karma. Hutch and Chantal might have gone after Sonny Jim and Janey-E, but not anymore. The Fireman, of MIKE, or some other force of good may have been involved in sending a dude who just happens to have fully automatic weapons and a short temper to that spot at that time.

Dammit you're right. His car never made it home. My bad. Thanks!

This.^^
My most satisfying sadist-removal moment of the series, so far...
If you have lived in Vegas this would make more sense. It's not your average town with average neighbors...you don't want to piss anybody off.

Just like you don't want to piss of Nicholas Cage if he's wearing his snakeskin jacket. ( Wild at Heart )

Jade gave him TWO rides.
And we got 2 Lost Highway references:
(1) Two detectives sitting in a Ford, waiting outside a house, with the Ford logo right in our faces.
(2) Road rage.
That whole scene was absolutely fantastic. We expected a violent confrontation between Mr C's hit squad and some of our beloved characters but WOW Lynch and Frost know how to go out in left field for the better! Our gangsters and FBI both on site but the shootout is with a pissed off neighbor? Marvelous!
Ok so there wasn't more to the story? He truly was a neighbor mad bc his driveway was blocked? I mean ... that's ALOT of anger he took out for just blocking the driveway. But I can go with it.
He had a tough day.
DON'T. F*CK. WITH. THE. ACCOUNTANT.
LOL
Somehow I don't think the Polish accountant was just an accountant. 🙂
And is it weird that I partially expected the blood spattered on the windshield to be flaked with orange cheesy dust?
I told my bestie during that scene that I was kinda surprised she didn't bleed ketchup and mustard.
Why are people calling him the accountant, was there something in the series or just in the credits?
- It seemed to me like he was sent specifically after them, i didnt see the driveway they reffered to but they said they weren't near it and he just straight at them and turned left as if he was blocking them off.

119n lady lives across the street from the empty house where Jade gave Dougie 1 ride in EP3. His car was there for a long time because his keys disappeared.

You're right, John. The credits include Polish accountant. The guy's car also has a commercial logo on the driver's door: "Zawaski Accounting, Inc." so, presumably...
I could not resist making this!!
