Sneaky Pete season 2 premiere recap and grade: The Sinister Hotel Room Mystery

Sneaky Pete season 2 is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video and the season premiere sees Marius in a new predicament where he has to find real Pete’s mom and the $11 million dollars she stole.

Marius sees an opportunity when he is seized by two mercenaries Frank and Joe who are searching for Pete’s mother Maggie and the $11 million she stole from their employer. Meanwhile, Audrey, Otto and Taylor deal with the fallout from Winslow’s murder and Julia tries to figure out how to do her new job as a money launderer for Dockery.

The clock is ticking for Marius to pull off his biggest job yet. He has 72 hours to find real Pete’s mom and the $11 million she stole from a crime lord or else Julia and everyone at the farmhouse is going to die. Marius knows it was Gina and Gavin who set him up, but he needs their help to find Maggie. He also needs to rely on Marjorie to guide him through the steps of this play in order to get the cash and to avoid anyone getting killed. The first step is trying to contact Pete to find out what he can about his mom. Marius gets a call to Pete in prison who tells him that his mom died three years ago.

So much for finding her then.

Frank holds Marius hostage inside a hotel room where Gina and Gavin are being held captive too. This is not going to end well. Joe is outside waiting to shoot Julia is Marius doesn’t cooperate. He doesn’t cooperate and calls Julia and orders her to shoot through her door. That crisis is avoided, but it’s not safe in the hotel room where Marius tells Frank to kill him right now if they ever harmed Julia. She isn’t harmed but Frank has to send a message so he makes Marius choose between Gina and Gavin who he’s going to kill. He can’t choose so Frank stabs Gavin in the gut and he bleeds out on the floor.

Now he has 48 hours to find Pete’s mother.

Marius calls Julia to apologize for the false alarm. The next step in this play is to get Pete out of prison, which would risk burning Marius with the family, but it’s a necessary evil with the clock ticking.
