'Aquarius' Preview: Mad Like Charlie
How do you convince a mad man you’re part of his pack? Act as crazy as he is. At least, that’s what undercover cop Chairman Tully (Claire Holt) does when she comes face-to-face with Charlie Manson (Gethin Anthony) on this week’s episode of Aquarius. Her presence amongst the growing Manson clan is necessary to LAPD sergeant Sam Hodiak’s (David Duchovny) ongoing investigation, but ol’ Charlie is rightfully suspicious of newcomers. So Chairman sells him on the idea that they’ve met before, specifically “at the Canyon, at the edge of the creek where the road slipped up.”

She goes on to tell how they huddled in circle with their eyes closed and then let loose with a wolf howl — which she then demonstrates to his approval. Way to prove that she’s hungry (like the wolf) to do her job right.
