'Good Behavior' Sneak Peek: Letty Makes a Passionate Plea for Custody

Mandi Bierly

At the end of last week’s episode of TNT’s Good Behavior, Letty (Michelle Dockery) turned to her hitman lover, Javier (Juan Diego Botto), and said six simple words: “I need you to kill Sean.” With her son’s biological father ready to fight for custody of Jacob, the ex-con and recovering addict isn’t sure she can win.

Will Javier murder Sean (Todd Williams)? In the promo for tonight’s hour, the penultimate episode of Season 1, we hear Javier say, “You will resent me for doing something you don’t really want done,” and then Letty ask, “Did you do it?”

What we can tell you, thanks to our exclusive sneak peek above, is that Sean is there to hear Letty plead her case to the woman who will make a custody recommendation to the court. It’s a moving, satisfying moment for viewers who’ve known Letty wants Jacob back but hadn’t yet heard her express why she’d be good for him — and it’s a beautifully-acted moment by Dockery, who keeps all of Letty’s emotions in check.

Good Behavior airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on TNT.
