A grilling awaits when Jim Racine (Zeljko Ivanek, Damages), a no bull, cancer-ridden FBI agent, arrives in Banshee and, while Hood is almost immediately reinstated, former flame Ana – now exposed as Rabbit’s daughter – is handed over to estranged hubby Gordon at the DA’s office for further questioning.

Ordinary housewife ‘Carrie’ is no more and, feeling like she’s got no other option, Ana reverts to her old ways, joining a reluctant Hood and co for the heist of an armoured car carrying cash from the casino. They’ve got company, though, in the form of a mysterious, heat-packing motorcyclist.
