With only two episodes more to go, we can expect the drama to ramp up in Bad Monkey Episode 9. Andrew Yancy is closer now to his goal of getting his detective badge back. In Episode 8, Yancy’s plans began to take shape. Fans can expect more exciting moments as Yancy and Rosa try to outwit the scheming couple.

It is possible that the tension between Yancy and Evan will reach its peak. The shady dealings of Neville and the Striplings also remain in the balance.

So, all in all, Episode 9 will be another risk-filled nail-biting ride prior to the season finale.

Bonnie's life takes an unexpected turn when she surrenders to an FBI agent, only to realize that the FBI was never actually after her. But she wanted to be arrested, and now she is left with no goals. She is sad and when the FBI agent drives her to Florida, she comes up with something. She buys 20 gas cans upon reaching Florida.

The episode also reveals that Evan was the one who hired the Russians to attack Yancy. But it turns out the boss, Pestov, is actually Yancy’s old friend. He stops the shooting and Yancy takes revenge by shooting at Evan’s house. Bonnie is seen trying to do something for Yancy. She sets Evan’s property on fire.

On the other hand, Gracie steals Nick’s expensive watch. She hopes to start a new life, even though she’s happy with Egg. Yancy knows of her crime, but is more interested in getting information from her. He plans to send Rosa undercover to lure the Striplings to Miami by pretending to be a rich buyer.

Meanwhile, it looks like Evan is trying to bribe Sonny to arrest Yancy. Things might not go as Yancy planned, but he might after all, take his father’s advice and focus on what truly matters to him.
