Dark Winds Season 3: Gordo’s Hilarious Burn on Joe in Episode 7 Is the Best Joke Yet!

BBG News

In the latest episode of Dark Winds, there isn’t much humor, but a joke that’s been lingering throughout the season gets confirmed by a line delivered by A Martinez’s character Gordo. Despite being introduced in season 2, Gordo has emerged as one of the standout characters in this season’s cast of Dark Winds. Through Joe’s (Zahn McClarnon) prolonged struggle, Gordo has proven himself to be a loyal friend who guards Joe’s secrets and stands by his side.

Over two seasons, Joe and Gordo have developed mutual respect for each other as professional partners. In the upcoming third season of “Dark Winds”, this relationship is set to deepen into a friendship. Their collaboration works well because Gordo’s reliability and practical approach complement Joe’s intuitive and instinctive style of policing. This contrast in methods has been subtly humorously portrayed throughout the series, with season 3, episode 7 addressing this dynamic more explicitly.

He Couldn’t Even Get Shot In A Normal Way

In the beginning of the “Dark Winds” episode, Joe finds himself in a hospital room, where Gordo makes an appearance. As the county sheriff enters the room, he says to Joe, “Well, it seems you’ve triumphed. You couldn’t even get shot with something ordinary, could you? Instead, you were struck by a ketamine dart.” He then displays the bag containing the horse tranquilizer, revealing why Joe had such intense hallucinations in the desert. This line not only clarifies the cause of his hallucinations and confusion, but it also subtly concludes a ongoing rivalry that has been hinted at throughout the season.

It’s Been A Dryly Funny Throughline

Throughout the third season of “Dark Winds,” Joe inadvertently outshines Gordo in his detective work. Numerous instances occur in this season where Gordo overlooks crucial evidence at a crime scene that Joe notices, or where Gordo’s hypotheses are swiftly debunked by facts or logic provided by Joe. However, Joe remains oblivious to this, while Gordo expresses frustration each time for failing to make the same discoveries himself.

Joe hasn’t been engaging in a deliberate contest when working with the county sheriff; rather, he isn’t consciously trying to outshine or demonstrate superiority over his colleague during crime scene investigations. Occasionally, Gordo gives Joe an expression of annoyance, but he doesn’t take it personally. It appears that Gordo recognizes his decline as he grows older, which is one of the factors leading him to consider retirement.

In “Dark Winds”, Gordo appears to acknowledge that despite Gordo’s reliability as Scarborough County sheriff, Joe stands out as a superior cop. He perceives things that Gordo misses and trusts Joe’s intuition, a quality Gordo has come to rely on. When it comes to solving cases, he believes Joe has an inherent skill that he doesn’t possess. This sentiment is evident when he quips, “I guess he didn’t realize what kind of thoroughbred he was trying to tranquilize.” Their mutual respect for each other and their dynamic are among the highlights of the series.
