Recap of Common Side Effects episode 4
Marshall purchases a property near a dump site to recreate the conditions in Peru and grow the mushrooms further. He then learns that a redneck family lives next to him, and they have laid mines everywhere to hunt wild boars.
However, Marshall fails to replicate the mushroom and grows frustrated with his progress. He then sends a post to Sonia wishing her well.
Frances gets a call from Sonia, who tells her she is doing well. She immediately goes down to meet her mother. There, Sonia reveals that she got an anonymous letter and is shocked to see that the mushroom worked.
Frances seeks out Marshall immediately. However, Copano and Harrington also get a lead on Frances, and they start tracking her immediately.
Frances then finds Marshall, but the assassin starts chasing him. Marshall follows behind as well, and just as the assassin is about to shoot Marshall, he ends up stepping on a landmine, blowing him up to smithereens.
Thinking that everything is done, the episode ends with the camera panning towards Frances as she is in shock at what happened.
