The bond with Ramon was about their hatred for their mothers, right?
I thought the kiss was pure wish fulfilment on Ramon's part. A long kiss while he died could not be that simple. He was doing so to enjoy tricking Archer once more tonight.
I didn't think this was the funniest episode possible thought. I do like the idea of Vice and will like to see how things escalate as the season progresses. Their hands will get truly dirty in that business now that they all feel they were wronged in this deal and will be out for revenge.
