'Graceland' Season 2 'Faith 7' Finale: Will Sid Markham Get Arrested?

Sid Markham has outsmarted Mike Warren by provoking him into a physical fight at the FBI building in order to get close enough to place a tracker in Mike's suit pocket. This allowed Sid to find the location of Graceland and once he sneaked inside the household, he took back his tracker so that no one would know he was even there. Before leaving, he stole a handgun and looked at some group photos, one of which showed Mike and Briggs together with the rest of the Graceland gang.

In the previous episode "Echoes," Briggs got into a car with Sid and his team to drive to Mexico to meet with Carlos Solano. With a car full of enemies and no backup in sight, it seems impossible for Briggs to escape once Sid reveals Briggs' allegiance to Mike Warren. I would imagine that Briggs can come up with a story to explain that he is no longer loyal to Mike and that he now disrespects him. That may or may not be enough for Sid to not harm or kill Briggs.

This finale features a lot more villains than the season 1 finale. Because of that, I don't predict that all the bad guys will be taken down in season 2. There just doesn't seem like there is enough time to pull it off while sustaining the quality of the show. The Gracelanders need to deal with the Solano cartel, Sid and his friends, and Amber and her friends. Unless this episode features many FBI tactical teams helping out team Graceland, then maybe it can be done.

I wonder if Sid or his second in command will make it to a potential season 3. They may get arrested, but it wouldn't surprise me if the writers have him escape in the future. The Solano cartel may be done as villains as they've been part of the talk since season 1. With them gone, maybe Graceland can move on to just corrupt law enforcement. Who knows? Sid could be linked to more criminals and corrupt officers. It could be revealed that the case is much bigger than just the LAPD Gang Task Force and the Solanos.
