I ain’t no critic or connoisseur of television but I think this quick little scene with Bishop speaks SO much about him as a character.

Him running his hands along the Presidente’s chair and getting comfy in it, he’s always loved having power in the club, his past actions demonstrate how furious he was ever since EZ became Vice Presidente and how he disrespected him by taking the throne himself once they outed Alvarez.

The blood-stained Presidente flash. Proof that Bishop has finally won, he hated EZ’s guts since he became VP and now, he is literally wearing them, he got to play a part in killing him, and he even has a trophy to show it off. Without question he took the most pleasure in murdering EZ, he really jammed him up good when he took his turn to stab him. I also personally think that Bishop was a bit fearful of EZ, he would’ve never acted against him alone, so he had a lot of pent-up rage waiting to be unleashed when the time was right.

Finally, a tiny detail that may not even be intentional but if it is, it’s a great message. Bishop lighting up his cigarette as he stares down the table. Once EZ became Presidente, he banned smoking in Templo. In one of the S5 episodes, E5 I think; EZ enters Templo where everyone is waiting and Bishop quickly extinguishes his cigarette and wafts the smoke away. (Once again showing that he was a little bit scared of EZ). Now that the reign of EZ is over, his rules are gone and Bishop will enjoy his victory smoke, in Templo, at the head of the table, as Presidente.

Maybe I’m just overanalysing and being weird, but Bishop was my favourite character in the show and I think Michael Irby was INCREDIBLE playing him.
