I was intrigued all through but the end left two loose ends that just bugged the heck out of me. 1) In pulling off the final con, how did the Maddie anticipate what the valise full of money would look like (in order to have a dummy case ready?) 2) How did Ezra know the whereabouts of Patrick's safe or the combination?

Glaring Plot Holes and Unconvincing Characters
Scatteril26 June 2023
As an avid viewer of 'Imposter', I was disappointed by the inconsistencies and illogical plot devices that marred the episode "Always Forward, Never Back". The storyline seemed to be crafted with a lack of maturity and careful consideration, leaving numerous plot holes that are hard to ignore.
One glaring question that remained unanswered was how the protagonist knew the passkey to the safe. The episode failed to provide a credible explanation for this, leaving viewers to make speculative leaps that the narrative should have covered.
Moreover, the ease with which the characters were able to wreak havoc on FBI cars was highly implausible. It's hard to believe that all of the FBI vehicles were of the same make, and that damaging them would be a simple task. The anticipation of such a scenario is beyond the realm of credibility and undermines the realism of the show.
Finally, the character development in this episode was lacking. The FBI identified the real identities of the three imposters, yet their reactions were quite unrealistic. Despite it being their first time scampering the FBI, they seemed far too comfortable with the situation. One would expect such characters to be terrified, considering the power and resources at the FBI's disposal. The lack of fear or anxiety from these characters lessened the tension and urgency of their predicament, detracting from the overall impact of the episode.
In conclusion, "Always Forward, Never Back" falls short of the expectations due to its plot holes and unconvincing character reactions. Here's hoping future episodes pay more attention to detail and provide a more coherent and believable storyline.

Storyline was decent until this episode, then hit the skids

Warning: Spoilers
This entire show about grifters has one black hole - there is no protagonist. EVER. All the victims become just as bad as the antagonists, so why should we care?
I kept watching to see if anyone would have redemption in the show, but thus far, it hasn't happened. But then, this episode took the cake.
Apparently, no one seemingly consulted anyone close to an FBI agent before writing this.
The FBI would NEVER rely on a guy watching security cameras and not have someone in the room. They would never take so long to get into the room, or leave the room while there was danger. The big box was so out of place, but no one gave it a thought? The FBI never saw Jules as anything more than a regular person?
An FBI agent in top shape can't outrun a girl in a long wedding dress? His inability to follow her, and then his slow stride across the lawn was, sadly, laughable. What? No agent thought to look at the dock? Shaking my head.
No one was tailing the fake doctor - EVER? No one was posted outside where the cars were parked?
A valet never parked a single car, only directed them where to go? He looked like a PA in a suit.
A purported wealthy man wouldn't have several valet drivers? There was no end to unbelievable nonsense in this episode.
