Note: Full spoilers for the episode follow.
"Against Thy Neighbor" began with Abe and Anna meeting rather indiscreetly. They were being spied on--but by whom? Mary? Robeson? It's not Simcoe, though it could be one of his men. Some of them are willing to do whatever he asks of them, as we've seen last week. Abe would have been dead had Baker not intervened. Simcoe is busy poisoning Hewlett's horse to get the heretofore skeptical Major to buy into Simcoe's insistence that Setauket is rife with rebel conspirators.
Richard's being shot was quite a surprise. We know Simcoe is depraved but still, I didn't see that coming. Of course, what makes all this interesting is Simcoe is right: Setauket is a hotbed of rebellion, but he's still underestimating his nemesis, "Farmer Woodhull." Abe, while incurring Simcoe's wrath, is the real spy and hiding right under Simcoe's nose. Simcoe frames Caleb's uncle for poisoning the horse and Caleb's father for shooting Richard, and he also manages to dislodge the petition he's been looking for, that names many of Setauket's Patriots.
