Siesta Key Slammer: Should Alex Have Left Pauly Behind Bars?

Alex had his cousin Pauly's back on this week's Siesta Key, showing up to bail his brother from another mother out of jail. Yet did the King of Siesta make the correct move?


First, though, let's explain how Pauly Paul wound up beyond bars: While in Amanda's luau-themed birthday bash, the aspiring DJ pulled Alex aside throughout to confess that there was a warrant out for his arrest because he didn't remember to appear in court for an open container." Right now, since he resisted to turn himself in on a correctly good weekend, it was essential that he "stay on the low."


Whenever Paul casually approached Alex's father for legal advice, it came in the form of a lengthy lecture from Papa Kompothecras, who demanded he "straighten [his] ass out." "You're supposed to learn from your mistakes, and that's how you become a higher class of person," Gary mentioned, sounding a little harsh because, well, this wasn't Pauly's first (or even second) time getting in trouble with the law.


several a day or two later, Paul indeed was arrested, and Alex didn't hesitate to lend a helping hand. Gary, meanwhile, felt differently. "Why don't you let him sit there for several days?" He asked. "Teach him a lesson. You're gonna be babysitting this kid for the rest of your life."


Turns out, there was more to Paul's legal story than he let on -- furthermore to the aforementioned party foul, he was charged with possession of more than 20 grams of weed, making it a straight-up felony and putting bail at $1,500. Cue Alex's jaw drop:


However, Alex saved his relative from doing any more than five hours of time however yet still told Paul, "You can't go about your life being an idiot all of the time."


And while it's critical that Pauly have the felony charge dropped from his record, he seemed most concerned about -- wait for it -- having Grandma take his trust fund away.


"[If] my grandmother gets wind of that, she's cutting me off for sure," he mentioned. "If she cuts the limit, then I don't visualize how I may stay here in Siesta Key. I'll lose everything."


Should Alex have followed his dad's suggestions and taught his cousin a lesson, or is he just following cuz code? Sound off with your thoughts, then visualize what's next for Pauly Paul on Siesta Key Tuesday at 9/8c.
