It’s a shame that Kendall has thrown away his sobriety because of the false stories his father planted. The father is some piece of work, I feel he doesn’t love, respect, or have any loyalty to any of his children.

       I think so too and am thinking that we will learn that some issue/event from father's past has provoked his negative attitude towards his children !!

I intend to watch the nephew(not in last nights show) and Tom Shiv's fiance.  Matthew Macfadyen is a very good British actor.  Predictions for this show is that Tom is not what he appears to be.  We shall see!

Agree. Writers could have done a lot with therapy material but too much time spent on drugs and more bad decisions. Was hoping the ousted son would get kidnapped. Dad could have refused to pay ransom. That's the kind of writing I was hoping for.

      This show just gets more and more absurd!   Is the father out to destroy each one of his kids??  Last night's show was pretty disgusting.  Is this show rated an XX show??

I don't think the wedding is going to happen. Tom is a loser, Shiv is going to realize she can do better.

      Anybody see this show last night...the Finale???  I still find it so weird!!  Just how much power does the father have over his kids?  And is Shiv kind of a nut case? And is the older son a wimp and has no back bone?  This show has been renewed, but I don't see much of a future for it....another take over by the family?

I saw it.  Let me get this right.  Due to Kendalls interest in scoring drugs, he is now being blamed by his father for the waitor's drowing because a keycard of Kendalls was discovered in the vehicle. So somehow the father figured it all out and Kendall bursts into tears and they hug and father says this is the perfect father/son reconcilliciation.  So no take over after all??

       I guess no take over this time!!!  LOL....it is the strangest show ever.  Hope next season's stories are better connected.  Am curious as to what role the stepmother is taking and what will happen when they find out that the nephew made copies of all that incriminating evidence!!

Kendall is responsible for the waiter's death. He was driving ( even though he said he doesn't drive much because he's rich) a stick shift he wasn't use to because he was so desperate to score drugs. Kendall made no attempt to try to save the waiter, just saved himself ( it reminded me of Ted Kennedy and Chappaquiddick when Mary Jo Kopechne died). I don't feel sorry for any of these characters.
