Suddenly, he realized that escaping his family wasnt the answer.
Yeah, the Donovans are a complete mess, but they need Ray and Ray needs them.
Its a twisted relationship, but it works.

While Mickey and Daryll dig graves for the three cops they killed, Smitty appears panicked.
Hes not a Donovan, so hes not used to this.
I mean, shes making sandwiches for everybody!
They have different perspectives, and that will influence so much of what happens in this episode.
Once he pays his respects, he heads to Winslows place.
Hes welcomed in, but hes not there for any cheery conversation.
She tries to manipulate him, telling him she can get him anything his heart desires.
Like I said, Ray cant escape the violence.
Rays surrounded though, and theres no way hes killing Feratti and getting out alive.
Seemingly, Ray is in the clear now, with Winslow dead and Feratti off his back.
Vinny thinks hes saved because he doesnt know Lenas connection to Justine.
In other words, the bodies really pile up in this finale.
Its the Donovans who are left standing, perhaps more whole than ever before.
The way he hugs his brother, who he turned on just a few episodes ago, is touching.
He may be right to an extent, but theyre also the only people who accept and understand him.
Terry tells Bunchy to go inside because he wants to talk to Ray.
You stick around and Ill stick around, okay?
Well, almost all of the Donovans.
When Bunchy and Ray go inside, they have to deliver the bad news.
Ray could only save Bunchy, which means Mickey is destined for prison.
The Donovans sit around telling stories, but this is Mickeys moment.
I was there, he says, drunk and upset.
Ray wanders out into the yard, snow starting to fall.
He calls the therapist who tried to help him when he was committed to the psych hospital.
Maybe this is finally it for Ray.
Maybe hell get the help he needs and the Donovans, in general, will be alright.
Then again, this is the Donovans.
That hope can only last so long.
Now, its on to season 7.
