to which Beth responded, Not if I dont kill him first.
But only metaphorically speaking.
My six-year-old son was watching a part of that episode with me.
He said, Are you really going to kill your brother?
Nowhas Kevin bottomed out?Yes.
I would say that this is Kevins low point.
But he gets hit with the news about his sisters miscarriage.
How is he going to process it when he learns his brother has fallen prey to addiction?
But its hard to do that when you endanger somebodys child.
as hes looking rough.
I still have things that Im working on.
So yeah, the family probably couldve been a bit more attuned.
Lets back up into the past.
Jack and Randalls relationship goes a level deeper in this episode.

So William lays out what could have been.
Except for the fact that was it his place?
Do I have that right?
And ultimately he says no.
So, how nigh is it?
How should we read that ending?Before the season is over, we see how Jack dies.
His life is a game of Pac-Man and the game doesnt change.

You know theres no beating the ghosts.
Youre never going to conquer them.
