I do feel sorry for the sniper guy getting killed given he had lost his daughter, but killing the people he felt responsible was wrong and his last actions of shooting just anyone to get Hondo to give him the gang leader was especially wrong The ending scene was pretty effective

When my parents got to the point of needing more help while they were still in their own home, my mom refused to allow it initially because she didn’t want people in her house. Things happened as mom got sick and needed some rehab for a few weeks to regain her strength before she returned home, whereupon she allowed the home health aides in to help with some things but it was at set times. Unfortunately she got sick again, it was determined she couldn’t remain independent in her home and she and my dad went to assisted living. I do think Finn should either move with Gregory and Violet to a bigger place that would better help Gregory, including room for a live-in aide or have Gregory go to assisted living (Turning Woods?)
