This has just gone from interminably slow to just sad and dreadful. We're literally lead to be full of dread over what's about to happen to Billy.

 

Why is it  exactly that Billy Poe who got a football scholarship that he didn't make use of and has a mother and father and Lee and Isaac and probably plenty of others who care about him won't aid in his own defense? The kids at the school where he coached football seemed to like him.

It wouldn't mean he had to say "Isaac did it" (if that's the case). I don't get it.

I tend to agree. The whole Brotherhood plot shoe horned in is absurd. And how predictable was it that Isaac would be assaulted after he was paid? Billy is a confusing character. The whole Lee/Alejandro subplot is boring. I am not surprised there is almost no participation at this thread.

Well, that was a sex scene I haven't seen before!!!

Or ever hope to see again!!

This continues to take a darker and darker turn.

Wow! Grace was mean to tattle on Lee to her new husband, perhaps deservedly, but still. I had mostly liked Grace.

Can we say that guy was on the down-low ?

The whole Issac "On the Road" plot is irritating. Jeez man, buy a frigging bus ticket. You have a1600 SAT and a scholarship, they would help you get to CA. There is simply no reason for him to be traveling this way.

The motivations of Billy and him are inscrutable.

Issac duct taping his transcript to his leg is beyond ridiculous. How does he take a shower?  And leaving that tape on during his endless oddessy across the country is bad for his skin and circulation.  Did someone steal all the money he stole from his father?  I don't recall.  

I kind of liked Grace ratting out Lee for sleeping with Bobby.  I'm not a fan of Lee and her behavior.

He gave it back.  Actually, he left it on the steps after he witnessed Lee & Billy's little tryst on the front porch.  Lee found it.

Finally got around to watching this episode - this show is not "must see tv" in my living room. 

Is there anybody we can root for in this show?  People just behave so badly and so stupidly I'm just shaking my head through the entire episode.  I'm just hoping that Harris wiped off the gun like he was wiping off the car, because it didn't appear that he had gloves on when he was shown pointing it behind the diner.  And his ex-partner did give him some good advice about the pharmacist and to dig deeper to where the drugs were coming from.  

The sex scene at the motel - who the hell thinks up this shit?  It was good for a sick laugh until both the john and Isaac were beaten.  I hope that the john lives and doesn't accuse Isaac of doing that or setting him up.  And yeah, why the hell doesn't Isaac just buy a freakin bus ticket and just sell himself in LA.  He could probably get into the porn industry and make better money than rolling johns at truck stops.  

Billy's mother showed herself to be a real bitch.  Lee has acted stupidly and cheating on her husband with Billy sure wasn't the right thing to do but did she really deserve THAT?  And the husband seemed so nice but he packed his bag and drove off without so much even asking Lee what her side of the story was.   So are we to believe that he is really a possessive asshole who just views Lee as another thing that he owns and is that to make us more sympathetic to her sleeping with Billy?

And speaking of Billy - there is a guy with a self-destructive streak a mile long.  He is going to be subjected to every type of debasement there is in prison.   He is reminding me of somebody out of a de Sade novel. This whole show is making me think of de Sade, but the question is, who is being tortured - the characters or the viewers?

The Pittsburgh plot was confusing to me.  How could he not know for sure if the waiter was in fact the shooter?  Couldn't he lift his fingerprint somehow? And again, because this was shot in almost complete darkness, did the ex partner kill himself?  Did not understand the window exploding.
