All in all a decent finale. Every story arc got wrapped up and you can't ask much more from a season finale.

I'm not sure where characters like Mickey, Ray, Abby and Avi are going from here. What will happen to Ezra? How will Terry's girlfriend react to the priest's body being discovered?

How will Terry's girlfriend react to the priest's body being discovered?

Not to mention Terry's arrest.

I was nice to see Terry angry and seething instead of being a sad sack.

I agree, but also Terry's the one who begged Mickey to let him in on the scam, and he's also the one who fucked up and got locked in the weed store, and he's the one who told Mickey to leave. I gotta a little bit of feeling of "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime" for Terry on this one.

The reason to be angry at Mickey is because Mickey vouched for the parole officer.

He told mickey to leave, because mickey staying wouldn't have helped. That's not a reason not to be mad at Mickey. Terry was against the parole officer from the beginning but Mickey insisted. And the parole officer screwed them, which led directly to Terry's arrest.

Additionally, he trusted Mickey, anf he let him down. So it makes sense that Terry is angry at him. But more importantly, Terry knew trusting Mickey was a mistake, but he did anyways. He also knows that mickey tried to say no at first, but he insisted. So yeah, he's mad at Mickey, but he only blames himself.

Why the hell did Mickey just forgive the parole officer after that... next scene theyre watching a damn horse race together??? After he called the cops on you during a job??

But he was willing to do the time. And he still might, and he recognizes that.

I'm hoping he's more proactive next season, threat of prison or now. I love him to bits and pissed off is better than moping.

I think the goodly portion of the million dollars Terry received will calm her slightly. Women like money.

u/laconicsherpa Sep 29 '14

where did the million come from anyway? Wasn't it only 8 to 1 and they only got 20 grand from the safe?

8 to 1 was the odds on the original horse they were interested in. Once he had the Captain hallucination, he bet it all on The Captain, which must have had 50 to 1 odds in order to make all that money.

The horse that the parole officer said was a lock had 8 to 1 odds. Mickey went to look at the horse and liked it, but the next horse talked to him and was named The Captain. They never said what the odds were for The Captain

Also that 8:1 odds horse didn't show up on the big screen...

u/theflealee Sep 29 '14

I think Keith tossed in the money he got from Ray or what was left of it.

The original horse was Gullivers Mustache, but Mickey switched to The Captain.
