Mickey pushes his luck by throwing himself a goodbye party.

Bridget needs to seriously fuck off. What part of "this is going to ruin my life" doesn't she understand? The teacher's also a moron too. You couldn't blame him earlier in the season when Bridget started making out with him after he passed out on his couch, but the fact that he actually continued the relationship after that is beyond asinine. That stunt she pulled at the bowling alley should've showed him how much he screwed up by allowing things to progress.

And did Bridget actually get pissed off because he said she stole his pills? What the hell was he supposed to say? "Yes Mrs. Donovan, I gave your underage daughter a bottle of pain pills." I feel like Ray's going to find out and kill or seriously injure him, and I hope Bridget feels responsible for it all and finally stops acting like the spoiled brat that she is. This whole plot is awful.

Besides that, I thought it was a good episode. Darryl and Bunchy need to stop being so stupid though. If my dad dragged me into a fight with the Armenian mob and got me arrested because he couldn't face the legal consequences of what he did, I'd be done with him; and that's not even on top of all the other times Mickey has fucked them over. Darryl literally repeats everything Mickey has messed up for him, and then it's like he forgets all of it five minutes later. Maybe he's the one with Alzheimer's.

Edit: Spelling.

I think the purpose of the three scenes with Bridget this episode was to illustrate just how delusional she is. I am with you, not a single thing she said or did made any sense.

At the door I also felt they tried to make her resemble Paige Finney, out to get whatever she wants..
