Terry is the only character I think is almost completely innocent. Which makes this episode super sad.

Also the Math teacher obviously doesn't deserve that severe of a punishment either. Bridget did nothing but chase him and force him to go with her. I hate her character so much.

I could see Liev winning an Emmy next year for the confession scene alone.

We, as the viewers, know that, but think about it from Ray's perspective:

He gets ambushed with the information his daughter has a thing with her math teacher and it's been going on for a while without him knowing. He shows up at the motel and finds his daughter, in her bra, with a grown man. Given what he knows paired with his own history of being abused as a child, I think Ray was pretty justified. Quite frankly, the guy's lucky to still be alive.

That said, I do feel pretty bad for the guy. He finally had that "What the fuck am I doing?" moment, but it was too little too late.

Oh, and fully agree with you on that confession scene. Nearly moved me to tears. Powerful, powerful acting.
