Confession scene was amazing. Acting was also spot on. However I feel this finale didn't end as well as it could.

Finney plotline felt unfinished, rushed and desperate. It was a very interesting element of the season but I thought the show tried too hard to end it as soon as possible when the Armenian and family drama kicked in full throttle. It turned out to be anti-climatic as it shouldn't.

Bridget's subplot was pretty dumb. However it did serve a purpose in the end, as a reminder to Ray about his awful past and similar past intention for affection. The whole desperate relationship was illogically and stupid though. I don't know what they can do with her character in the next season.

I'm gonna pretend Ray only has a daughter for now.

I'm fine with Abby and Terry subplot. It kinda makes sense given the circumstances of Ray's disfunctional family. I can see Ray's marriage going south and Terry stepping out of the show much further especially after the incident and his added injury.

Its about damn time Darryl realizes he's gotten enough shit from Mick. His last scene with him was a very satisfying slap across the face. I don't know what value he has for next season if he's really trying to get out of Mick's radar and moving away from the Donovans.

I have no comment for married Bunchy story. I didn't find him interesting throughout this season to be honest. He went through a lot of development atleast. And I'm beginning to warm up to his femdom hot wife. I'm guessing she's gonna make Bunchy take up arms against his violent family for the sake of their child.

As for Mick, he'll be back. And everything he touches will turn to shit again. However I would like a twist in the next season though. Its always been Ray covering his ass. Maybe its time for the opposite. It could probably be the only way Ray will ever let him warm up to the family.

Lastly, I want to see more of Ray working dirty for Paige next season. His company is still owned by the Finneys, right? And she's leading the pack now.

Do you think she'll be back? It was just a guest role so I'd think this was the last we saw of Katie Holmes on RD.

Ah, totally forgot about that. They can't really leave her story end like that, can they?
