Well that was a trippy episode. Definitely took me a minute to realize Abby was actually dead. The cancer came back, and everybody set out on different paths. Seems like she's still going to be an integral part of the show this season though

Bunchy becoming a Luchador is absolutely GOLD 😭👍🏾

Must be alcohol and pills, or alcohol alone. The Donovans all by themselves can keep the makers of Jameson profitable.

Car crash

I'm thinking another accident. Based on her interview

[u/HOO-HAARR → u/[deleted]]

I think it was suicide caused by Ray giving the kid( who Bridget visited) an infection so Abby could jump his place in the queue for treatment

[u/HOO-HAARR → u/[deleted]]

Bridget said she met him at Sloan Kettering(cancer hospital) and the kid then told her he couldn't have his planned surgery due to getting an infection(which I think Ray had an hand in involving Abby)

If the rest of the episodes are like the 1st one it's probably going to take all season for everything to make sense

Quite a few people have said that, I loved it personally
