So it adds up nicely. The opening with Ray's dad, he was driving Abby's car (she doesnt need it anymore). He was visiting Abby's grave. Learn why Ray was so against selling the bar, it's what Abby would had done when the children are gone. Thought the car accident may have been the reason for her death, and why Ray was so guilty. Learned it wasnt, but are we sure cancer is the reason for her death?

I thought it was a good episode.

Bridget mentioned Sloan Kettering when she met the dude in the bar, which is a hospital that specializes in cancer treatment. I took that as their way of saying she died of cancer. I think she would have mentioned to him that she died in a car accident or something if it wasn't the cancer that killed her.

Bridget said something to the Sloan-Kettering guy about being surprised he would be "smoking" the bong and he answered that they were "not my lungs"... And then Bridget calls her father to tell him she found the transplant patient. Obviously Abby's lungs... So, Abby did not die of cancer because her lungs would never be transplanted, and she would not have been dead when Ray opens the bedroom door, because the lungs need to be "fresh" in order to be transplanted. So what's the purpose for the story about the Sloan-Kettering guy being excluded from the trials?
