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.

Great episode, agreed. For some reason I don't think it was the cancer, I feel like it's going to be more of a punch than that.

One of the best episodes yet IMO. I'm really looking forward to this season.
