Short look back to season 2

While not as hilarious as some other episodes so far, this one contributes to some of the threads in a solid and necessary way:

The former happenings around Junior and his dad Glendon get much clearer.

Eli, back on his feet, is now willing to accept Jesse's attempts to prove himself as a leader, though, this doesn't solve the many conflicts between the kids and their partners.

Tiff still calls Judy (being twice her age?) her niece, while clearly being the child, taken care of, at last, though, Judy got a strange understanding of family and caring, as ever.

Kelvin repeats Jesus' expelling of the Pharsees from the temple and earns some respect from his questionnable flock.

Baby Billy gets another dimension, especially when Aimee-Leigh shows up as some kind of remorse, but of course, one cannot compensate for not being a dad for 20+ years, easily. At least Aimee-Leigh gets a great laugh.

Season 2 dismissed a bunch of details into the wild, and it seems, writers have a difficult to catch all these open strings in the finale: Who did the bloody job on the journalist?

Who sent the Ninja bikers?

Did we miss a foe or who is lying and hiding something?

The cliffhanger will make you eager for the finish!

This show has found its voice the last couple of episodes. Yes, it continues to be just as outraeous and over the top, but admist the humoe is some genuine heart and a clear direction.

This is an insane family by any measurement, but you actually got the sense that they are a family recently as opposed to a collection of misfits. Working together for a change and dealing with a common enemy.

Baby Billy continues to absolutely deliver this season. This is just not the kind of role that gets Emmy consideration, but it absolutely should be because Walton Goggins' performances have been great, even when the writing has been a little poor.
