We put them in his jelly beans.

I dunno, I thought it was interesting how he seemed to be on an upward trajectory of redemption, and then the success of EAST HASTINGS and the popularity he had with the young cast members completely derailed him. I think that may be more realistic than, "And then he was a good guy forever after."
