Meg got all the privileges Dan never got. The family put her through school, hired her as an attorney, seeks her advice, respects and (seemingly) adores her.

I thought Sally had run away from Robert's rage, and it's because Sarah was distraught about her mother's departure that Danny took the girl out on the boat to distract her.

Yes, interesting regarding the ill-gotten cash.

But, no doubt next season, his ghost and memories of Danny will linger and interact with the other characters, even more than Sarah's did.

Danny clearly is playing out to the max the self-destructiveness and "either the family of me will survive" mentality he evidenced during his self-destructive drug/drink-fueled binge in Key West. I suspect next season, "Detective Badass", the perceptive coroner, and Marco are going to figure out what really happened…

Faulkner-esque? Yes, indeed.

How much deeper south can you get than Florida (a former slave state, BTW)? In fact, Key West is the southernmost point in the USA.

RE: Angie - she shared a huge truth, from an innocent child's perspective. That's how Peggy's kid feels (if the boy knows he was adopted) and how Stephanie's son will feel, unless Stephanie makes herself part of the boy's life.

@With all the crap that entails.

True. But in-show we know four factors that, alone - not to mention in concert - could make the character Betty gain weight: she…
…had a thyroid problem
…had quit smoking
…was bored and unfulfilled, and
…was at an age when many women gain weight, unless they take measures to counteract that

You keep likening your responses to your experiences and those of people close to you. How about taking a wider view?

RE: "all i can assume is that the real "Betty" had some deep weirdness in her life"

I don't think so.

RE: Also women in the sixties did NOT play with their kids - I beg to differ.

Has to be…he's out of cereal. (Don told Carnation cereal is for kids.)

A thing like that!

Hard to be a "normal, everyday drifter" when you have seven figures in the bank.

Old fashioned paper phone books also come in handy when trying to intimidate someone who's kicking up to the wrong person, as Phil Leotardo showed Lorraine Calluzo, in The Sopranos - Season 5, Episode 3: Where's Johnny?

No doubt, the prospect of being able to escape Wichita on a Learjet, at will - "like driving to Montauk" - makes the prospect palatable. Not to mention, "the city's become a toilet."
