Thought the actor playing Mickey in the flashbacks did really good. I figured out who his character was meant to be pretty quickly.

Well if the beat down Ray gave those guys didn't scare Molly away I'm sure Terry's driving will.

Sandy is my comic relief!

Is Smitty an idiot? He’s not being arrested, they have no evidence on him. Why the hell is he talking to the cops or even in an interrogation room?

I love Mickey. John Voight plays him to a T. I don’t know why so many people on here want to bump him off. Yes of course he’s evil, but he does bring comic relief especially with the old lady. She’s a pisser too, !

Annnnd Ray D is instantly good again

Anyone else bothered by the plot holes around the timeline? The armor truck robbery was supposed to be 1977, yet Darrel was already born? And after armed robbery and shooting at cops, Mick gets out of jail on good behavior yet Ray has not aged even though he is a kid?

With every passing episode, I hate Mickey more and more.

I usually don't pay attention to directors for TV but tonight's was Kyra Sedgwick.

Pretty good episode. Is J. Sullivan really a billionaire? Mick is such a dumb ass. I lol'd when the armored car drove off. I feel for Ray losing both Mother and Wife to a prolonged illness.

(I was feeling the parallels tonight between Mick & Frank Gallagher from Shameless)

This was definitely a great episode, despite the plot holes. I like that we can see the gears turning for a bunch of different characters. Ray is forced to decide what he is capable of doing to stop Mick. Daryl is realizing that he is still the black sheep (no pun intended), and even Mick doesn't value him enough to put the money in his name. Smitty is seeing the shit storm that his pre-wedding body burrying has caused. Terry is questioning Smitty's loyalty to the Donovan family. Bunchy is wondering if he is fit for non retail work. Molly is learning how violent Ray can be, and likely learning some of the darkness surrounding her father and his past. Bridget is becoming her father (though her character has been pretty lackluster this season).
