The main thrust of Youll Never Walk Alone is about bringing closure to the Sullivan Saga.
What he didnt realize until the finale was that Jim Sullivan robbed way more than gold coins from Mick.
Once Ray puts it all together, he shoots Jim Sullivan between the eyes.
Jim isnt the only Sullivan to get a bullet in the head this episode.
Declan and his goon are shot multiple times and poor Smitty takes one in the jugular in the crossfire.
He bleeds out in the middle of the street after Mickey runs off with the stocks.
Mickey couldnt even pause to hold Smittys hand or look in his eyes as he died.
Add that to the list of sins Mickey Donovan will someday have to answer for.
The best scene in this somber episode doesnt involve the Sullivans, though.
So where do all these lonely characters go from here?
Has Mickey Donovan ever been lower?
It feels like a preview of what may still come before this series ends.
And what about Ray?
As he says, he cant be around Molly Sullivan anymore, especially after killing her father.
Thats another shot at happiness gone.
Most of all, it feels like Rays anger at his father has shifted to something even more palpable.
As he says, Mickey left them as children to be preyed on by abusive adults.
How long can Ray keep cleaning up the debris?
Deleted Scenes
Did you notice that Liev Schreiber got a co-writing credit this week?
Its actually a little surprising it took this long.
Other than the creators, theres probably no one who knows the characters better.
I love that Mickey Donovan still has a flip phone.
Weve probably seen that before, but it made me laugh this week for some reason.
Does anyone remember Conor Donovan?
Think well ever see him again?
How do we feel about the ten-episode season?
So whos this years MVP?
Its a tough call, but Id probably go with Marsan.
And a lot of the supporting cast felt a little wasted.
I kept waiting for a bigger presence for Kevin Corrigan and Josh Hamilton.
Peter Gerety probably made the biggest impact in terms of seasonal guest stars.
