Not a big William fan so I'm glad this storyline is done.

Easier said than done, PP! He was in a terrible situation. I think he did do the right thing by leaving him in a "safe place" to have the opportunity to be adopted by a good family who could provide for him. William was selfless, IMO.

Agree with the Op and glad that (completely unrealistic) storyline is done!
- child of an addict who can't stand all the love for William

Let's not forget that he tried to get Randall back once he got his life together.

Which is probably the most selfish thing you can do to a kid...hi, I'm a total stranger, but I want to rip you away from the only family you've known to be your dad.

He didn't try to get Randall back but asked to meet him and visit with him.

Anyway- the ending tonight was something. I'm glad that Rebecca and Jack weren't on the outs when it happened.

We don't know for sure they were together. The fire was a few months later. Also, it looks like he died in a house fire but how and what why does Kate blame herself? She said last season it was her fault so she blames herself for some reason. Did she start the fire? Did her Dad go into the house to try to save her? All we know if Jack died probably in a fire. Don't know if he was sober, drunk, etc.

"Moore wants you to pay attention to some of the clues planted in that final sequence. “There were some clues I don’t know if people picked up on — Kate was holding a dog, Randall’s got a girlfriend, and Kevin has a broken leg,” she says. “These are all things that I think people are going to see sort of the origin of in the next couple of episodes, leading up to figuring out a bigger piece of the puzzle.”"

There was wedding rings in a bad in the car. I figured maybe she was picking them up from the jeweler.

I guess maybe that is what they could salvage from the fire?

Oh i figured she was give the bag of his things at the hospital when he died....

Oh, I had a totally different impression. I thought she had picked them up from the jeweler because they were renewing their vows or something and literally was pulling up to the house. There were two rings in the bag.

I thought there was only one ring. Other items, according to an article I read, included a notebook, watch and keys.
