[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was a well done episode.  I'm surprised that nobody mentioned that Randall called William "Dad" for the first time when he was holding his face in his hands.  That being said, I can't get past the fact that William abandoned his son.  He could have gotten his shit together and raised him but chose not to.  Not a big William fan so I'm glad this storyline is done.[/quote]

He did get his shit together, and then asked to be a part of his life, but Mandy Moore froze him out. [/quote]

Ok so this is one thing I didn't get. They showed William's downward spiral into drug use. They also showed him telling Mandy Moore that he was clean and wanted to be a part of his son’s life. I get that she didn’t want him to do that. What I don’t get is what William did for the next 30+ years? He was clean for a while yet never went back to see his cousin or join back up with the band. In some ways they make it sounds like he was a drug addict for a lot longer than he really was. [/quote]

In last night's episode William told his cousin that he didn't go back because he was embarrassed about what he (William) had become.  [/quote]

I saw that, but was still confused because it seemed like his drug  years didn't last that long, based on when he told Rebecca he was clean and wanted a relationship with his son. So what did he do for those 30yrs? [/quote]

It's likely William went back to drugs after Rebecca made sure he wasn't part of Randall's life. It can be a lifelong struggle. My brother just passed away from an overdose after 30 years of using. He had clean periods of time, but lived with so much shame.[/quote]

And William took up with that guy, remember?[/quote]

That's right, they never did show him saying his goodbyes to Jessie (I think was his name?).[/quote]
