Threatening and truly frightening, as well as utterly believable as a child molester. Gold acting stars to Steve Guttenberg, because he was amazing. And then I expected the suddenly very scary Woody to go after Veronica, like Aaron did. It's the penultimate episode of the season, and anyone could die, after all. And then I thought he might kill Wallace. I really thought Lucky was going to kill Jackie when he went postal at the school. Why would Lucky bomb the kids on the bus and Woody and his family? That of course meant that it wasn't Woody, either. But the crash wasn't caused by poor Lucky, who was the latest and most believable bus crash suspect. We now know that two of the boys Woody molested were on the bus. He's an actor and a big name movie star, after all, and Logan destroyed the major evidence against him. Why was I surprised that Aaron got away with Lilly's murder? Of course he would get away with it. It was even more painful watching Aaron pull an OJ. It was actually painful watching Veronica and Logan testify against Aaron.

When they rev up for the season ender on this show, they don't fool around. A few months later the Sandy Hook massacre happens.Veronica: 'So apparently, if you're handsome and famous enough, you can just lie under oath, and that's cool.' The experience leaves Sedaris cold (although Lisa displays natural aptitude). He describes a visit years ago to a shooting range with his sister Lisa, who decides on a whim they should learn how to use guns. The book’s first essay, “Active Shooter,” is certainly more timely than Sedaris might have hoped. Seeing Hugh’s sorrow, though, is “When you realize you’d give anything to make that other person stop hurting, if only so he can tear your head off again.” Sedaris, raised in hurricane country, isn’t much surprised. But it turns poignant when the Sea Section, the vacation home on Emerald Isle, North Carolina, they all share, is destroyed by Hurricane Florence. The first part of “Hurricane Season” is a funny account of his relationship with Hugh and the bickering between Hugh and the Sedaris family. He writes about other kinds of loss as well.

Lou was a character, Sedaris realizes, but that’s what created the tight bond among his children - having to deal with him. They have to tackle the condition of their childhood home, where Lou has been hoarding for several decades - his clothes, some so old they’re rotting, “filled seven large closets, one of them a walk-in, and hung off the shower-curtain rods in all three bathrooms.” Some of the essays reveal less than wonderful details about Lou, like his sometimes cruel or creepy behavior toward his kids.
