We know this isn’t going to turn out well, but it seems a little too easily worked out after the young McCullough decks him and takes off back home. Jeannie takes off with a traveling salesman after complaining that her family is all a bunch of liars. Jeannie is pretty sure she knows the truth of that.
His other son, Pete, didn’t get caught if he did, indeed, have an affair with Maria, a rumor that’s spread around town long before we actually see it happening tonight. Eli only got annoyed because Phineas got caught.
His annoyance is far more pragmatic, as it is with his gay eldest son. Sally ignored the music teacher’s balking at the location, and the audience knew it was going to turn out as it did. Her husband’s supposed affair is gossip around town and it drove Sally into the arms and bed of her son’s music teacher, who she tells that, while the McCullough family may have stolen the oil-rich property, she owns nothing. Sally’s under a lot of stress, her husband Pete (Henry Garrett) disappeared for a year with the María García (Paola Núñez), the daughter of the family who was killed for the oil under their property. This has been building over the past few episodes. She loses patience and tells her son, out of the blue, to clean his room because the lesson is over.
The episode opens on Sally McCullough (Jess Weixler) humming to herself while her son takes a piano lesson in another room. The series loses a major character, which we knew was coming, but even this is something of a respite from the intensity of the past few weeks. This is not to say it is lacking in danger or intensity, but it doesn’t have the immediacy of the running buildup. The Son, season 2, episode 8, “All Their Guilty Stains,” gives us something of a breather after a run of intensely perilous episodes.
