Breaking the Rules

While having lunch with his buddy on a building under construction, a worker accidentally drops his metal pan for carrying food on the head of the pedestrian Dwight Edgar Garrison and kills him. The widow and Dwight's two daughters have a serious altercation at Fisher's Home because of the last wish of Dwight of being buried side-by-side with his former wife and mother of his daughters. Brenda and Nate watch the sunset at the shore, and Nate questions Brenda if she really wants to marry him for love. Nate invites David to be his best man and meets Lisa by chance in the supermarket, and she discloses that she is five months pregnant of him, and Nate faces a dilemma. Brenda has casual sex with a stranger in the bathroom of a bookstore and tells Melissa later. Karla drugs herself again, and Keith convinces her to go to a clinic for treatment. Ruth finds that Nikolai actually owes money to a dangerous Yuri. Claire meets Billy and sees how deranged he still is.

In this episode we see again how dysfunctional and unstable Brenda is, now being sexually driven by wild sex with strangers. The toxic relationship of Billy and Claire will certainly lead these disturbed characters to some unusual situation. I believe the baby of Lisa plus the weird behavior of Brenda will lead Nate to some decision. The situation between Nikolai and Yuri will certainly Ruth to take a decision. My vote is seven.
