Though there are a few side stories being advanced, this episode is depressing. Ray has become a snitch by getting the cops to bust Corky, and he's a killer-for-hire since coming to work for Sam, still, it's depressing to see how his kids treat him and how he still just uses Lena without regard for her as a human being.
The storyline wouldn't be disturbed at all if this episode was deleted. Conor is Special Ed level stupid and is a superfluous character in the series at this point. He could be just a name that they mention from time to time: "Conor's in the marines, y'know". That's as much mention as has to be made for a character that should be dropped.
This episode is about Ray's guilt over having raised a moron with a 75IQ, as far as I can tell. Conor acts like a freshman in high school, "None of the other dads are coming to see the plane off". What man in the Marine Corps would say this to his father?
If I rewatch this season, I'll skip this episode.
