Casual 2.13

The Great Unknown

- Alex and Val's father is suffering from serious internal organ failure and has decided to end his life; his wife, their mother, can't deal with it so she is nowhere to be found
- Val ponders what to do next while Leon helps her get her car back; should she try to get back together with Drew, it doesn't seem like a realistic option if for no other reason then because he's remarried; she ultimately decided that she needs to move out and stop living with her brother
- Laura ponders why she feels the way she does about Spencer and his miraculous recovery while trying to pick up the prescription that her grandfather plans to take to end his life; ultimately she seems to find something to latch on to that allows her to feel better about herself despite the fact that she wasn't ready for Spencer to recover
- Alex isn't prepared to experience his father's death in his house; at first he doesn't even want to talk to him; after a little nudge from Lisa, Alex starts talking to him although it isn't clear exactly what he gets from the experience
- after the drugs are obtained; Val, Jack, and Laura jointly prepare the cocktail that will end their grand/father's life

- it was a very emotion filled episode, in large part because of the central theme
- it will be interesting to see where the show goes in the third season
- I have yet to lose interest in watching Casual, even though or possibly because it it a difficult show to classify
