Another episode sustaining hate for M. Emmett Walsh's character, Tex, which is confusing because while it's bad what he did in the past, learned only in exposition, he's a really nice guy here on this show (plus he's M. Emmett Walsh). He never acts like a jerk and he seems happy to see at least his youngest great granddaughter...
But this is a calm AFTER the storm as the last episode was the best. Here the gears grind as we're heading towards the final scam, and this season is a kind of anti-con con-game, or something...
Most of the time's spent on the family situation to where when the wine thing rears its head, it seems a mere after-thought... Probably the weakest con in the entire series, but it's secondary... or actually, thirdary (yes, that's a word for today) as the middle-ground hints at a Breaking Bad style finale of the anti-heroic anti-hero possibly being brought down for good... But who wants that?
ADDED PS: One of the problems with this season, and why it turned out being the LAST, is, at this point, the entire show seems tired of its own scamming nature and is basically going in circles when it used to be a fantastic zig-zagging line, moving ahead. (Plus, Julia "Lizzie" Roberts tries way too hard for importance that frankly isn't earned since she's introduced late, late in this series... but she acts as if she's been here all along).
