Perhaps too much damage has already been done.
Words cant be unsaid, you know?
Lydia thinks they should open up Jacobs autopsy.
Maybe an answer about the bullet discrepancy is in there, just waiting to be found.
He is so scared of losing the rest of his family.
Thats always been his way of operating, right?
Cover up the mess and move on to keep everyone safe.
Lydia now sees that this is all really a way for him to pretend that night never happened.
Its like hes erasing their son so that he doesnt have to feel the pain.
But she doesnt want to let that awful night replace all of the good memories theyve had.
She cant live that way, and so she cant live with him.
Instead, he heads over to Mikeys place.
Its kind of nice that he gets a fairly happy ending, considering … everything.
He couldnt be reminded of it all.
(So like Paul, right?)
Meanwhile, Lydia decides to go through with getting the autopsy unsealed.
She learns, however, that her lawyer picked up the documents the day before.
This comes as a huge surprise, since Lydia doesnt have a lawyer.
When Lydia shakily holds up her own gun, Leslie confirms that hers is a 9-mm.
that was not the gun that killed Jacob.
Lydia sobs in relief.
The doorbell rings and she finds Margo standing there, practically pushing Harper inside.
As you may recall, Margo had kidnapped her stepdaughter to threaten JD.
She demands he give her the house in exchange for Harpers whereabouts.
Oh, shes going to get everything she ever wanted, all right.
It is a relief, to say the absolute least.
Maybe now these people can start living their lives again.
First, of course, they want to figure out what really happened that night.
She tells her that they could go play Jacobs keyboard if she wants.
But why would she want to do that?
She doesnt know how to play.
The Morgans are confused: Harper was getting piano lessons from Jacob for a year.
But Harper tells them theyve got it wrong.
She had one lesson with Jacob, and then he just started coming over to hang out with Margo.
Just when you think Margo couldnt get any more depraved!
She had some kind of affair with this teenage kid.
you could see Margo cycling through all of her old tricks.
Then, she blames her: Lydia didnt even know that her own son was robbing peoples homes.
Youre just a fucking pathetic nobody with a dark soul.
And bad fucking taste!
Its like a fucking Vegas brothel in here!
she yells at her as she leaves.
No one has ever read her for absolute filth like that.
Back at the Morgans, Paul is upset to learn that Lydia wouldve confronted someone so dangerous.
But she blows by him she doesnt need him to protect her, and she is calling her lawyer.
Still, a despondent Paul winds up in his sons room talking to that light.
Lydia is standing at the door.
All she wanted to hear was that Paul still loved her.
She freaks out, realizing this kid could blow up her whole life.
When Margo comes out of that memory, the bathroom is full of smoke.
(And, yes, they are going to take care of the Mandarin tree.)
JD finally got that gig in theYellowstoneuniverse on a show calledTeton Territory.
We find the Morgans at another one of Emilys shows.
This time, shes singing a song she wrote using Jacobs music, and Lydia is joining her onstage.
Hi, he says, echoing Lydia the first time she noticed the flicker.
Jacobs there, too.
