Fate can be cruelly ironic that way.
That title once meant something.
Leaving him with nothing is how traditional tragedies like this one end.
And to Hartstones credit, the shows narrative engine revs up quickly.
Adams death may have closed out Michaels piece of the narrative, but it made everyone elses lives messier.
Big Mo had been protecting Eugene, but now the situation is more complicated.
As for poor Michael, he has nothing to live for.
His son is dead.
He has been imprisoned and disbarred for his actions.
Hes there for the horns.
(Believe it or not,this barbaric event is realat the Angela Prison Rodeo in Louisiana.)
Perhaps peace will elude Michael forever, but a measure of redemption is possible.
The two end up making an arrangement: Mo wont kill Carlo if Jimmy leaves Eugene alone.
Thats a tenuous truce at best.
In perhaps the most intriguing development so far, it turns out that Michael is a grandfather.
Before Adam kicked the bucket, he apparently got Baxters daughter, Sofia (Lilli Kay), pregnant.
Now shes starting to ask questions about her own family that she wasnt willing to pose.
(Hence the name Sofia, or is that just a coincidence?)

Theres apparently a waiting list for inmates willing to risk their necks for this relative pittance.
