eppes brothers

(S02E24) This was an extremely satisfying season finale. No bells and whistles. No ridiculous cliffhanger. Just the answers to a few lingering questions allowing us some closure and making it far easier for a new viewer to join-in (without too much catch-up) when season three rolls around.

The vast majority of the episode dealt with a 40-something momma's boy who had finally been cut off from the family trust fund by who else, his mother (in a nice turn by Olympia Dukakis). He didn't react too well. So he got a hold of his mother's valium and morphine (she had a hip replaced recently) and went around drugging and killing woman after he had his way with them. Like I said, he didn't react too well.

The rest of the episode (and it was far more interesting) dealt with the one character in this show who's frequently mentioned, yet we've never met: Margaret Eppes.
