>>110938861>>110938865Ryan would be in deep shit regardless, as instead of leaving Joyce's attack and resulting trauma a realistic outcome to a genuinely bad, albeit understandable, call on her part was too much and he needed Amber have emotional catharsis for what happened to Joyce (yes, Willis actually managed to fridge Joyce) and to resolve things neatly so he had Ryan show up with a knife threatening to kill Dorothy and Joyce.
Toedad could have realistically gotten out on bail, it'd just be a huge amount and he'd be under house arrest. Looking into it, most of what he did would at worst be considered low-level felonies in Indiana, with the false imprisonment charge for grabbing Becky accounting for most of the potential prison time in front of him.
>>110938866There isn't a single relationship in the series that has lasted for longer than 6 weeks. Ruth/Billie is the longest, IIRC, followed by Becky/Dina. The Jacob/Raidah and Walky/Dorothy lasted maybe about a month tops, and the Danny/Ethan drama is maybe about 2 weeks old.
>>110938882Don't forget the political drama currently revolves around a straight, white guy running an anti-gay campaign against a Hispanic woman, and the Hispanic woman is supposed to be in the wrong.
