An outstanding season 6 finale tonight for Ray Donovan, in which just about everybody gets their just deserts, except, maybe, one.
I won't go over the body toll, in case you haven't seen this episode yet. I will say it was good to see them go.
The one ambiguous note was a biggie. After Ray gets Bunch out of custody, Bunch tells Mick that although Ray made some deal to get Bunch free, Ray couldn't make that deal for both of them. The big implication is that Mick will have to turn himself in, after all.
But there's also a big question mark hanging over that. Why didn't Ray tell Mick that Mick had to turn himself in? Why didn't Ray take Mick to the police himself? Why did they let Ray take Bunch away, without Mick right there for the exchange?
All of which leads me to think there's something more going on. I think we haven't seen the last of Mick, and we're not going to see him in prison again. The snow falling, the remembrance of James Joyce past, all speak to something else.
Whatever that is, we should be in for another excellent season next time around. Ray's seeking help. Lena has gotten her revenge and should be up for working for Ray again. Bridge has really come into her own. And as I've been saying for weeks, Mick has come into his own in this story, too - with an astonishingly good performance by Jon Voight. Mick's finally acting like a father - to all of his children. He says all the right things, and they're truthful, to his kids. There's nothing in this show like seeing all of the Donovans together. Even if Ray intended to bring Mick in, I'm thinking that snow changed his mind.
Yeah, there's nothing like the Donovans all together, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of that next season.

It started in the hot summer of 1960, when Marilyn Monroe walked off the set of The Misfits and began to hear a haunting song in her head, "Goodbye Norma Jean" ...
