Short summary

Iraqi War veteran Paul Ronald Duncan receives a euthanasia in the hospital - and Claire, on drugs, takes out her own loss on the family by denouncing the war in general but also them for letting their son serve. Later, after several days of drinking, she is fired and fights Ted for taking her keys, then later crashes her car by trying to avoid hitting a deer when going to visit the family's newest grave. David can't find a way to express his feelings so colorfully, so is still plagued by nightmares and daydreams 6 weeks after the funeral, mostly involving an orange-hooded figure resembling his attacker. When reports come out that a similarly-clad child-killer is loose, David becomes increasingly worried about the boys, troubling his family enough to have Keith suggest he leave until he's calmed down. He's too distracted to talk business yet, so Rico begins to plan ahead for himself at Vanessa's advice, finds an available spot, and learns she's a natural when it comes to consoling ...

Amy Spanger, who plays the dead soldier's sister, was Michael C. Hall's wife at the time.

When David, Keith and the kids are eating, David's hand cramps up when he starts getting angry. This is a sign of peripheral nerve disease and is triggered by trauma - a sure sign of the return of David's post-traumatic stress disorder.

As the series moves to its conclusion, this episode sees the demise of Claire's iconic green Cadillac hearse.

This episode takes place 6 weeks after Nate's death.
