The title of this week’s episode couldn’t be any more apt. Not only does Big Foster and Asa’s drinking game lead them into a wrecking contest with the coal company’s vehicles, but the “war” between One Planet Resources and the Farrell’s steps up considerably. It’s inevitable that someone is going to be taken out of the running before too long, I’m not sure that everyone has the balls to see this fight through to the end.
Wade continues to be a conundrum; as a viewer, he is a wonderfully compelling character even though as a person he is turning out to be an appalling human being at times. His life has been a puzzle from the start, and even with the information that we now know there still seems to be many secrets that surround him. With his new job he is going to find that there come big responsibilities, ones which shouldn’t impact on his life at home with Caleb if he would be a responsible father. Be as that may, I’m sure you all know that the inevitable will happen, and it will kick-start even more questions about the history this dysfunctional family.
His sister, Ledda, appears to be far better well-adjusted despite the similar upbringing and complications in her marriage. (As an aside, I’m finding it difficult to chastise her for the flirting with Asa last week. I loved hearing how she described the mountain; she sounds as though she would fit right in up there if things were different.) Her husband also starts his new position as the Community Liaison Manager, he has a desk and a computer to go with his new truck, but there’s not a great deal more to his job than that. Haylie will have her plans for him, no doubt, but for now, he is more or less happy to be taking home a paycheck.
