12C: "Other things may change us, but we start and end with the family." - Anthony Brandt
If you start and end with family then Lucas thinks this is fitting - him holding a gun to the man that never wanted him in the first place and took away the only father he’d ever had.
Everybody thinks he’s suffering some knock on effect from Keith’s death, he isn’t thinking straight but the truth is he’s the only one thinking straight, he’s the only one that knows the truth and nobody cares.
Jimmy killed Keith, it’s all he’s heard over and over again but it’s a lie. It’s a lie because Lucas knows it’s a lie, Abby told him as much. Dan shot Keith, he killed him, in cold blood and he has to pay for that.
Nobody sees what Lucas sees, nobody knows what he knows and even when he’s tried to tell them they haven’t believed him. What else is he supposed to do? There’s nothing else - this is the only way.
If life starts and ends with family then let this end with Dan, let his lies die with him.
Keith deserves better than this, he deserves more from everyone and Lucas doesn’t care if it means spending the rest of his life in jail, Dan shouldn’t be allowed to get away with killing Keith.
Most of all, he doesn’t deserve Lucas’ mom. She’s all Lucas has left and he’ll do whatever he has to, to protect her and if that means killing Dan with Debbie’s gun then so be it. It’ll be worth it.
Let this end where it all began, Lucas squeezes the trigger.
