"Send the usual condolences" sounds a lot like "arrest the usual suspects," doesn't it?
I think it was The Onion that offered a pre-made Memorial consisting of a flower garland with a ribbon that could be quickly "personalized" with a pre-printed sentiment- "Forever in Our Hearts," "With Prayers," etc. etc. The creepy thing is that it would probably sell quite well if it were real. And cheap. Just thoughts and prayers are for the super-cheap who want to virtue-signal, but a pre-made memorial would be popular for those of means who want to ramp up the Look How Much I Care Quotient.

All it means is that she will continue to allow Gordon to spend time with Michael, so she is not going to get any flack from Michael. However, telling Gordon's parents means that she is also extracting her revenge against Gordon. The surprising part is that Michael is not intervening on Gordon's behalf with a line like, "His parents will beat him, if you tell them. Maybe Gordon can be punished in some other way."

Gordon's parents have redeemed themselves by attending AA meetings and now they are involved in their grandchildren's lives.
I guess that's a nice way of saying that ( ... )

Or when it became obvious that her children think she's the mean old witch that she thinks Marian was. You have to remember that she wants them to be so afraid of her that they don't dare anger, disappoint or embarrass her while also being seen as lovable. fair and kind.

Deep down, she wishes that she could have done that to April.

Is Gordon hauling a KEG while talking about wanting his parents to show up sober?

It looks like he is locking the keg behind the gate so his parents won't get to it.
