He hallucinated at the beginning of the first ep,couldn't drive. It was still there. When he realized he was dresing and just realized the time it was pretty evident he was gonna die at that point. Especially with him and Joe getting along so well.....his death will really run the story full hilt now though. I'm sure Scoot will be in flashbacks to get him in at least another episode. If this had happened last season I would have been pissed. But the show is ending so it's not that painful. Maybe Cameron will expand her horizons now and let this lead her into medical programing......

Why?

Because in S3 they dwelled on it in every episode, and everyone saw the pain and the incidents suffered repeatedly by Gordon.

In S4, it essentially became non-existent until he died.

Really bad continuity by the HACF writers.

Baloney. He couldn't drive. He hallucinated the first episode, they showed his journals etc. Really bad viewer actually...lol

It was not obvious he hallucinated in that first scene in S4E1.
When he burned his journals, I thought it was because Katie brought them up & he didn't want her to think he was sick anymore because he wanted a relationship with her.
He drove Donna home when she got her DUI.

The writers had a continuity problem or what I call the moving of time, character and plot development and it was worse this last season. They had too much to do in a short period of time, but then for some plots, they wasted time.
