Given how Bonnie is still basically Bonnie, I would have liked to see the final episode be Christy finally going to alanon, but we know that she has already been, and with Bonnie there of all people. Bonnie is one of those people I see who is pretty much in revolving door mode given that very few of her character defects have been addressed or altered. As Marjorie would say, Bonnie carries the mess, not the message. So a series finale with Bonnie not, say, getting what she deserves, but rather suffering the consequences of not doing the work, would be fitting. I thought she got off her last DUI pretty easily, so maybe this time it will be attached to vehicular manslaughter, or perhaps an accident where Roscoe is seriously injured. We got to see a little bit of tough love from Christy when she let Bonnie spend the night in jail. Perhaps the next time it will need to have a more firm boundary attached to it after Bonnie tries to joke it off.
I knew a local guy like Bonnie who never took the program seriously and was in and out for years until he had an accident in which an item in his truck came through the back window and put him in a wheelchair for life. I always tell sponsees that they can learn from the mistakes of others, or they can go back out and learn from their own. I think the most dangerous thoughts and words are those along the lines of "if it gets bad enough, I'll just come back in." That statement in and of itself predicts a relapse because the individual uttering it either does not understand the concept of powerlessness or hasn't yet surrendered.
