That is what I thought. As for the boy who got shot, what did he mean when he told Taylor that he better not have told them anything?

Yes, then again all these kids growl the same so I could be wrong. lOL.

Have to say, It's really, tough watching Taylor, struggle as he is, for a minute I was even more disheartened when I thought he turned the gun on himself out in the woods, but from the start I felt he was going after someone and my first thought he would go right where he did go to get that gun. Guess they did decide to add one more stoy into the fold school shooting, oh wait bullying. As I said before I wondering if the Columbine ESC move iwas 2bere they have been leading all along or are they making it up little at a time.

PS I'm as confused where they're going with this story as the next person,wasn't all that thrilled with what they did with the previous season, seems they do have a way of doing things so not to expect this all to wrap up nicely by shows end

This is definitely not a feel-good series, in fact I don't think there's a single character on the show that is happy at all. When Taylor took the gun into the woods and we heard the gunshot, that was a really disturbing moment, and I really thought he had killed himself! Then when he started taking more drugs, his hallucinations turned into almost like a poetic daydream or something. It seemed very surreal.

I'm not sure how the next few episodes will play out, but I must say that John Ridley knows how to make things interesting. After shooting Wes, Taylor will either be sent to prison, commit suicide, or be murdered, I don't see a happy ending in this at all.

My bad, I thought it was some random kid.

I wondered about the threat, too. I also wonder why Kevin's name was on the list. At first I thought it was because Kevin instigated the beat-down, then I realized that Taylor could not have known that.

It is looking like he had more to do with it than previously thought.

I thought the kid he shot was in one of Taylor's flashbacks and maybe they had a brief relationship or one incident? That was what the don't tell anyone was about? He may have also been one of the ones who beat him up. Finally find out what the daughter's secret is she's the drug supplier apparently some of it from her Mom's stash.

Wes was one of the basketball players who beat Taylor up. I thought that was what Wes meant when he threatened to kill Taylor.

Rewatched it I'm sure you're right. Kevin was also on the list don't know what he did to Taylor but will probably come out next week.

There's no excuse for him shooting Wes but the story does show how a young man can be pushed to his limit I don't think he planned to shoot him at that time it just was a reaction when he threatened him. I think his first victim was going to be the principal but she luckily was not there. Also showed how easy access to a gun is so dangerous.

Wes threatened twice to kill Taylor, after beating the **** out of him the night before. Who's to say Wes wouldn't have knifed Taylor then and there? A good lawyer could make the case that Taylor thought he was acting out of self-defense, given that Wes threatened not once, but twice, "I will kill you." I certainly understand Taylor's wanting to carry a gun after what just happened to him.

Frankly, I would probably have cheered inside if Taylor had shot all of them. They're thugs, worth nothing as human beings. The only thing that would bother me is that Taylor would have to do jail time.
