This is a season of redemption.

Ted overcomes his drug addiction. He learns to recover from his failures, manages to get a job to support himself, rekindles his relationships with his friends, and most importantly, apologizes to and is forgiven by his best friend Emmett.

Justin learns to face and conquer his fears. He learns about forgiveness and what true justice means.

Deb learns to live for herself after Vic’s passing. She discovers that the meaning of her life extends beyond just taking care of Vic.

Brian learns to accept his imperfections and aging. Despite battling cancer, he still manages to complete the Liberty Ride.

I believe Mel is completely justified in not forgiving Lindsay. Lindsay’s affair and her attitude of “Well, I still choose you. Be grateful,” are infuriating.

What is also frustrating is that the married couple, Ben and Michael, cannot cross the border as a family, which is still the situation in China.
