[[WMG: Bill eventually becomes a cop and marries Bridgette]]
Corruption is why Bill left the junior officer program and Bridgette's insanity is why he left her. In the finale, the corrupt mayor is arrested and it's implied things will be cleaned up afterwards, and Bridgette is '''significantly''' less psychotic than her first appearance and is now friends with Maureen.

[[WMG: ''This'' will be Season 5's plot.]]
Frank's father is dead (and good riddance), and because of that, we get a funeral that brings Frank's mother and sister (who is an older Maureen to Frank's Bill/Kevin when he was growing up) into the picture. Sue never fixes things with Frank as she said she would.

Then we get nasty 3am wake ups that make both Frank and Sue neurotic and completely irritable where they actually regret what was obviously a doomed setup to begin with. In addition to Frank, Sue is particularly nasty to Bill and Maureen for being their normal selves and causing too much noise, complete with swearing at them and hitting them worse than what we saw in Season 2.

To top it off, the children are held accountable for anything that happens to the baby (who still doesn't have a name), while Frank and Sue deal with matters concerning his mother and sister, Frank's job situation with Mohican Airways, Sue feeling stressed and empty over wanting success and to finish college, and then their marriage after yet another nasty meltdown.

At this point, Sue has pretty much discarded Bill and Maureen as people, along with any of their personal problems, while Frank remains Frank. This leads Bill to go full 'hood and ensue in so many acts of delinquency that it would make Kevin or Jimmy Fitszimmons blush. He also gets in trouble with his parents for this, who don't even care why it happened in the first place, and dismiss him as a typical disciplinary issue.

Maureen however would just be a mixed bag in all this. As for Kevin, he screws up royally somewhere, to the point where Alice gets fed up and just breaks up with him. While all this is going on, the baby actually goes missing, leading everyone into a panic. Frank and Sue comedown royally hard on their children for letting this happen.

However, things work out somehow in the most outlandish ways when Frank's mother and sister get involved, along with other recurring problem/distraction characters who are continuously present in many random scenes. They eventually find the baby, and everything is suddenly okay (even though it isn't) where they can smile together as a family. Frank jumps through leaps and bounds to make Sue forgive him (while she herself contributes nothing), the baby eventually gets a name, and the season throws yet another unnecessary cliffhanger.



Let's look at the record. S1: Pogo/Dunbarton caused drama at home. S2: Scoop/Smokey caused drama at home. S3: Chet caused drama at home. S4. Big Bill caused drama at home. Frank apologizes, but Sue never shows effort on her part. And it's not like she hasn't gotten pissy with him over his job before. Might as well not be employed at all.

It's all the writers care about at this point for some reason, instead of redeeming these characters, even in the final season. Let's look at the record. S1: Pogo/Dunbarton caused drama at home.

Okay, now this is just a lot of complaining.


Except this one won't be resolved since Season 5 will be the final season to end the series, leaving virtually no time to tie up any loose ends or give us any long overdue heartwarming moments in places where they're needed. It's pointless to hope for good things in this show. The writers just don't care.

[[WMG: Season 5: Sue will get whatever she wants (throws a big enough tantrum about), and give back nothing in return, much less be there for anyone in her family when they're having a rough time.]]
Adding to this, the series finale will have Frank initiate the divorce against her (with Sue's parents naturally being hypocrites and trying to stop it because Frank is the one leaving Sue instead of the other way around) because actions like this.
adults.

[[WMG: With her pregnancy over, Sue will do something extremely special for the whole neighborhood (especially Frank and her children), to make up for her horrible behavior since Season 3, complete with a deep and heartfelt apology.]]
Ha! Yeah right! The writers are perfectly content with writing harsh and toxic BS. And this new baby alone will bring about every awful post-pregnancy cliche that they can churn out of this particular family.

With that said, this final season will go out with a bang the way the writers feel proud doing (based on their track record and taste).

[[WMG: Sue actually likes being a bitch.]]

Why else would she give fake insincere apologies, and treat both her husband and children like shit whenever she feels like it, even when they don't do anything to deserve it? Sue is a horrible person/character, and so many women aren't much better either.

[[WMG: Bill will meet a much better family and request to be adopted by them.]]

Please, just please writers! There's no hope for the Murphy family to ever redeem themselves. The family is filled with horrible shits that can't even be called a loving family, even if they don't start out that way.
