Episode 5 is a violent banger!  Mike has a really scary incident of brain damage seizure, and could have killed both himself and Kath, though he finally comes out of his lack of memory and automatic violence to let her go.  Poor Kath!  She has to tell him she is pregnant, and he seems happy at the idea.  But during one of his roughneck assignments he vandalizes a beautiful suburban home for Freddie and likes the place so much he wants to buy it!  I am surprised that the bank would tell the realtor who Mike really is!  Around my town, the banks have long served as money laundering places, by selling prime real estate to drug dealers, both here and along the beautiful coast, especially on our barrier islands.  But that is aside!  Mike sees only the lovely house, polished and beautiful, and the manicured yard with lush grass and flower beds, and he sees his Kath in that setting.  But Kath is not exactly convinced.  She is facing the reality of who she and Mike really are! 

The best part of this episode for me was when MamaCaffee took poor Colin to meet his father, Judd, the once-powerful politico on The Hill, but now reduced by age and illness to a chair-bound cripple who hardly knows who or where he is, let alone who Colin or his mother might be!  Rose was probably only doing it to hurt Judd's mean wife, but it was still a good thing to do.  The scene where Colin understands the condition of the father he has sought for many years is excellent.
