As I've said before I just want this to be over! However, this was the best episode so far this season IMO.
With regard to Abel, yeah the acting is cringe worthy and if it were me that cast him I would be embarrassed, but whatever, I don't think this show requires a great deal of "acting muscle".
Also- I noticed during the closing credits that Abel is played by identical twins (Evan and Ryder Londo) which will be interesting when the time comes to hand out Emmy awards!!
