The will

RA's gonna be a problem.

While he was accusing Charley of making everything about herself, it's all he was doing. He's such a f____ baby. He annoyed the crap out of me in last night's episode.

But I don't see how whatever he does with the farm will hurt Charley down the line. If her plan works out, she'll process everyone else's crop. If RA still chooses to use refrigeration trucks and haul his crop hours away when he could save by using his sister's mill, that's his stupidity and idiotic pride. I just hope he'll man up and pay Charley back all the money she's invested in his farm.

If she doesn't get the mill operating on, RA devised a great Plan B for his and their neighbors' crops.

Regarding "the will": It was a beautiful letter from father to troubled son. I hope it helps RA with his self worth and he gains a strong appreciation for the land. I just wish Ernest had left everything to Blue.




Some have such a low esteem they create reasons to hate everyone else.

But RA can't do anything with the farm without Charlie's money. I don't think she'll give up her portion without him paying her back everything she's already spent. That's gonna be a real issues next season

It's all BS anyway. There is no way that will holds in court so Boohoo, I mean Ralph Angel, had better pray his sisters don't drop him like the little bitch he is.
He can't do nothing without Charley's money and he doesn't even care about the land, he just wants to be the one who saves the day, like a 5 year old playing Batman.

He didn't expect to die! He also didn't think Charley would return home or that Nova would involve herself with the farm.

So he assumed Ralph Angel would clear out his farm house to sell it, which would have him finding the box. I think he was hoping the revised document will give RA a chance to start afresh. He thought Charley was happy as the manager and wife of a basketball star, and Nova as an investigative journalist.

It's also worth remembering that he did notice RA's attempt to turn his life around. Like getting a job, looking after Blue and the like. He also noticed RA's lack of confidence, especially during their conversation outside the farm (the scene where Blue played in a field while they were walking with Prosper). I'm pretty sure this is what prompted him to write the letter.

And will there be a power struggle between him and Charley?

Sadly, this aspect of the story was very realistic. Parents often make these unfortunate errors in judgement. In this case, the father thought Ralph Angell needed the farm as an inheritance more than Charley and Nova.

But given RA's background, a wiser parent would have built-in a fail-safe mode. Their father should have left the farm as a split this way 50% RA, and the other 50% divided equally between the 2 sisters.

This way, Ralph Angell would have had the larger share, and more negotiating power to get at least one of the sisters to go along with his desire or pov for the farm. The 2 sisters, by pooling their shares, can at least forestall any disastrous decisions on RA's part. This at least compels him to stop and think through any decisions.


Charley, rightly or wrongly, has invested a great deal of her own money. She should not have done that, but nonetheless she has. Basically, she has invested and owns nothing. I think a court would definitely take that into consideration. If RA cannot repay Charley to get her out, he would have to pay her in shares for the farm. It's all the assets he has. So he is going to have to make a deal with her at the very least.

That leaves poor Nova out in the cold unless RA divides it up the way it should have been in the first place, 25% between the two. Although, I doubt Charley would go for that, an equal share with Nova. Knowing Charley, she would play hard ball to get a larger share. About the best Charley can hope for, IMO, is forcing RA to a 40% split between her and RA leaving 20% to Nova.

Charley is not going to own more than RA. If RA is smart, he would force Charley to accept a 30% share with Nova getting 20% and leaving him with 50% of the farm.

The last thing RA should want to happen is for Charley to force him through legal channels to sell the farm. Considering that rich family in the county wants it, with their political connections, it's no stretch to believe that a judge could be manipulated into forcing him to take the best offer.

That's why the family needs to sit down and work this out.

So there are a couple things I have a problem with...

If I'm not mistaken...the will was read to them by a professional...most likely his lawyer...they always have the most updated version of the will because copies can be misplaced or lost. So I highly doubt that the will/letter that RA read is the true will. Maybe at one point in time but now not anymore. But I could still see how RA may still try to use that to his advantage...originally he wanted RA to have the farm but then thought otherwise to include the girls.

Also....this whole mill thing gives me a strong side eye. It is clear the Landry's (I can't spell the B name and won't embarrass myself trying to lol) are a force to be reckoned with. Charley is a fool if she thinks that plan was gping to work out. Even if she buys the mill (which will p*ss them off even more since they already bid on it) and gets it working I'm record time...all it takes is for one or a few men to come by in the middle of the night, wreck ish up and then hers and everyone else's crop is damaged for good.

RA's plan is risky but you could be looking at a small lost than losing the entire crop.

I'm really surprised at Charley I get that being a businessperson you have to be cutthroat at times but they've painted her in too much of an angelic way...she's risking her family and possible relationship with Remy with a plan that will most likely fail. Yet she can donate a million to SWAP in an ex prostitute's name.... -_-
