It is remarkable how the show has transformed from being the Kane family saga to the Wilder/Jet family drama. I have to say that the writers have done a fairly good job of transitioning from what the series started out to be to what it is now.
I'm glad the writers found a way to make Alice relevant and keep the character around.
Alice may be a psychopath, but I love watching her batshit craziness. And Alice has, for the most part, provided decent comic relief this season. It appears that she has found a new partner in crime, Mary/Ivy. I am curious to see how that plays out, but it does look like fun times ahead.
