'Friday Night Lights' Fan Columnist: Mr. Reliable Crumbles

Friday-night-lights-swerve.jpgJust when we were getting lulled into the old drama/game/drama rhythm, FNL goes and shakes things up. In this scary episode, Eric phases from "kingmaker," which is splashed across the cover of a glossy magazine and used by his team to gently mock him, to a tyrant who has lost control of his dominion. 

The most shocking moment in "Swerve" comes not when Vince is threatened by a menacing guy to pay back a loan for his mom's rehab, but when Eric violently wrestles Julie toward her car to force her to return to the university, where she lost any shred of dignity. Julie knew she'd have to face some consequences at home, but clearly she didn't expect that both her parents would not find a way to forgive her after a few days of letting the news sink in. She's faced with two dark paths and makes yet another bad decision by swerving her car on purpose to avoid returning to school. Eric's baffled at how they could have raised a homewrecker, telling Tami that Julie was a stranger to him. The perfect Taylor household has crumbled around them. (Although Gracie's holding down her end of the deal so far.)
