Well, the ending of the fourth season brought a massive conflict between the boys. The heartbreaking episode revolves around Deran, and Adrian’s story with a never saw twist.

But, Angela’s big confession at the end calms everyone’s nerves. Well, it seems like the show can continue without Ellen Barkin. Further, J eventually joined his uncles at Casa Cody, where he suggested J to hold a memorial for Smurf to tell people that they are still in the business. But, who would handle it, is still a mystery.

But, it seems that his promise could break soon. Jake tried to convince Craig that he’s his father in the Smurf memorial.
