Eli McCullough (played by Pierce Brosnan) has had enough of Standard Oil. In The Son season 2 episode 7, which airs on Saturday, June 8, at 9:00 p.m. on AMC, he'll no longer take the diplomatic route so he'll square off with his enemies.
The preview for The Son season 2 episode 7 shows Eli firing off a gun directed at another person in a room, as his fight with the company has come to a head. However, the episode synopsis also suggests that Eli could end up victorious over this attempt.
The Son season 2 episode 7 is almost close to the show's end, and Eli is eager to take his power back. With a few episodes remaining until the end of the series, expectations are high for the show to wrap up its storylines quite appropriately.
Meanwhile, The Son season 2 episode 6, which aired last June 1, introduced a new period that further explained the psyche and vulnerability of Eli. This installment opened with the 1850s timeline that showed how Ulises Gonzales (played by Alex Hernandez) discovered the Garcia family burial ground at the McCullough property.
The Garcias have long been fighting for this land, which they claimed was stolen from their family. This rift between the two clans brought repercussions to the modern timeline in The Son season 2 episode 6, with Standard Oil standing behind the Garcias.
Additionally, The Son season 2 episode 6 unveiled an arc involving Phineas's (played by David Wilson Barne) closeted gay storyline. Told that he no longer enjoys an entitled life because of the discovery of his secret, Phineas broke down in front of his family.
Meanwhile, Eli held his ground despite his son being outed and socially outcasted in public. The final minutes of The Son season 2 episode 6 depicted a flashback that showed how Ingrid (played by Kathryn Prescott) had a strong influence in Eli's young life.
She told a young Eli of a story involving a witch, a young man, and a blue light. It was a reflection of Eli's adult life as an angry but needy man.
The Son season 2 is setting up the endgame for this captivating series. It will, however, be finite, regardless of where it goes, as AMC announced in February that The Son season 2 would be its last offering.
