ok, as i see my name have been mention in this discussion re did Ray SN. was abused toward his family and i`ll make one lat post on this subject. i know that we never will figure out what exactly happen in Y/Ray past and agree that this is big lost of possibility TPTB to make Miami again great show...but C'est La Vie ...for now searching&finding for more good and quality tv show is very good way we to survive (including this great thread and CSI Miami S 1-3)
why my opinion is stick on the fact that Ray was good man long time ago and don`t have been violator..uhhhh maybe i have been liveing in lie, but for me this is some kind of logic chronology:
1) Ray have to be 'good' in some points so Y to marry him. right ?!
2) Ray go to work Narcotics section, coz to prove something to his big bro
3) after this go undercover, maybe to run away from responsibility to be family head
4) become narcotic addicted - he is 'free' (no big bro and wife around him to look after him) and make big mistake. or maybe his difficult childhood make him easy prey for drugs (try to run away from dark shadows)
5) hi lose his way, too ashamed to go back in his house or too selfish coz this is the easy way to life day for day....and without warning one day he become and dirty cop.
6) he have relationship with Suzzy ... why ?! she is everything that Y is not (too opposed character ). if Ray is violator when his is under drugs, why he will search for new relationship ?! Suzzy is too honestly (for me), and she will tell H if Ray have become 'monster', if Y hide this info....
7) if Y was try to 'protect' H from the truth that his bro was abused .... in her will lie some kind of guilt, in meaning she won`t be feel comfortably to have secret form H. and after Y know about Suzzy and Madison her reaction toward 'betrayal' H won`t be so strong/over on the top. she in this case have to forgive H more easily, coz long time ago and she have do something like this..
upppsss, too long not connected thoughts. sorry guys. and in last place i agree that Ray is jerk and have screws up a lot times (re '10-7' or 'Rio'), so i won`t be surprise in the future if Y say that her hubby was violator a$$hole
