Yet I do feel that his departure through the hands of a woman he did not molest but provokes in words (taking her and other women for granted) is a rather clever way for him to go. It just feels to me that the team of writers had to draw straws to decide which cast member should play a villain and Terence simply raised his hand and stated ”oh shucks, I’ve got broad shoulders and can handle it.” Not that such a trait in the performance is necessary, but it does help. Terence is way too mild mannered in his personality and lacks much of the malice factor required. Personally I don’t feel that the Peter White the character matches up all that well with Terence Knox the actor playing him. Donald Westphall (Ed Flanders) that Peter used to be a ”good person.”

After he does go, his wife meets the killer without realizing it in the hospital chapel memorial service for him, but nothing is developed here beyond Shirley’s fleeting “I’m sorry” statement that reveals nothing. He survives the shooting, but only temporarily. White is important here, as we will discover in the next episode.
