That Stroud is a nasty piece of work isn't he? Killing Bonnie and Clyde okay, but he didn't have to kill the gas station owner too.
The final scene where Justin is checking out the maids butt and then she turns around and it's Sophie caught me completely off guard.

Does the awful family life of Felix and Rita Sue and Libby actually inform the larger story in any way? Because it doesn't seem to -- unlike anyone else's subplot -- and it takes up more screen time than all the rest of them combined.

(Sort of spoilery?) It connects more to the main story over the last few episodes of the series.
