Not just left that office, but kind of just walked quietly away ... from a man on fire in front of dozens of co-workers.
And I love that Violet blamed her father for putting her mother away. Uh, no, dear, that would have been you who lied by conceding to the police that your mother was, in fact, hallucinating when you knew she wasn't.
What of her decaying body in the crawl space? Set aside the flies, what about the stench? Who's not smelling that?!
I can't really say I'm enjoying this show much anymore. It's all about unrelenting misery without one single character to root for, save perhaps for Viv. I'd like to say I'm going to stop watching but I doubt it. I guess I'll keep having to wait for something--anything--positive to happen and then have to complain about it because the leap of logic the writing will force me to make to appreciate it will be too preposterous to bear.

Awww, poor Violet. So many other characters deserved it more. It puts a creepy spin on the season. I'm not sure I like it.
I agree that giving the dead so much power (to seem alive, to chat, to kill) doesn't make sense in the long run. Why didn't anyone else tell Violet she was dead? Did her parents not realize she was in the same clothes? Do the dead change clothes too? And if she was OD'ing, couldn't Tate have run to her parents to alert them? Not that it would've worked in time, but a quick "Call 911, Vi took pills!" and then a finger down her throat would probably have been my instinct. Or you know, I would've stood around, shocked, until she died.
Creepy reveal about Tate setting that guy on fire...but again, ENOUGH TATE. Christ. Why doesn't Lange get on his ass about showing up all the time?

The guy who plays Tate is a decent enough actor but I feel like a character who dresses up in a rubber suit, murders, rapes and sets people on fire should be scary not mopey and emo. Its hard to take him seriously as a bad guy when he looks like an extra from a Gus Van Sant movie.
Also boy Dahlia is the most ridiculous nickname ever.

Ben's going to have to put those lazy dead people to work. Even before Viv and Violet died, he bitched and moaned about how he "couldn't afford" that house. I mean, the dead aren't not doing anything around there except glomming off his wi-fi and drinking his wine. Do something zombie people! That house can't pay its own mortgage!

Unless he's planning on burying Connie in the back yard, how's he going to explain this whole mess to the authorities?
My wife died in a difficult home childbirth. Yeah, a ghost doctor from the previous century was assisting, but he couldn't save her.
The babies? Well, the doctor's wife has one of them, and there is a battle raging for baby ownership between the grandmother and the ghost of my crazy ex-mistress for the other one.
ETA: Yeah, they should put their useless ghost asses to work. They could have a sweet medical, dental and therapy clinic going on. Zachary Quinto's character could be an online decorating consultant, and he and his partner could rehab all the vintage furniture in the attic and basement and sell it on online. Hell, they could just start getting kick backs from the Murder Tour just for having a ghost appear in a window or on the front lawn when the bus rolls by.

I love the idea of a show centered around a ghost-run business.

The flashback at the beginning of the show included a tv playing a scene from "Newhart," a show that ended its run with the title character having dreamt the entire series. Add to that the scenes of Ben rocking in a corner crying "who are these people?," as if he was in a mental hospital makes me wonder...

If we can get around the somewhat "in stone" idea that the protagonists of a show should, well..... no all die... for the show to continue, then this would all make a weird kind of sense. They kill off the current family, and a new family moves in next season. With Ryan's love of a cast of thousands, he just keeps the body count going and going.
Unfortunately, the show will almost have to fall into a cartoonish, soap opera hole because what can you do when the audience starts to expect their favorite characters to die, but not really? It was a good/appalling story for two weeks with Violet's arc, "She's alive, no she's really rotting in the basement...". But now? It's becoming a joke.
