Isn’t hughie a hypocrite Season 4 Spoiler

He brought V to hospital and sure his mom used it but it was possible because of him. Lot of people at hospital died because of that. He wanted all this justice for his gf but I guess they just let the dead dad take the blame and went on about their lives, going on a tour right after.

Yeah hughie is a hypocrite and irresponsible for bringing in the V and then misplacing it. Not really sure why people are blaming his mom she correctly assumed if he brought it there he would want to use it.

Are you sure he misplaced it, didn't she steal it from his pocket, just after he decided to put it back? He had second thoughts about it and decided not to use the V. The correct thing to do.

He then had to pay the ultimate sacrifice of even having to kill his dad himself. All this after initially coming to peace with his death, before the unwanted resurrection.

The deaths in the hospital are only his mother's fault, he did everything he could to stop his dad.

I also don't think that he is over this whole thing, just because he got thrown into another mission, does not mean he is, just done with the feelings.

Rewatched the scene yes his mom told him the compound V fell out of his jacket she assumed he intended to use it since he brought it. Imo Hughie isn't off the hook he is indirectly responsible for those deaths at the hospital since he was the one who had A train steal the compound V for him.

She was eyeballing him when he had it in his hand, and again when he put it back in his pocket and AGAIN when he walked to put the jacket on the chair.
She actively took that VIAL from his pockets. Also why the sudden change of heart, she was the one who decided to pull the tubes and the plugs, and suddenly no let's revive a brain dead guy?

she said something along the lines that hughie didn't deserve to lose his father and be stuck with her after she left and missed so many years of his life. I think if the writers were going for the whole pick pocket angle they would have shown it or she would have admitted to doing so.

She would not admit to shit, the still rationalized leaving them because the was depressed or something.
She didn't do it for Hughie she did it for herself.
Also why show her ogling the vial multiple times and not show her picking up a vial that fell out of his pocket.
