I was still sold on giving him another chance until we got more information during day 8 part 1. I wanted him to turn out to be a good guy, and I still thought there was a chance until you actually heard what he was doing inside. Now I don't know if that was him trying to prevent people from going out there so they don't get hurt or if he was just being Ryker's goon. In the back of my head I still think there is a path to forgiveness, but until I see more information about what was doing I can't make a real decision. I know my opinion is very unpopular on this matter of giving him another chance.I think alot of people we're going to give Damien the benefit of the doubt until the day 7 finale played out. But it's hard to side with him after that. Still interested to see how his story plays out, but I was mostly wary of him the first week. I still wanted him to somehow redeem himself after he lead the MC into the Ryker situation at the house. Kimmy definitely didn't need that drama, and Ryker was just starting to show his sinister machinations then. Damien seemed like an unwitting pawn, due to his poor circumstances. He had my sympathy for his sick parent, and depending on the MC plathru his cheating either clashes with the MC personality or is akin to it. I just want to see his conclusion now and hope for some vindication or resolution from him.
Ok let me break things down a little on why I am torn, and then you all can rip me a new one afterwards. Ok we know like the MC, Damien is trying to do whatever possible to keep his family safe. Is it the best choice no, but he decided protecting the ones he loves was more important than his dumb actions. Hmmm sounds familiar to me I wonder why that is. Oh yeah the MC did the same thing he decided to protect the ones he loves and cares about by jumping into a fight where the odds are stacked against him. Now you can argue this is not the same thing, as what Damien did but both actions were dumb. MC admitted it to Skye and she forgave him, why can't Damien do the same thing?
Ok tell me what he did then: Well he spied on the MC for Ryker (so did Wendy and no one is going after her granted she kept the information to her self at least that is what we are led to believe). Did he actually hit anyone during the bowling event brawl in the back alley? (I did not see him hit anyone, but he did try to get the MC to leave without violence). But Loco what about inside the bowling alley, hell I don't know exactly what he did in there and neither do any of you. Was he trying to protect the team by not letting them outside or was he actually fighting them to protect Ryker? We don't know. Now don't get all high and mighty on me and say he should have helped the MC and fought Ryker and the thugs. If someone is paying your bills why would you attack them? To do the right thing you say well what is the right thing protect your family or protect someone you have known for less than a week? Would you save me or a loved one if it came down to it? I bet 99.9% of you would pick a loved one over me, and if you didn't your lying to yourself.
Now what else could be going on here that we don't know about. Well Gorg is a wild card here, we thought he was a hired thug by Ryker when it turns out he works for Belle. We really don't know why he went radio silent with Belle yet do we? We also don't know if Gorg and Damien are working together or not either. Let me present this to the court for evidence. Look at the damage done to the MC. Everything on the left side, where was Gorg during the fight on the MC right side hmm that is odd isn't it. Oh wait who was holding the MC down when Ryker went after Harper with the bat wait was that Gorg again? Are you telling me that guy wouldn't be able to hold down the MC? I think Gorg and Damien did the minimum they could to help the MC without letting anything on to Ryker.
Now until I hear Damien's side or BD comes here himself and tells me Gorg and Damien are complete assholes and neither deserve another chance at anything I am still giving them the benefit of maybe just maybe they were trying to help in little ways.
I expect to be called an idiot or people saying this is all dumb and Damien is an asshole for not doing anything.
