Or France.
We had no hint that Kane knew the whole sordid life that Emma was leading, and who/what the BF was. Mayor Evel knows all again.I think Kane (and it is "Kane" not "Krane" brebeans, unless you are making a joke about KG's most famous character prior to this show) threw his daughter under the bus in part to get back at his wife for her disloyalty. I also think that he can "save" her by proving during her trial (with a little "help" from the Chicago legal community, nudge, nudge) that she was unwillingly caught up in the whole drug trafficking thing and is innocent of any wrongdoing. She is a minister, after all and only trying to help the poor of her ...
I'm pretty sure it was implied that it was known that the daughter is/was a junkie, and that that was the source of her being absent from her parent's lives (the gap he spent the early part of the show trying to bridge), I recall one of his enemies saying something like "we've got stuff on the daughter". I think it shows how deep the doodoo was that he was in, and how big of a rabbit he had to pull out of his hat to make the problems go away (or at least get off of the front page).We had no hint that Kane knew the whole sordid life that Emma was leading, and who/what the BF was.

We need some redeeming value in Mayor Kane. Can we hope that he really wanted to get Emma help?
I do know King Lear pretty well, and I can see the parallels. I believe the phrase you are looking for is "I am a man more sinned against than sinning"You don't keep a long term audience by having the lead be nothing but an all-knowing dark lord. Even JR and Tony Soprano had interesting character points.
I dunno from King Lear that this plot is based on. Short of reading a wikipedia synopsis, does this make sense? Does King Lear ever gain any sympathy?

Sure, we did. He went to visit her and witnessed drug activity and also her boyfriend.
My question, (and if the answer is yes, he's even more of a sleazebag) is, was his motivation to re-connect with his daughter solely to "use" her at some point? Given his character, I wouldn't put it past him, but yikes!
Also, I don't think (nor do I want) something redeeming about Mayor Kane. I would like to see a redeeming character, somewhere however! Do we know who it will be? Will it be anyone? Perhaps Ezra is a somewhat redeeming character....well, not really, but he does stay focused, is loyal and is clear about his allegiances. Not that his allegiances are to slimey people, but he is one of the only characters that has stayed focused.
We saw him leaving a meeting with Ross just as his (Ross) wife was arriving, and Zajac turned to check out her booty, so the set-up was laid out for us, which were obviously confirmed with the photos.Did we know that Zajac was boffing the alderman's wife before we saw the pictures? The fact that we saw him considering making a play for Kane's wife a few scenes before pointed out that he was a total horndog, but damn, man keep it zipped!
I think his motivations were (in no particular order):My question, (and if the answer is yes, he's even more of a sleazebag) is, was his motivation to re-connect with his daughter solely to "use" her at some point? Given his character, I wouldn't put it past him, but yikes!
OK so we knew there was "interest" (but given Zajac, that's no big deal), but not "action". That's what I thought, so the reveal that the pics were Zajac and Ross' wife (not Kitty) was a surprise.We saw him leaving a meeting with Ross just as his (Ross) wife was arriving, and Zajac turned to check out her booty, so the set-up was laid out for us, which were obviously confirmed with the photos.
Of course her name is "Kitty (Katherine, I'd guess) O'Niel" implying that she's Irish Catholic so she'll may have to go against her religious principles (assuming she has principles). I hope that she does and that it doesn't ruin her life (the abortion, not the fact that she needed one). One of my pet peeves with American TV is that people never seem to have an abortion (hell they seldom even use the "a" word) and get on with their lives.I say Kitty will go for an abortion, since she now sees Zajac as not just a cheater, but as a player.
