Nate’s first fight back is one he won’t soon forget.
For any series, balance is a delicate thing.
But what tonights episode ofKingdomdemonstrated is quite simple: This show could easily walk a high wire.

And in that in-between is where we spent most of this week.
Lets get to it.
What are you doing?
Keith: Its me, Keith.
Across town, Alvey and Christina are signing their divorce papers.
To put it simply, he wants Jay to fight Ryan.
Alvey, however, hates the idea.
So as far as hes concerned, if Jay wants this fight, hed have to fight unaffiliated.
But Lisa warns him to think on it before giving Jay the news.
Alvey needs to take things one son at a time.
Theyre not good for you.
Oh Alvey, you have no idea.
With one last pep talk, Alvey and company head to Nates fight.
Well, everyone except for Ryan, who spends the evening with his father.
When his mom called him, she informed him that she was moving in with Ryans aunt Robin.
But Ryans dad is quick to tell Ryan not to give his mom a hard time about everything.
If you ever start to resent your mother, remember that moment, his father told him.
(Trust me, he will.)
Well, Laura tries to find common ground.
In the ring, Nate comes out ready to fight.
And despite begging the ref to end the fight, Nate doesnt get his wish.
Another thing this show does so well is letting silence and emotion tell the story.
In this moment, its not what they say that tells the story.
Its the moment when Alvey drops his head just before the show ends.
