I actually think that the show is trying to say the opposite. It's not that it's instant. He's not his father in the final moments. But on the long timeline...

I really feel for Portia at the end.

He's just way too educated on and aware of the issues that stem from such behavior, having experienced the pain first-hand, there's just no way. It's not in his character.

Here's a pretty good thread on how the opening credits sequence illustrates some characters and their roles within the story

It's an interesting theory, but I don't think anything directly tells us it's in his character to follow in the other men's footsteps. I feel his intentions are good throughout the show, and so he will continue with that trajectory after the credits. "White Knighting" isn't at all necessarily a dark path.

Personal info that doesn't pertain to this show specifically but does include this show: I need to really analyze why so many problematic males are identifiable to me out of the gate before deeper understanding and study.

Y'all, I might be a piece of shit.

I had a similar experience. I bet most of us do. Again, our worst impulses don't define us unless you act upon them.
