F is For Family Season 5 spoilers
Season 4 focused on several themes, including Frank dealing with his father being in the picture and the two having animosity towards one another. Also, Frank and his wife are expecting a baby and preparing for that.
During the season, Frank gets into a fight with his dad. Things turn physical, and he punches his dad in the face. He then leaves for Cleveland as part of his work with Mohican.
The Season 4 finale featured Sue going into labor while she’s home alone. She makes her way to the hospital by herself despite various struggles along the way.
While trying to fly home, Frank reveals to his coworkers that the boss is planning to sell Mohican. Meanwhile, he has an epiphany while on a plane with colleagues that’s about to go down. He’s been holding in anger towards his dad and needs to forgive. They survive the engine fire and rush to the hospital.
When it comes to hockey, Jimmy is hurt that his dad views Bill as the team’s star. Despite the coach threatening to kick him off the team, Bill intentionally gets ejected. Jimmy’s dad puts Jimmy into the game and makes him captain to try to save the game, but he ends up losing instead.
Vic Reynolds helps Frank’s son Kevin make it to the hospital with his girlfriend, Alice. Once there, Vic discovers a girl he slept with, and she’s about to have a baby. Vic said she’d given him a reason to live again.
Frank makes it in time to the hospital and finds Kevin making out with Alice in a hospital room. He then finds his father is in the chapel. His dad apologizes. Frank says it’s okay, and they can talk about it in a bit.
He rushes to see Sue before she delivers the baby. Despite being unable to see any of his previous children born, Frank witnesses this one, holding Sue’s hand as she gives birth.
The final scene brings a major ending point for the season. Frank brings his newborn baby to meet her grandfather in the hospital chapel. Just as he introduces the baby to him, his dad slumps forward, seeming to die before the credits roll.
One would expect that Season 5 will bring all of the humorous trials and tribulations of dealing with the newborn for Frank and Sue. Additionally, there would possibly be a funeral as Frank mourns the loss of his dad, who he was finally able to forgive.
F is For Family will return to Netflix for Season 5 on November 25, 2021.
