WARNING: SPOILERS ahead for The Righteous Gemstones series finale.

The final episode of finale episode of The Righteous Gemstones ended with Baby Billy coming to with his responsibilities as a father, but failed to include his adult son, Harmon, who was portrayed by Macaulay Culkin in season 2.

Baby Billy has been with his wife Tiffany since the beginning of The Righteous Gemstones season 1. Despite their obvious age difference, both appear to be deeply in love with each other throughout. They even went so far as to run away with Eli Gemstone's stolen money after Tiff accidentally killed Scott, also known as The Devil, at the end of the first season. When Tiff found out about Baby Billy's son, Harmon, whom he had with his ex-wife Gloria Freeman, she was heartbroken, but the two ultimately found their way back to each other. Ultimately, Tiff is Baby Billy's main love interest in the series, but he had four wives before her.

In the Interlude episode of The Righteous Gemstones season 1, Baby Billy tells Aimee-Leigh that he's had three divorces before marrying Gloria. We know that he later divorces Gloria and eventually marries Tiff, but the audience is never told who his previous three wives are or if he had any other marriages between Gloria and Tiff. It sounds like an entire flashback episode could have acted as a dedicated overview of Baby Billy's relationship history, which would likely have been informative and hilarious. While Tiff is great as Baby Billy's spouse, his previous four wives remain clouded in mystery.

The series finale of HBO's beloved comedy series The Righteous Gemstones was well done and satisfying, but I think season 3's ending was even better.

Gloria Freeman, Baby Billy's fourth wife and the mother of Harmon, only appeared in two of the 36 total episodes of The Righteous Gemstones. Actress Chloe Traicos portrayed Gloria in these episodes, depicting the scene in which a younger Baby Billy abandoned Gloria and Harmon in a pet store. This was an unforgivable offense that cost Baby Billy his relationship with Harmon, which was a significant part of his backstory and season 2 journey. Other than this, there is not much else known about Baby Billy's three previous wives before meeting Gloria and having Harmon, only to abandon them later on.

Even though Harmon was seen as an adult, we never saw Gloria again after the Interlude episode in which Baby Billy abandons them both. This raises the question of what happened to Gloria after that pivotal and heartbreaking moment that left her and Harmon scarred for life. It's safe to say that Baby Billy ruined their home and family, but as for specifics about how Gloria ended up, or if she's still alive by the series finale, it's impossible to say.

Considering Goggins is much younger than his character in The Righteous Gemstones, he could easily pull off a prequel series set back before Baby Billy even meets Gloria, which would dive into who his three unnamed wives were and the various rise-and-fall stories of each.

Perhaps if there is ever a Gemstones spin-off focusing solely on the misadventures and business prospects of Baby Billy, more information on Gloria's fate will be revealed. There's been speculation that Danny McBride may not be fully done with the story world of The Righteous Gemstones, suggesting that a Baby Billy spin-off or prequel would be a sensible project that would make plenty of fans excited.
