I'm skeptical of whether Ralph has the necessary self-awareness or willpower to follow through, but if ever there was a "come to jesus" moment for the Gunt, this could be it.
Despite being seemingly "independent," he has always lived at home as far as we know, he's a mama's boy. He's finally alone in the world and there's no psychological "safety net" that comes with having a parent in your life.
Financially his prospects are drying up, he could be facing almost twenty years of child support, and with the stigma of being a "leader of the online alt-right," it's fair to say his chances of a viable career are incredibly slim.
Ethan is at a crossroads. Optimistically, it would be best if Ralph went to rehab, cleaned up his act, got his shit together and took on some responsibility for his life and child. Or he could come back to continue his downward spiral as he continues to commit social (and probably actual, eventually) suicide.
The next couple of weeks in the guntosphere will be very interesting.
