Summary
The Murdaugh name meant power for a hundred years. Now it means murder.
Part 5 of "The Name" explores what remains after the collapse. The victims still suffering — Gloria Satterfield's sons, Mallory Beach's family, every client Alex robbed. The survivors trying to rebuild.
And Buster Murdaugh, the surviving son, carrying a name that will never mean what it used to mean.
This episode asks the question anyone who's escaped a toxic family knows: How do you separate yourself from a legacy you didn't choose?
The dynasty is over. The wreckage keeps spreading. And the people holding it didn't all choose to be there.
You can't choose your family. But you can choose what you carry forward.
