Ron's journey in The Chair Company Season 1

Ron stays quiet, but Natalie speaks up
Ron faced his hardest choice at the end of The Chair Company Season 1 Episode 7. He found out that Alice Quintana, the person he is trying to expose, is the main investor in his wife Barb's new business. Telling the truth would prove Ron right. But it would also ruin Barb's company and their financial situation.
It's possible that Ron will keep the secret and make a huge personal sacrifice for Barb's sake. Ron knows keeping this secret will hurt him emotionally every day, yet he might choose to act selflessly.
However, Natalie, Ron’s daughter, may be the one to act. Natalie has actually listened to Ron’s crazy ideas. She knows how important this mission is to him. Natalie is not as emotionally invested in Barb’s new business, so she might make a different choice.
Natalie might decide to tell everyone about Alice Quintana and her ties to "Tecca." If she does so, it will create huge problems for The Chair Company and the Trosper family.
Fixing things with Seth through a family dance
A main emotional story this season is the bad relationship between Ron and his son, Seth. Ron has ignored Seth while focusing on his investigation, which has caused Seth to drink too much. This is a serious problem that the show handles with a blend of humor and sensitivity.
Ron and Seth may share an important moment in The Chair Company Season 1 finale. Ron was very mean when he refused Seth’s request to do "the Pee-Wee dance" earlier in the season, so he might repent that.
This dance is a fond family memory. Ron can fix things by choosing to dance without Seth asking him to do so. This action would show Seth that his father cares about their past and puts him first. If Ron does the Pee-Wee dance in a public place, his apology will be even stronger.
This small, funny moment could be the key to rebuilding the trust between Ron and Seth. It offers a needed moment of happiness amid the dramatic problems of the show.
Minute details that signal big events

The Chair Company often uses small details from earlier episodes as important parts of the story later. This happens a lot in the show. Examples include the group chat from the Temblay’s members club and the Hungarian bugs found at the Trosper house. The show loves connecting storylines.
The Chair Company Season 1 Episode 7 included a strange chat Mike overheard. Mike listened in on Mayor Greg Braccan talking about going home for a hot tub. This detail seems too random to be ignored.
Ron might accidentally fall into the Mayor's hot tub. This absurd event would match the show’s dark and funny style.
The meaning of Larby and the next steps
The family’s previous dog, Larby, was mentioned in passing when Barb and Ron were dancing in The Chair Company Season 1 Episode 7. Barb mentioned that Ron misses Larby. Ron also got a new dog, "Baby," without talking to his wife first.
This small mention of Larby suggests the former pet might be important to understanding Ron’s mental issues and past troubles. The show uses details for a reason. His relationship with Larby might help explain why Ron is so focused on his conspiracy theories. This idea will likely appear again in the show.
The show already has a second season coming. This means that the season 1 finale may not answer every question. Instead, it will likely provide a mix of satisfying, confusing, and awkward conclusions, while leaving the biggest family issues open for the next season.
