What Happened To Peter On A Million Little Things

So, What REALLY Happened to Peter on A Million Little Things?

Let's talk about Peter Benoit. You know, Maggie's creepy music teacher? The one who did some truly awful things?

Then poof! He was gone. Just...vanished. Did anyone actually care that he was gone?

The Disappearance Act

One minute, Peter is lurking. The next, he's a distant memory. It's like he pulled a rabbit out of a hat and used it to escape Boston. Or maybe he just finally realized he was the worst.

Did he face legal consequences? Did he move to another state and start a new music school? We may never know! The show certainly didn't seem too concerned with wrapping up his storyline properly.

Honestly, good riddance! No one was shedding any tears when he left.

The "Unpopular" Opinion

Here's where I might get some side-eye. But was Peter's sudden vanishing the show's biggest problem? Nope. Not even close.

The show was dramatic, a little bit all over the place, right? So, a creepy music teacher getting written out isn't so bad.

I think we can all agree that A Million Little Things had bigger fish to fry. Like, did Gary really need to do that? (Sorry, spoiler alert! ...But the show ended years ago).

Where Did He Even Go? Some Theories:

Let's get speculative. Since the show never gave us closure, let's create some fun closure ourselves.

Theory #1: Witness Protection Program. Did Peter secretly witness a mob crime while teaching piano? It's as believable as some of the other plot twists, I'd say.

Theory #2: He Joined a Cruise Ship Band. Picture this: Peter, now sporting a terrible toupee, serenading tourists with off-key renditions of classic rock. Delightful.

Theory #3: He Became a Monk. Maybe the guilt finally got to him. He shaved his head, found inner peace, and vowed to never touch a piano again. Unlikely, but you never know.

Theory #4: He's Still Lurking in Boston. Okay, this is the scary one. Maybe he just changed his name and opened a new music school down the street. Let's hope not!

The Real Reason He Disappeared

The real reason, of course, is much less exciting. The writers probably just realized Peter's storyline wasn't going anywhere good. It was easier to quietly sweep him under the rug.

And honestly? Fair enough. No one missed him. The show was emotionally draining as it was. We didn't need more dark storylines!

Let's be real, Peter's character was just a plot device. His purpose was served, and that was that.

In Conclusion: Don't Be A Peter

The lesson here? Don't be a creepy music teacher. And if you are? Maybe just...disappear. For everyone's sake.

But seriously, while Peter's exit was abrupt, it was probably for the best. The show had enough drama without him.

So, let's raise a glass (of something non-alcoholic, of course) to the characters we loved, the storylines we tolerated, and the characters we were happy to see go. Goodbye, Peter! You won't be missed.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go re-watch the finale and cry...again.
