Where's Manny?

Someone help me out, please. After Daniel's altercation with Manny during group, Pickle becomes Daniel's roommate. We know this occurs after Avery speaks with Manny while Daniel is away from the house, trying to gather his composure. However, is it me or do we never see Manny again? He was conspicuous by his absence in the subsequent group scenes at New Canaan, in my opinion. Did I miss something pertinent to his disappearance? Was there a mention of him being exiled for his behavior? I doubt they'd keep them completely apart if Manny and Daniel were both still living in the house, as this would seemingly be counterproductive to what Avery is trying to instill in these men about how to deal with real world problems. Any thoughts or clearer memories regarding this plot point?

Avery took him on a walk down to the creek and then told him to imagine the farm and the rabbits he always wanted if you know what I mean.

Confirming that we do not see Manny again. It's a convenience. And a noticeable one, like a few others in S4. Clearing the way for closure.

...but then recanted that decision once Manny illustrated what a socially inept and disgusting person he was. Got you.

I doubt Pickle, as an ex-con tenant of a halfway house, could undermine Avery's plans for any of the men under his watch. However, I do concede that it would've been interesting to see Daniel HAVE to deal with Manny, an innate instigator, instead of having his foil magically disappear from the series. I do believe he would've handled it better than he did with his interactions with Teddy and Trey.

It was gross.

Having to watch Manny do himself was like watching someone pick their nose.

I bet your boy Melvin is a nose-picker.

just because someone picks their nose doesn't make them a bad person!

neither does masturbating in public

maybe manny took a walk with avery, avery told him to take it outside, and he got arrested for cruising,

i smell a spinoff,

many was just a sock puppet pushing daniel in the direction of his therapy,

as for Pickle making the descion, i think he talked to avery first, suggested it would be better, and avery agreed, knowing what kinda a punk manny was, and the sensitive darling soul daniel is,
ITS JUST NOT APPROPRIATE
