Sure, Haida's father said too much, but still, there is some trues. And was kinda Haida's fault to stay under the family wing after his HS band incident.

I like Haida's mother even if is the basic "sweet lady with a horrible husband" trope.

Can we take a moment to mention what a cool character Jirou is? What a scumbag, I want a whole series about him.

I still have no idea who I'm rooting for. I'm proud of Retsuko for being able to keep her cool but man, Haida is really just feeling meh to me this season. He's trying but I can't help but like him a lot less compared to the previous seasons.

I still can't believe Haida took the money only because Jiro told him to do it for his dad who not so long ago grossly offended Retsuko to her face and ruined the dinner for everyone. 

Haida really is an idiot without any dignity.

Not to be dramatic, but Haida should kill his entire family for the sake of himself and Japanese politics.

Haida is kind of a putz but at least he stood up for Retsuko when his father insulted her. In contrast, he just swallowed several insults against himself.

I think he did it for Jiro, who told him he couldn't focus on the election (his own future) if Haida didn't take it. Haida is the older brother and should be looking out for his younger brother. That's not how things have been going since Haida is a "loser" but here was a chance for him to do something an older brother should. In fact, I think Jiro deliberately manipulated him like this; it may be signifigant that the last word of Jiro's lines before Haida took the money was "Aniki", which unfortunately the subtitles did not represent.

Jeez haidas dad sure is a dick. I know haida screwed up once in the past with a song but jeez dude. Thank god he had his mom at least. Those shots from haida to his dad felt pretty good and he told him to back off retsuko. At least we had some levity when retsuko asked about the girl in the picture. I guess haidas brother is more like his father. haida took the money to help his bro focus and he just laughed and admitted to manipluating him.

Thats how I took it as well. His bro was begging him to take the money since it would help him after haida refused a bunch of times. So to be a bro he took the money only for jrio to reveal it was all a trick and he manipulated him.

When you understand why Haida's character were made that way... and starts screaming at the monitor "throw the money away, use the money to make a big show or something, just something big to make your bro eat his words!" anyway, a nice episode!

For real! I don't see how Haida is wrong in this. His brother is a massive asshole.

I honestly thought Haida's family was in the mafia at first.  
Political family actually makes more sense.
