Dan did everything he could to make Keith's life a living hell...as he had done so to his own wife Deb and his eldest (unclaimed bastard) child, Lucas. Always jealous of Keith, the straw that broke the camel's back was that Dan believed the fire in his dealership that almost killed him was set by Keith. The person who really tried to kill Dan was his emotionally scarred ex-wife, Deb.
So, while Dan Scott had always been a deplorable human being, killing his own brother Keith came right out of left field. We all could see Dan's rage and hatred towards his brother escalating...but seeing Dan pick up Jimmy's gun and point it right at Keith's chest...that was just chilling. I did not for one bit expect it to happen. More so because Keith was one of the most beloved characters on the show and I had no idea that the show was planning on killing Keith and letting the actor, Craig Sheffer, go.
The shooting changed everything. Keith's death affected the entire series from then on. Dan's entire make up shifted. No longer was he the 'love to hate' him antagonist. Now he was a cold blooded killer on a downward spiral. The comedic, devilishly evil Dan was dead.
Truly epic twist for the show. Ballsy, but it worked to perfection.
