I just really love 3x16 so much. The theme of the episode was fathers and sons. We have Owen confronting his past and how he didn’t have a good relationship with his father, and resolving the epiaode with his father showing that he did care about him and kept up with his life from afar, and Owen reaching out to TK knowing he needs to repair the distance between them after a season of them hardly interacting.

And of course we then have the B plot of Judd, Wyatt and Stuart. Judd becoming a dad™️ when his son fucked up and got arrested. His own father reminding him he had to do the same when Judd acted out. The way Wyatt got to be an angry kid and Judd was then in a position to be a father figure to him in a real way. Then we get Judd being hurt and Wyatt having to look out for him? Them finally connecting and having honest communication? Beautiful. Wyatt calling him dad for the first time?? I love it.

Honourable mention: Robert losing a father but gaining a big brother !!

9-1-1: Lone Star gave us such an interesting parallel between fathers and sons.

we had judd and wyatt: wyatt blamed judd for missing out on his life

and then on the other hand we had owen and walter: owen blamed himself for his father missing out on his life

but on the healthy end of the spectrum we had tk and owen: tk knows his dad is busy, and he is also busy, but knows his dad loves him, despite his absence during his childhood

we also had robert and walter: walter became a better father to robert because he lost his sons, owen and tyler

and then we had stuart and judd: judd, like tk, knew that stuart loved him, despite his absence

all the fathers in this episode felt as if they had failed their sons, and it impacted their present relationships. the sons are the ones who reassured them, and reminded them that it does get better. it was beautiful to see owen trying to do better for tk, and walter do better for walter

walter is going to die as soon as owen forgives him. i can feel it.
