Our thoughts:

• As I always say, one of my favorite things about this show is watching the growth of the characters- and Kevin’s growth (along w/ Justin’s acting) is the best… I loved when he realized, his fame or money wouldn’t matter as much as being “there”~

  “My dad was the most ‘there’ person that ever lived,” he says.
  

• I also loved when Jack tells Kevin that maybe what makes “parents loom so large in our heads is they’re a million things to us all at once” and that “even after they’re long gone, we’re stuck with them, we can’t help it, they’re inside of us.”

• Did anyone catch the name of the guy in the car accident?? I didn’t, but the actor is Joshua Malina (from Scandal, The West Wing, and so many other things!), so I have to think this character will reappear at some point, right?? I always feel like they only use a recognizable actor if this is the case? Or maybe not… ?
