There's no communication, of course.
And ostensibly, he could have passed away without ever being in touch with his son ever again and knowing that he had a family. It would just so happen that I guess maybe he was an emergency contact or something that he was able to be reached to some degree.
Yeah. It's fascinating because it's like, I feel like Rebecca has a working knowledge of their relationship being complicated and Stanley being emotionally abusive and physically abusive to Jack's mom and that sort of framework. But I... Again, Jack being a man of a different generation, I feel like there's so much that's kept sort of secret, close to the vest.
It's just even alluded to in him saying so little in response to, do you want me to tell him anything? And him just saying, no, like he's been dead a long time. Like there's not a lot of elaborating. So I just was curious as Rebecca, like in that scene, I'm like, how much does she really know
about them and about their relationship and what happened and because to me it was just i i sort of had to operate under the guise of like jack that was sort of a no-fly zone like i don't talk about my dad i know he like lives in town but i have nothing to do with him he's like we don't we don't really go there so here's my question to you as an actor that i was curious about
All of that. I think responsibility, curiosity, being... you know, sort of the stand-in for Jack. Like, someone should, like, if someone is passing away, like, I think she just was sort of like, this is the obligation, this is what you do, and Jack's not here, and I don't want to make the wrong choice. And so it seems like...
it seems like the easiest decision to go there to sort of suss out the situation, see what's what, you know, and report back to him or try to get in touch with him to let him know what was going on. I think it felt worse to sort of just let the situation wither without taking action.
No?
It makes me emotional to think about it. Like, Randall just wanted to connect. He was trying his level best to be everything his brother needed and not be too much. It's like he had this...
Exactly. He had an awareness of it. And it just like still to be nine or 10 or however old he was and to write that down.
they'll talk oh i love that yeah do you thinking about this episode and brothers and you have two boys yes i have two boys but they're much younger and so we haven't haven't quite seen this sort of behavior yet but do you do they have that sort of like camaraderie and like do you notice the sort of i guess like can you relate to like what kevin and randall or even though they're
And Kevin is the big brother, more or less.
Absolutely. And I think that that power dynamic was established long ago and it's the way that it is for the entirety of their lives.
That's right. in Griffin Dunn.
Michael Angarano, yeah.
Absolutely. Because like you said, we're 23 episodes into the show. Brother has never been uttered. We've never met him before. Clearly they're not in each other's lives or not in any meaningful way. So what does that look like? Where is he? Yeah. Lots of questions arise.
There's two little things that I just want to mention. Yes, ma'am. Because I feel like it's something that people took from this particular scene. It's something that's mentioned later on in the course of the show. But just when Rebecca is talking about parenthood to Kate and tells her that it's like being a mom, being a parent is like a front row seat to the best show on earth. Yeah.
being a parent and like still like very newly, like postpartum, I was just like, oh my God, that's so true. But it's something that's echoed later on in the show. And I just, you know, it kind of reminds me a little bit of the, like, there's no lemon sour enough that you can't make something resembling lemonade.
And Rebecca telling Jack that she's a miracle after meeting Stanley, like you are a miracle that like you came from this man, you came this, this life that was given to you that somehow you were, you were this, this husband and father now is just like beyond miraculous.
I, I loved that sort of like that Rebecca was able to clock that and take that away from this experience and, and to be able to, you know, tell, tell your person that is amazing. a really beautiful thing.
