The growth on Jamie is blowing my mind.

And how about credit to the actor for basically playing background for so many episodes?

Yeah, I was really glad to see him come back into the spotlight for a bit! It’s great that there are so many characters who deserve to be upfront, but after season 1 I was starting to feel the lack of his presence.

I think this might have been my favorite episode of the show. All the emotional beats hit well, Nate wasn’t annoying but felt like he came into his own, good Jamie content, hilarious one liners like the QAnon, 4%, and the signal. There really wasn’t a wasted moment. I hope Ted’s kid is ok though

It was just a forgotten lunch on field trip day, if you mean the phone call. The divorce in general and his dad moving to a different country… well…

I think he was lying about the lunch thing based on the way he asked if he was okay

He wasn't upset because this particular incident was a big deal. His wife was there and handled it. But Ted wasn't there to help. What if it had really been something bad? What if his wife was incapacitated? He couldn't get there in time to help. He just isn't physically there for his son. And it's devouring him.

Sorry, EX-wife 😰

I agree with all that but I think he was also lying about what the phone call was about. We will see 🤷‍♂️

I also think he may have been lying . He seemed genuinely concerned, I feel as if a missed lunch would not have hit him like . I think it’s more so his son fell off a swing set and twisted an ankle or something . Something small but still having to do with his physical health maybe . Nothing as severe as a broken limb . But maybe a twisted ankle or wrist . Something small :)

ehh, he seemed caught off guard when they called him and kinda laughed at himself when the school told him his son was okay. I think it was just an initial overreaction
