* Jack going full on PapaWolf at the beginning of “Super Bowl Sunday”: the minute he sees the house on fire he wakes his wife, makes sure to ask Rebecca if Kevin is indeed not home and safe, rescues Randall, then saves Kate by using her bed as a shield for her ( and getting burned himself in the process by the flames) just the utter love and protectiveness he showed for his family is just incredible to see.

* Toby is enthusiastic to hang out with Randall and Kevin during their bachelor party in Vegas. Why? because he sees them as his brothers after stating his younger brother (who is a decade younger than him) isn’t really close with him.
