Owen reflects on his childhood as he reunites with his estranged father.

Tropes:

  • Bookends:
  • A Day in the Limelight: Continuing from the previous episode’s Cliffhanger, Owen’s therapy sessions drive him to remember the childhood experiences that caused his Survivor's Guilt, and how it relates to Walter. It also spurs him to travel to Los Angeles, his old home city.
  • Death of a Child: Of Tyler Strand, Owen’s younger brother and TK’s namesake.
  • Flashback: The bulk of them take place in the summer of 1976, as the Strand family falls apart.
  • Forgiveness:
  • Heel Realization:
  • My Greatest Failure:
  • Out of Focus: The 126 are not featured in the episode, with TK and Carlos getting a brief scene FaceTiming with Owen.
  • Secret Other Family: At the hospice, Owen learns that his father remarried and has another family visiting his bedside. One of those members, Robert, is the first one to reach out to him in the waiting room.
