this episode is going straight into my favorites list. not only was it full of little domestic tarlos moments because you cannot tell me carlos didn’t design the napkins and obsessed over every little detail from the menu to the music, but also the top tier owen and tk moments. there’s this layered relationship that is unfolding little by little and now we’ve gotten a new piece of it, small glimpses in the life of a young tk and the trauma that those years were for both tk and owen, the difficulty in admitting that people are not only good or bad and they can sometimes make mistakes that weigh on other people, how owen struggles with seeing enzo and tk together knowing well that he was absent for many years and also being grateful that someone was present for tk when he couldn’t be, and tk having to face the fact that maybe enzo isn’t who he thought he was but also that person who was with him for ten years was good to him back then. and then nancy becoming captain. i cannot wait to see our bisexual icon nancy become captain. and the 126 will be so happy and proud. but also destroyed at the same time. getting to see that journey these last few episodes with nancy and tommy was very healing and very heavy at the same time. it felt like a punch in the guts and a hug at the same time. and again lone star has this really great way of showing different traumas and responses to it that somehow come to a common closure even when they come from very different sources.
