Let's Shake some Squee - Second Chance episode 104 - Admissions
OH. MY. GOD. That episode... Ever since I heard about the plot of the show, this was the one scene I was really looking forward to. The father/son confrontation when Duval finds out Jimmy is his dad. Couldn't wait to see Tim act this out. And that was awesome. If you ever wonder what is it in Tim that I love so much (apart from him being the most adorable human being), it's exactly this. How he plays emotions, raw and human, and real.
That first scene. Guh. Duval being so lost, refusing to believe what he's seeing, despite the evidence, despite what they're all telling him. That was so beautiful.
And even more beautiful, I think, when we understand later, while talking to his sister, that he simply doesn't know how to react to his father coming back. What is he supposed to say? feel?
And I'm loving the relationship between Jimmy and Duval even more with each episode. There's tension, but there's also regret, and caring, despite everything. They both seem they wouldn't waste that second chance. And Tim and Rob seem to have really found their rhythm. They're really a delight to watch.
"Don't you have a tank to get back to?"
Jimmy and Duval, reaching their boiling point...
I hope Duval will quickly tell Gracie. And Helen as well.
A spirit board, though? Seriously Helen?
It did make for a funny scene. Oh and I love Helen and Gracie's apartes on Jimmy and Duval's backyard arguments. It was nice to see them more. And to see a bit more of Duval's daddy side. Or should I say Duvie. ;)
I missed Alexa, but we had a great scene between Mary and Otto to make up for it. I have to say I'm really happy with the portrait of Otto. He's a genius and socially awkward, but he's not an ass either (too many shows are playing the Sheldon-like card and that's getting old). It nice to see Otto does have feelings and emotions.
I also like the portraits of all the women in the show. Gracie is smart and intuitive, Mary is a CEO with a good heart, and pretty perceptive too.
The ending made me LOL. I don't really care for the White Collar comparisons. I'm watching Second Chance for what it is, but when Duval's boss told him about his CI and he slowly turns around with that sort of haunted look "tell me this isn't happening again"....
I really feel like this show is getting better and better every week.
And can I just be a little superficial for a minute and say how good Tim looks in that show? Great suits, great haircut... Oh and those grey temples ♥♥♥
