I have no idea what the point of this episode was other than telling us a little bit more about Jacks mother and childhood. Other than that, not sure how it advanced a single storyline. This episode could have been in Season One and would have had the same effect.
If anything, let’s focus on next week when we further see how my predictions from last week come true.
Malik and Deja are either pregnant, or engaged.
Also, as I have said from the day they met, Cassidy and Kevin end up together. Make peace with it now.

I hope you’re wrong about Kevin ending up with Cassidy. I am so hoping that Kevin ends up Madison.
Clan of the Cavebear was iconic in the 80’s. I think many a female read that book.
It was needed. It will be why Jack went back to drinking and why he went back for the family dog. He thought of his mother’s cat.
I’ll bet that book is tied to Rebecca’s and Miguel’s courtship somehow.
