The scene where Drew’s father shares his scars and talks about the jealousy he felt was remarkable. Having both been beaten and having scars from their fathers is a possible bond. The fact that Mickey’s are visible for the world to see and knowing Drew loved him with them was more of why his father had the reaction initially, than from them being gay, although having a fundamentalist father probably didn’t help.
There is still much to discuss and decisions to make to move forward and possibly save the company, but not at the cost of family balance.
