I generally see this as Mark's general character arc for JJ, at least going back to Paternity. JJ's tendency is to hide into himself, but Mark usually finds some way to force JJ out into the real world in some way or another. Part of the reason why Mark pulled JJ's skating career was because it was an easy crutch that JJ could use to hide into.

I can roll with it.

Renee Rapp would be a hilarious model for a grown up Maddy Graves. LOL I love Gen Z. They're so kooky.

Except for JJ. I think that's the Jim Crampton part inside of him where he really could give a shit about disappointing JP or not. LOL

Hey, maybe Big could surprise you. Maybe he'll wind up moving to Texas and leading a nice life in the Dallas suburbs with a sweet wife he's utterly loyal to.

Personally, I don't find it necessary to actually see Will's graduation ceremony because he was already so checked out of high school. It's not going to summon up the deep emotions that it would have if Will had actually been emotionally tuned into his school environment the way someone like Matt Carrswold was. Of course it's always up to Mark but I kind of love ending it this way. He could always cover the graduation in an epilogue or a prologue to the next story.
