that occurred to me too! I love it when his luck takes a big arcing curve in manipulating his overall situation and places him in the right place at the right time, even/especially if it seems like a bad one for a while!

whatever the case, it’s clear that he hasn’t interacted with the family for a while and has been given a wake-up call of a sort. Again, they played that moment of lucidity for laughs at the end, which is fine, but there’s a lot of genuine emotional character-developing potential there; that isolation has always been a reason why I find Gladstone so compelling and I really hope they utilise it fully.
