Loved this episode very much. Showed the personal angst and humbleness, yet also, PTSD, that happens to soldiers after returning home from war. The loss of a fellow unit member can change a person’s viewpoint about their own morality, values, and, boundaries they have either had or not had before experiencing such harsh turmoil in the front lines of the war. A wonderful plot arc was weaved in this episode that makes me want to hug the writers. WELL DONE!!!!!

EPIC SPOILER AHEAD!!!!!

It’s about time they gave a shout out homage to the original The Wonder Years(1988-1993)!!!

That last scene was a 6 degrees of separation connection to original program’s Cooper Family’s son, and, Winnie Cooper’s Brother. Remember that story arc? Winnie’s brother was killed in Vietnam. This episode ties the Williams family’s eldest son, Bruce, to the Cooper family’s son, Brian. They were in the same military unit.
