So, cool, so brill, the scene where the ICE agent’s mother is sharing with her daughter how her husband, the agent’s father has such strong unshakable faith and why he says he needs to have, yet is able to see the flaws in it. That being followed by the scene of Frank reading The Crack-up by Scott Fitzgerald. (A key to the theme of this story I assume.)
At the beginning of “The Crack-Up” Fitzgerald makes this widely quoted general observation:—

the test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.
— F. Scott Fitzgerald

So, the ICE agent’s father has that ability, we are to assume; as well as, Frank character here and what his internal movement is in essence exploring and expressing.

Just thinking out loud and connecting to what was said earlier at the end of the Support Group session to Lewis though about reading books, “ “Perspective is good, but the answers have to be your own. You have to take an honest look in here (puts his hand on his chest / heart) before you look anywhere else, alright?”
(which scene is then followed by Frank bringing one back, a book, that he’s read).

Oh, so interesting, very strong writing …. yes, and to quote Simi5 “oh shiiiittt that’s a strong strong tvshow here.”
