Miguel getting shortchanged and being undervalued?
You know what, that tracks.
like, forgive me for taking a while to warm up to you, Miguel!
You deserve the world and you did not get it!!
Hes never more aware of that split than in regards to his relationship with his father.
And it is a crack in their relationship thats never repaired.
They drink coquitos in his honor.
Theres also the Rebecca of it all.
We learn that Rebecca and Miguel did NOT like each other when they first met.
Jacks ploy works (of course!
Ask me again later.
I dont know, folks, but it sounds good when Jon Huertas says it.
This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship, as they say.
And then finally, FINALLY, Miguel is going to be in town and Rebecca suggests dinner IRL.
This dinner, my friends.
It is the dinner weve been waiting for.
Miguel is so nervous, it is adorable.
Rebecca promptly sits down next to him and plants a big ol kiss on that guys lips.
The swooning I did!
He brings up the fact that they never talk about Jack.
He wonders what he would think.
He is, forever, the family drama queen.
But we know that Miguel and Rebecca forge ahead.
We hear them recite their wedding vows.
That whole bit about loving one another in sickness and in health until death parts them?
Whoa, buddy, does that hit harder now.
And thats what all of this backstory is supposed to do, right?
Not just tell Miguels life story, but give context to the man he is in his present day.
Those vows he made to Rebecca?
He takes them beyond seriously.
This scene is juxtaposed with that last cabin conversation between these kids and Miguel??
And they are all there again once Miguel has died.
Well, sort of.
Its the two parts of him that made Miguel who he was.
I will never understand Miguels love ofBorat, but I will miss the hell out of that guy.
Anywho, cant wait for these final three not at all emotionally devastating episodes, right?
