Admist all the chaos, Mike shares an emotional moment with his father Sonny when they both find themselves in an AA meeting. To pass the time, Mike shares with the group about how his mother passed away after committing suicide. What was supposed to be mere distraction turned into a solid father-son confrontation. This was a very important moment in Mike's character build-up, we've only seen him get angry at his dad and that's what has made Mike the kind of man he is. During the meeting, Sonny opens up about the emotional toll it took on him to support his wife's decision, who, because of fighting with cancer, didn't have much left in her to live. And that's when it hit Mike, all the anger that was filled in him against his father suddenly found a way out. The father-son duo share a very crucial moment that will hopefully change Mike's behavior rather subtly in the coming episodes, giving the character its well-awaited development.
