A simple intercept-and-deliver mission allowed them a pleasant first-date walk around lower Manhattan.
Their marriage is clearly in a pretty bad place, to the point that its affecting their son.
The last episode used its target of the week character to offer some subtle parallels to our main characters.
Here, the parallels are much more explicit.
And John and Jane are certainly tested.
Hes also shocked by Jane using What if he molested me?
as her comeback without actually sharing that experience herself, but she has a point.
Plenty of people have fraught relationships with their fathers.
Never mind that Jane is just as icy and emotionally withholding as John, if not more.
Parker genuinely wants to connect with the kid but doesnt know how to get through to him.
John tracks her to the top of a slope, where armed men are shoving her into a truck.

But John is always one to go above and beyond.

I respect the dedication.
Maybethatsthe most romantic part of the episode.
