I got a kick out of how it played out, whole weird explanation Mac gave Frank being mirrored in the dance, which is somehow elaborately stages for Mac’s dad, then that Luther leaves, the gal reassures Mac that it is all going to be okay, and then Frank eventually ‘gets it’.
So no cathartic moment for Mac with Luther. No “I love you, son.” And not that Mac necessarily respects Frank or wants his approval, and Frank is a bad role model, and generally awful person. But he is, somehow, after all the years and shenanigans, in a certain way the gang’s surrogate dad.
I also like how Mac wrestled with his whole identity and the gang generally didn’t give a crap one way or the other
