For me, the only consolation to this intensely moving episode was the thought that, for a moment, Randall too experienced this undeniable connection, this painful sensation of peace, knowing that, at the very least, he had brought his father home.
It might not be able to reach some intangible emotional truth, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy its facsimile of such. But "Memphis" felt even more genuine that it ever has before, and it was a truly wonderful episode.
