The episode starts out on a pretty normal, almost domesticated level. Kim is talking about Mack and the new school, and there’s this ongoing tension about selling the house. Even in those small family moments, he feels distracted, like his attention is already somewhere else. With all that is going on with his father it’s understandable. Selling the house and watching his father’s memory slip away day by day is very distracting to Adam. Kim says lately he always seems like he

Season 13, Episode 18, titled "The Wicked River," finally stopped gatekeeping his happiness.

He’s not racing for fun; he’s assessing. Every shift, every turn tells him something about the car, the person who owned it, and what kind o
