Father Knows Best
S04E23 Poor Old Dad
Bud is convinced that his dad is under the thumb of his wife, Margaret, as he seems to cater to her every whim without protest. This leads Bud to question his father’s independence and assertiveness, believing that he is being dominated in the relationship. As he observes their interactions, Bud grapples with the dynamics of their marriage and what it means for his own understanding of partnership. Will he come to see things differently, or will he continue to see his dad as a submissive figure?
