The Old Man Recap: Love Versus Trust


Emily’s family reunion isn’t as smoothly as everyone would have hoped.

The hardest part for Emily isn’t the trauma of her biological father trying to kill her, but the disappointment that the people of her childhood village can’t give her the “endless supply of answers” she’s so desperately seeking about her mother. To demonstrate the passage of time, we cut to Omar, now wearing a big ol’ pirate patch after Chase took a giant bite out of his eye socket in the previous episode. Since he can’t give Emily what she most desires, he passes along a piece of fatherly wisdom he learned from Belour herself: “You can love someone, or you can trust them.” Gee, who needs warm fuzzies at a family reunion when you can have pain and chaos instead?
