The Old Man Recap: Rescue Dogs

Dave and Carol’s triumphant return couldn’t have come at a better time. (And Zoe, too, I guess.)

We’ve hit the season two halfway mark, and right on schedule, The Old Man has thrown us for several loops in a single episode: The villains have shifted, two old men were killed off, and three pivotal characters have resurfaced. Emily, now fully accepting of her identity as Parwana Hamzad and surrogate village leader, has a solution: Ask her American dads to fly home and plead with Bote to lift his sanctions on her family — and bring along an in-mourning Farouk to tug at their grizzled heartstrings. Between watching his daughter kill a man in cold blood, adopt a traditional Afghan wardrobe, and care for a young village boy, yeah, Chase has accepted that “some of her is probably gone.” It’s only fair that he’s having all the feels right now too, and who better to share those emotions than with Harper?
