They went for the jugular in this episode as far as pulling on the heart strings. It was really sad to see Max finally breaking down emotionally because he thinks he's "weird" because that's what the other kids call him. Very powerful scene between him, Kristina and Adam in the hour. The button on the scene was when Kristina climbs into the back seat and just hugs him. If you're a robot, you won't be after that scene for sure. I gotta applaud NBC for allowing Adam to use the word ' a s s h o l e ' on a family show and it was 100% justifiable because of the situation that was unfolding. It's what any parent would have said in trying to make their child know they are on THEIR side. This wasn't the only emotionally charge scene. There was also Victor fearing he was going to be abandoned by Joel and Julia. His scene with Joel at the end, also powerful. The scene with Sydney blaming Victor for the family falling apart was just as equally gut wrenching.
