** TK does this with Gwyn after she admits that she’s moving back to New York for her family with Enzo, wondering if he himself wasn’t enough reason for her and Owen to stay together.

* WellDoneSonGuy: Carlos ends up feeling like he’s become this when Gabriel harshly questions his instinct and judgment in letting Enrique escape, and later doesn’t (at least directly) acknowledge that he’s proud and relieved about this clearing his name. It apparently isn’t the first time this happened either, since Carlos mentions to Owen that Gabriel actually didn’t approve of his choice to become a police officer, or (seemingly) his sexuality after his coming-out.

* ToBeLawfulOrGood: Carlos faces this dilemma after he lets a terrified man strapped with a bomb flee the alleyway, who claimed that a group of robbers would kill him if he didn’t cooperate with them or come back to the bank they were hitting. Gabriel takes a more aggressively skeptical approach to Carlos’ testimony about the man’s fear (regardless if he’d been genuine or not) and his son’s choice potentially furthering the robbers’ plan or getting the man killed; Owen, on the other hand, empathizes with Carlos’ situation and thinks that he did what he thought was the kinder and humane option by believing the man instead of arresting him.

* AdultFear: When Carlos visits Owen’s house to ask about TK’s whereabouts, Gwyn gets hit the hardest with this when remembering her last conversation to TK.

* OpenMindedParent: One of the first signs of Carlos reconnecting with his parents? After TK is transported into an ambulance, Gabriel allows Carlos to ride with TK, much to his son’s shock. Turns out, he and Andrea figured out that TK and Carlos were a couple after the encounter in “Friends with Benefits”— and they’re happy for him finding a good man to love.

* AwesomeByAnalysis: After finding TK’s sobriety chip on the ground in the parking lot, Carlos recognizes the van from Gabriel’s current case and figures out what really went down between the 126 paramedics and the bank robbers from the blood in the back of the car, including the place to use in lieu of a hospital— the Sun & Salt, Charles’ closed-down restaurant.

* TapOnTheHead: Averted. After one of the bank robbers pistol-whips TK in the head to prevent him from activating a fire alarm, he is visibly incapacitated for the rest of the captivity. It doesn’t stop him from helping Nancy and Tommy fight where he can, but he’s still immediately hospitalized as soon as the three of them are rescued.
