Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Dr. DeLeo's desire to see his son's first steps doesn't quite work because up to that point we've had no clue that he really had any regrets. It's supposed to be moving; we're supposed to believe this fixed something for him, but it doesn't quite work.
