Papa Wolf | |
| A Million Little Things / int_1dfd19f9 | comment |
Papa Wolf: Eddie takes this to the extremes in the season 3 episode "The Price of Admission" (which took place during the COVID-19 pandemic) Theo is outside playing hockey when he hits the puck onto a neighbor's front lawn. When he goes to pick it up, the neighbor yells at him to get off his lawn, saying that he doesn't want to catch the "China virus." Eddie sees the whole thing and how does he respond? By smashing the neighbor's car with a hockey stick. Eddie soon regrets this after seeing the look of horror on Theo's face. | |

Parents as People | |
| A Million Little Things / int_20989d05 | comment |
Parents as People: The number of parents who don't fall under this trope can be counted on one hand. Among the more notable examples: Eddie and Delilah's affair all but tears both of their families apart, with the kids taking it especially hard. The effects of their actions are still palpable one and a half seasons later. Maggie's mother meant well when she hid her son's organ donor status from her daughter, but that action only served to drive the wedge between the two even deeper. Invoked by Rome when he worries the adoption agencies will see him as a bad potential parent due to his mental health struggles. | |

Was It Really Worth It?? Gary’s original plan was to scare Peter into confessing to what he did to Sophie and Layla. But Gary left Christopher alone and he lost it on Peter putting him in a coma. In the episodes following, the police names Gary a person of interest. Eventually Darcy figures out that Gary lied about his whereabouts during the night Peter got attacked and breaks up with him. And once he tells Sophie about what he did she doesn’t want anything to do with him | |

Bittersweet Ending: Gary's cancer returns and ultimately proves terminal. With his body failing, he decides to end things on his terms by drinking tea, presented to him by Maggie, laced with drugs procured by Eddie and Rome. However, it means he gets the chance to definitively find closure with his loved ones and the group's bond stays strong and everyone remains in each others' lives over the following decades. | |

Break the Cutie | |
| A Million Little Things / int_4b316d47 | comment |
Break the Cutie: Gary: losing his best friend Jon to suicide, learning his other best friend Eddie had an affair with Jon's wife, almost losing his dog Colin and having to almost give him back to his original owner for good, breaking up with Maggie. It gets WORSE when he attacks Peter Benoit with Christopher Gregory, which causes Darcy to dump him so her son wouldn't have to witness Gary getting arrested. Maggie: upon learning her mother had lied to her and her father about her brother Chad's death. And also learning that her friend Eric was NOT the recipient of Chad's heart, faking it the entire time from when it was "revealed". Even Maggie's mother does not know. Regina: Eve reveals she changed her mind and wants to raise her baby herself. Hearing that was a REAL slap in the face for her. Katherine: having to put up with a lot from Eddie over the years. From his drinking, to his affair with Delilah that resulted in Charlie, lying about using/abusing oxycodone was the final straw for her and she divorces him after he returns from rehab. invoked | |

Wham Episode: The season two finale has three big wham moments. Eve gives birth to the baby that Rome and Regina want to adopt, only for her to change her mind and decide to keep it, Maggie heads to Oxford, but not before Gary admits that he loves her, and Eddie is about to go back to drinking due to him feeling guilty about the death of his friend Alex, but he quickly stops himself and talks to Katherine over the phone about how much he loves her, right before he gets hit by an SUV. | |

Lifesaving Misfortune | |
| A Million Little Things / int_99c3dd05 | comment |
Lifesaving Misfortune: 17+ years before present time (2018), Jon and his old college roommate Dave were flying from Boston to Los Angeles. Jon stopped to buy a bottle of wine last minute at the gift shop, which causes him to arrive at the gate seconds after the gate agent closes the gate door and adamantly refuses to let him board. He calls Dave (already on the plane) to inform him he’ll have to catch the next flight. The missed flight was American Airlines 11 that flew into the North Tower of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. When the news plays on the gate’s TV, he and the gate agent can only share a shocked, wordless glance.note Notably they do a closeup shot of her name tag, Sophie, the eventual name of Jon’s daughter. In the pilot episode, Rome would have gone through with his suicide plan had he not gotten the call from Gary about Jon’s death (which he only chose to answer because he got annoyed by Gary’s constant calls interrupting him). Rome discusses this when the guys are out during their traditional hockey game when Gary goes on a grieving rant about what meaningful outcome could come from Jon’s death. | |

All for Nothing: Eddie had believed getting hit by a truck and receiving paralysis was Laser-Guided Karma for indirectly drowning his deceased friend Alex Stewart alongside all the other bad choices he made in his past. But it wasn't. The father of the deceased girl reveals she died of a reaction to a drug given by her sister Colleen. Her body being in the water was really staged to look like a drowning. | |

Both Sides Have a Point: In "Justice, " Delilah announces she's permanently taking Sophie, Danny, and Charlie back to France. While it's for purely selfish reasons, you have to consider that she doesn't feel like she's able to grieve Jon's death because of how he died and her affair with Eddie. And while Delilah should have been there for her children while they were going through difficult things, it wasn't right for Gary to imply that it was her fault that Sophie got assaulted by Peter. | |

Survivor Guilt | |
| A Million Little Things / int_feaf12e8 | comment |
Survivor Guilt: Revealed to be at least one possibility that may have led to Jon’s suicide as well as why he always had such a positive outlook and support for his friends. One flashback event shows 17+ years before the present time, he invited his old college roommate Dave on a flight trip from Boston to Los Angeles but Jon gets to the gate mere seconds too late and the flight attendant refuses to let him board so he calls Dave (already on the plane) saying he’ll have to catch the next one. Said missed flight was American Airlines 11note the plane that flew into the North Tower of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. This also ties into another story arc on who the unknown beneficiary Barbara Morgan was in Jon’s will whom he bequeathed some of his money too; she was an old friend of Jon's and then-pregnant girlfriend of Dave, with a now-teenage son PJ in present-day. | |

Innocently Insensitive: In "We're the Howards," Gary thought Rome wore a button-down shirt to Sophie’s baseball because he was vain, not because there’s a good chance he was going to be the only black man there. Regina's white mother Shelly is often obtuse to the struggles her daughter faces as a black woman. | |
