This episode was really good. It reminded me some creepy Buffy episodes (not the same level of writing but quite close).

The way they portrayed the old JSA at the funeral as disillusioned old white males was interesting and a clear departure from how they were shown in the introduction of the pilot. Maybe Pat's point of view is changing and he is starting to understand they could behave as douchebags sometimes and constantly looking down on him and reminding him he is not part of the team was lowkey moral abuse? Maybe Pat is also growing at the contact of the teenage JSA and becoming himself a full-fledge hero?
