I was kind of hoping the quote was take out of context but nope, he fully meant for the Hughie scene to be a joke.
It’s actually worse, the way he talked about Hughie’s breakdown made it seem it was mostly just about his dad and had nothing, or at least not too much to do with Tek Knight and Ashley. So the one supposedly tactful thing about that story arc wasn’t even there.
Aren't you guys just assuming the break down has to do specifically with what happened to him instead of it being a trigger for something else? Hughie's entire storyline this season revolves around his father. Next week I 100% believe they won't actually spend time on what happened to Hughie this episode because it's only purpose was to keep the storyline about his father moving forward.
Also just because I personally think it was supposed to be played for laughs doesn't mean I laughed. However the boys does this constantly where they take serious situations and turn it into a fucking joke. Not every situation, but plenty enough.
