I'm gonna expand on my prior comment.

They really just identified a great chance for turning normal ideas on their head.

GH lost his father. In most circumstances with this story, he'd be lost and in need of mooring and it writes itself.

BUT COTTON WAS AN ASSHOLE. In which case the story would be maybe he's better off without THAT dad. But we all have a need of A dad so what is going to happen.

BUT WE LIVE IN THE AGE OF THE MANOSPHERE. So the void of GH's dad is being filled with.......the same toxic bile that his old man WOULD have fed him.

So Hank having to defeat the Manosphere (classic KotH storyline), after acknowledging the valid reasons for its existence not justifying its toxicity and harm (classic KotH chef's kiss)... also gives him the chance to finally get resolution over his father. It fully justifies the new series to me. It was GREAT.

The cherry on top of course is now Hank has GH as a young man who he can build cars with and (presumably) do all the stuff he wasn't afforded with Bobby, is fantastic. Like a karmic reward for remaining a good person, loving Bobby, and now having a relationship of mutual respect w/ Bobby (which in another way, is overcoming Cotton's shadow over Hank).

Great on a multiverse of levels.

Finally saw this episode, been slow rolling watching the new season. Spot on take.
 
They've indicated that they're going to pay tribute to Luanne and Lucky, although nothing came of it in this season. But there will be another.
