I love the symbolism of Carlos taking off his hat and immediately cuddling up with Tk.

It shows that his dad has stopped third wheeling in the relationship. He has finally solved his father's murder and taken his place as a true ranger.

However, he states that even though he brought justice to his father, it still hasn't given him the resolution he magically wanted. This leads to him realizing that he isn't going to suddenly heal from his grief and that he needs to deal with that grief, outside of being a ranger. He's done the most he can do with in uniform, now he needs to work on this outside of the uniform.

Now he realizes the importance of focusing on the people around him (as he mentions his mom as an example) and the live surrounding him instead of the love that he's lost.

As soon as TK approaches him to cuddle, he makes sure to take of his hat to let TK know that he is ready to focus on him as he's the most important thing in Carlos's life. That's the beauty of their marriage, they can rely on each other no matter what.
