lone star has gone and done it again with choosing the most perfect full circle needle drops here and I'M BAWLING MY FUCKING EYES OUT the way these go perfectly back and forth between pilot and homecoming and vice versa. got a lot of bad days still coming our way but it's sweet ever after. YEAHHh the way that's perfectly judd from the pilot as he fights through grief and changes and gives in to its silver linings at the end, then it's perfectly him now after five years, welcoming a new stage of something so well deserved in his journey.
owen looking back at the 126 helmet and the cowboy hat like he always did with the rock from the towers, he's fulfilled his duty in austin and now he's back home where his heart always belonged, but also a piece of his heart will always belong in austin too after all, he saved his son and left him happy there, he made a life there, rebuilt the 126 and filled it with an incredible ride or die family that never falterd to fight for each other, he left it all in the good hands of the man who was always meant to run it one day... and that's owen strand for you!!! a man tethered to so much loss it leaves him on the fence to always go back to where it all started. the promise to meet again was made to new york five years ago and now that's fulfilled, it's renewed to austin and everything good he's made and left there.
