That scene at the end where he casually jokes with his loved ones before playing the tape must have been comparable to him moving a mountain character wise. I still can't get over how well they executed the message in this one. It could have so easily been a "parents have feelings too" storyline but they went beyond that. Mordecai's mom wasn't really the point of conflict, she would have kept the peace even if Mordecai did destroy that tape. It was something internal he needed to come to terms with and I love how subtle they played that (well, at least until the very end). Paraphrasing the adorable little spectre Mordecai; Everyone has moments they're not proud of, it's part of being human. But they'll only define you if you let them. What a powerful, adult message to put in a kids show. Amen! :)
