Where Slade was all hard edges, Joey is the softest tissue –if the father’s eyes were cold as steel, the son’s are the warm gentle waters of a summer’s escapade to the lake; the quite menace of one finds no echo in the soothing reserve of the other.

Yet Dick keeps looking for the common threat to unite them, each instance a conscious choice against a natural instinct that tells him he can trust Joey; that he can trust him with himself, and most importantly, that he can trust him with the team.

Dick’s instincts have failed the team before.
