Jack and Bobby is one of my all time favourite shows, and when I found out that they were canceling it, it was a sad day for me.
I loved it that we finally got to hear Bobby as the presideint, I think that it was great that Grace and the boys took a roadtrip to Texas to see there dad. But later Bobby chickens out and Jack goes instead. It was great to see them connect like that for the first time in a long time. Courtney and Jack together!! YES, but not for long cause she marries Bobby. I loved this episode it was really exciting.moreless
Jack and Bobby discover that Grace plans to visit their father, Juan, in a Texas prison. Even though Bobby was originally the one who wanted to see their dad, Jack is the brother who meets him, and he feels responsible for their dad leaving, but Juan says that he left because he was a screw-up. During their meeting, Juan says he is in prison for murder, but there appears to be hints he was unjustly convicted and is innocent allowing Jack the right motivation to pursue his future career as a public defender. Jack and Courtney finally reveal their true feelings for one another. Tom returns and goes to Grace's house. She answers the front door in a bath robe. In the future documentary, there is a host who explains Jack's life from fighting in the War of Americas where he became a war hero, later a public defender, elected into Congress and his untimely death. Initially, it was Bobby who encouraged Jack to run for Congress but Bobby inherited his late brother's seat when he died.moreless

TRIVIA (2)
ADD TRIVIA-
Nitpick: In the future, Peter Benedict says that Jack was "Congressman for the 22nd district of Missouri." Missouri currently has nine congressional seats, and would have to have populations comprable to Ohio or Illinois in order to have twenty-two congressmen.

QUOTES (2)
ADD QUOTES-
(Last line of the series)
Pres. Robert McAllister: As strong as the marble of the Jefferson Memorial, as tall and proud as the Statue of Liberty. This spirit, the same spirit, that brought the Mayflower to these shores lives today in the great ship we call "America". A proud ship of state gracing the dawn of a new tomorrow. A tomorrow in which we extend the hand of friendship and bury the fist of war. A tomorrow where man shall know the respect of every other man. This is the dream of our Founding Fathers and the charge we owe to our children. It is our life's work. And it is not done yet. -
Peter (to Grace): I may dance like a geezer, but I know a good looking woman when I see one.
