I am just writing this review to spotlight a major flaw of this particular episode. PFLAG, is a support group for "parents and friends of lesbians and gays." It is a group that is not supposed to judge others. In fact, one would think this group is being highlighted in this show for parents who want to be supportive of their children. One would think.
So, that being the case, why, in this episode, does Victor's mom decide not to share anything about her relationship with her son, because she witnesses one mother who apparently just took seconds to accept her son's sexual orientation, and then get adulation from the other attendees? And then, it never gets resolved, as if his mom would have no plans to attend in the future?
If I am wrong about that, I am sorry. However, this show gives the impression that PFLAG is not the place to go if you took a longer time accepting your child for who they are. What a terrible disservice to PFLAG. It is a wrong-headed message to be sending to people who may know nothing about the organization. There is no way that any PFLAG chapter would ever give that sort of impression. If anything, this episode would discourage parents from attending. Thus the rating for this episode.
