I love the show. But the writing of this episode seems to be a couple decades behind the times
Toward the end of the episode, we witness a confrontation between Daniel and the hockey team. Apparently the writers thought we needed a 4 minute scene devoted to gay and misogynistic slurs about Johnny being Daniel's "boyfriend" and "lover boy", a hockey player being a "pussy", and Daniel being "Sally". But hey, at least the writers recognized the hockey players crossed the line justifying violence when they called Daniel's wife a "smoking hot brunette who needed a test drive". Really??
Am I missing something? Yes, the hockey players were supposed to be seen as jerks. But I really expected the main characters to be evolved enough to be offended by homophobia & misogyny long before the apparent last straw of a comparatively benign comment about Daniel's "smoking hot brunette" wife.
