For now I'm going to assume Uncle's Day came about because Phoebe's father is nowhere to be seen. So since she can't celebrate Father's Day, her mother created this day since Roy plays the part in a lot of ways.
And everything with Jamie in that scene was great.
From how sweet he was with Phoebe, the thoughtful gift for Roy, and his quip about how "fit" Roy's sister is. Then later, wearing Sam's number in his first game representing England is a far cry from him pointing at his back and yelling ME over and over again in season one.
While I know it's rather divisive at best, I'm on board with what they're doing with Nate so far. He was never going to grow until he became comfortable with who he is, and the show has done a decent enough job with that for me, with the scene with his dad playing a part in that.
I certainly understand the perspective those he wronged shouldn't necessarily forgive him, but I buy the idea he could/will be a better person going forward.
Not much to say about Roy and Keeley beyond it was inevitable. Using Phoebe's teacher as a catalyst for his epiphany was a choice, but her "smooth move, (insert name)" was worth it for the chuckle.
Some other quick thoughts: Higgins is essentially right about the Willy Wonka kids, I didn't mind Rupert's moment of humanity because there had to be something there to successfully woo Rebecca years ago, and I'm not sure how I feel about Akufo's extreme pettiness.
