Like most of the emotional moments resulting from this show, it was hard differentiating whether the cause was heartwarming or saddening.

Gary is the self-proclaimed "cool uncle," but he really steps it up for Danny in his time of need. He's the originator of the "band of dads" pact the others made to be there for the Dixon children.
