Several of them, actually, leading into an AA meeting.
What kind of trauma is Jack hiding from his time in Vietnam?
Jack is holding onto a lot, Ventimiglia tells EW.
Or he was just a mechanic.
Expect to learn about and witness more of Jacks time in Vietnam this season and beyond.
Weve heard about it, but now we actually get a glimpse of it, says Ventimiglia.
Were ultimately going to spend some time in that world understanding what had gone on there.
Thats a side of Jack that were going to know a lot about and spend some time with.
Speaking of the punching bag, did he get any boxing tips from Sylvester Stallone?
He explained to his family that he will need them, along with professional help.
Or say to his daughter, Dad has a drinking problem.
I think it makes him more admirable that hes not just trying to stifle it or hide it himself.
Ventimiglia chuckles when asked about the scene.
Im laughing now because Im trying to mask the tears rising in my eyes….
I cant imagine that something like that would be easy for a father to admit to a child.
Especially being very sober.
God bless her for doing that.
Its a big, proactive decision for Jack and it needs to be as this multi-layered issue cuts deep.
More immediately, what can you expect from next Tuesdays installment (aside from that Stallone guest spot)?
You will follow Jack into that AA meeting that he was walking into as the credits rolled.
Its an episode about repairing these cracks and fractures that have built up over time, hints Ventimiglia.
Hopefully were on the road to Jack and Rebecca being unified again.
And that starts with his own road to recovery.
This Is Usairs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on NBC.
