Season 1 Episode 1 17:30 to 18:20. Screenshots here.
DESCRIPTION:
The memory shows Mom bringing Five and his siblings to Reginald's office, as the children are ready for bed and they want to say goodnight. They seem to be genuinely waiting and hopeful for some sort of acknowledgement that, however, never comes. Reginald doesn't address them, doesn't say anything, doesn't even look up from his papers.
Though Mom is noticeably awkward, at the dismissal she gathers the children to take them to bed. Allison seems to be particularly upset at the lack of acknowledgement.
IMPRESSION:
- This was not usual (wanting to say goodnight) and it does seem they had to gather some courage to go through with it. Unfortunately it was entirely pointless because Reggie doesn't give a shit.
