9. Jack’s Father and Son Reveals
(“Sons and Lovers,” season 3, episodes 24 and 25)
In the season 3 finale, Jack manages to find his biological father—but he is devastated to find out the man has been dead for years. In the midst of his depression, Jack is then stunned to find out he has a 13-year-old son, Elliot (Michael Angarano), from a sperm bank donation he made long ago. It’s a beautiful emotional rollercoaster for Jack, and some of Sean Hayes’ finest work on the show.
