Lewis 203 "Life Born of Fire"
Wonderful episode, though very, very sad. I can't even imagine living with such a guilt as Hathaway carried. I mean, he was studying to be a priest, he was just saying what they taught him to say, but what it lead to in the end...
I loved how completely nonplussed Lewis was by homosexuality - when he said that if his own son was gay, it wouldn't change anything, I cheered! What a wonderful man.
The scene where Lewis and Hathaway had their first real fight, with shouting and hand-waving and blaming - that actually hurt. It hurt to see how betrayed Lewis was by Hathaway's secrecy, by his lies. Lewis didn't mind all the stuff around, but he couldn't handle that Hathaway lied. Lewis would've covered for him, he would've helped him! But instead of coming clean, Hathaway lied... Ouch.
And the fire, Lewis rushing to Hathaway's rescue... Loved it!
As sad as it was, there were some funny quotables there:
The most interesting thing for me was the scene in the car, when Lewis asked outright if Hathaway was gay and Hathaway answered by asking Lewis to define gay and then he refused to put himself in a neat little box by basically not answering the question at all. I wonder if he was feeling guilty, at least partially, because he himself was bi/felt attracted to men, yet he sent Will back to that godawful therapy... I would love to see that explored further.
My favorite guest character? Nova Rose. That girl kicked major ass, figuratively!

Lewis: Apparently, we're using too many paperclips. I've been reprimanded by Stores.
Hathaway: I'll take it very seriously, sir. From now on I'm a staples man.
Lewis: I bet that means something in Latin.
Hathaway: What makes you say that?
Lewis: This is Oxford. Everything always means something in Latin.
