This was fantastic writing. I lost my mom to cancer and it changes you. Hearing about coach losing his mom as a child really got me. Then after seeing that heartbreaking scene Emma sings that song and it was perfect. Eased the soul a little when we needed it. Then end the episode with their house being burned down. Ugh. Heartbreaking. While I enjoy the show part of me has always struggled with caring about a bunch of rich bratty kids and this episode really humanized everyone in a way that breaks the perception of class. In a natural disaster we are all the same and equal. Just human beings trying to survive.
