‘Friday Night Lights‘ Fan Columnist: No Regrets? Okay, A Few

"I Can‘t" refers mostly to Becky, who says she can‘t take care of a baby, and decides to proceed with an abortion. However, not before Luke -- who has previously been a god-fearing church-goer with pious parents (and in fact gets called out as an inspiration in church) -- tries to convince Becky that they at least need to discuss it. And not before Tim, now back in brother mode but at a loss for solid advice other than that she should tell her mom, takes her to Tami for counselling. Tami‘s the only woman Tim‘s ever known who knows the right thing to say, always (other than she assumes Tim‘s the dad, as does Eric, when he finds out later. Heh.) Tim‘s greatly relieved when Tami asks him to leave her with Becky for some privacy. It was great to see Tim with Tami again.
