My favourite of the series so far.

Stan is by far my favourite character in this series. I love that the big man who speaks limited English is a softy at heart. All he wants is a family to call his own. I've enjoyed watching him connect with his team mates through Pokemon. His discussions with his Pipes was hilarious at times. You could feel his pain and anger at what happened with Eric. I felt for him in his loneliness.

I also liked Eric although I don't feel like I know him as well. I liked that he was happy to be a single parent and I also liked the portrayal of Frieda, she wasn't portrayed as the bad person for not wanting Noah, some women just don't want to be parents. Eric's devotion to his son was lovely, and I had a giggle a few times when he had to bring Noah to the rink.

I enjoyed seeing the family they were making and I can't wait to see more from these two
