As already said in past, this episode is cute, but not so great. And this is one of my less favorite episodes of Clincoln McCloud. 😕

I agree with those who say that Clyde doesn't make much sense in this episode, but I don't agree that Clyde must have been completely absent. Instead, it is more suitable only in a minor role. He is an adopted son after all, it could be useful at least in that part on the meaning of the adoption .... so he should be there to support Lincoln after the shocking discovery of not being the biological son of Rita and Lynn Sr, but only in a very small part of his role in that episode. In my opinion, Lincoln should have done the research on his own without Clyde for most of the episode, until he made that terrible discovery. Upset, he no longer had the courage to go home to face his family, instead simply running away. He goes to Clyde's house and asks his best friend if he could be his guest in search of a temporary refuge. Clyde agrees to welcome him and asked Lincoln what had happened. Lincoln tells Clyde all about the adoption thing. At first, Clyde was surprised, but then assumes the mature attitude of a wise person who has already had adoption experience. He tells Lincoln not to be so tragic, saying that the family is still a family, biological or adoptive. No matter where you come from, the important thing is that this family loves you regardless of the blood bond. And Clyde was very happy indeed with his fathers, despite being an adopted son. Lincoln was surprised by those pearls of wisdom that came out of his best friend's mouth, he immediately thinks of the happy and wonderful moments spent with his "parents" and "sisters", then realizes that Clyde was absolutely right. Comforted, Lincoln decided to go home to face his family and thanked Clyde for the adoption speech. Lincoln tells his parents that he has now discovered that he has been adopted by them, but that he still accepts his conditions calmly because he knows he is loved by them. But the parents laughed, saying it was all a misunderstanding. They tell you how things really went, and Lincoln finds out he's always been their biological son. Obviously, the scene of the US president is to be avoided because a little too surreal for my taste.
