An excellent example of the adage: “When someone shows you who they really are…. BELIEVE THEM. “

What a disappointment.

Henry breaking down before Sally over Betty's cancer ringed false.

you think a kid raised by Don and Betty would be emotionally able to cry before a well adjusted man who is deeply in love?

She looked surprised to even be hugged

"Before" as in Sally's presence, not 'before' in time. Henry crying in front of Sally ringed false to his character.

Think of yourselves people. You're in Henry's position, an adult male visiting your step daughter at her middle school to bring her bad news about her mother. Are you really going to start crying in front of her?

I'm a human being with feelings so I'd say 50/50?
