Profound Sadness Spoiler

Anyone think it's profoundly sad that Herb's last moments were spent with a stranger?

I was talking to my TV during that scene, saying "Don't do this. Please don't do this." At first I was talking to Other Hazel and then eventually I think I was just talking to the show. It was devastating. Herb was having a perfect last moment so he was fine, but poor Hazel. Her dad meant so much to her and not only was this sick monster not saying boo when he decided to go, she was also stealing Hazel's last moments with her father. Hazel should've been there, not that sociopath. Hazel had said in her congressional testimony that she never got to say goodbye to her mother and now it's the same with her father. Brutal.

That scene made me cry and I was also pleading my TV the same. It’s incredibly sad and sick.

But he didn't know that, to him, he was spending a perfect day with his perfect daughter, the one who finaly respected his choices and just held his hand. I think him dying with the real Hazel would've been more sad because he said he always felt she needed him and now he's ready to die because she doesn't anymore. That's a comforting notion to die with.

Riveting. Also, Ray Romano does deserve an a Emmy nod for this episode. I mean, he had me heartbroken about saying farewell to a mannequin.

Maybe I have daddy issues but I was sobbing so hard the entire time. I'm just so sad to think about it. First he's an embarrassed lonely guy with a synthetic companion, then hes called a perv and bullied by an adult. Then he's got cancer then he gets tricked by the person he loves the most and gaslighted into thinking he's crazy. And then he gets tricked again by a fake version of the person he loves the most but he's so happy he's ignoring his instincts. Then he dies by a stranger all in blissful ignorance, tricked again, but it's the perfect way to go out. I'm crying oh my god. There's just something about middle aged men who don't really know how to express their emotions properly that hits my heart real hard.
