So it’s later in the evening and the cooking’s all done and Ola’s out and about in the restaurant, saying howdy to all the boys —
— and there is Jamie, nifty in blue and his ICON cap and pleasantly buzzy from all the drinks Dani mixed, and Ola doesn’t exactly corner him, but he stops by and, “Ah, you must be Jamie! I’ve heard so much about you!”
Jamie blinks a couple of times at that, trying to imagine all the times Sam might have talked to his extremly supportive dad about him, and succeeding only far too well. “Oh. Uh, yeah. I mean… I’ve, uh. I’ve tried to do better, so. But. I guess. Uh. Yeah.” And he shrugs a little, unhappily, because he really doesn’t know what to say to this gentle giant of a man whose son he terrorized for six unfortunate months a couple of years back.
Ola just looks at him, frowning but not in a nasty or angry way. Cocks his head to the side. “Yes. Samuel’s told me.”
Jamie makes a face at that but before he has time to say anything else – offer any apologies – Ola plows on: “He’s told me about his very good friend who’s been such great support to him in this last year, in spite of him not having much support of his own.” He pauses, making sure that Jamie is hearing him: “I’ve been glad to hear he has such good friends. Samuel has been very fortunate.”
“Oh.” Jamie blinks again. And again. His eyes are wide. A slight shine to them, maybe. He looks away from Ola; away from Sam, happily (and inexpertly) (but still succesfully) flirting with Simi by the bar.
And Ola puts his arm around Jamie’s shoulders and it’s warm and it’s heavy, but it doesn’t weight him down; it grounds him. “Tell me, Jamie,” Ola rumbles, as he gently guides Jaime to one of the stuffed benches by the wall. “What do you think about—“
(And if Sam looks up from his conversation with Simi and if his eyes stray to the men on the bench… he’d smile, yeah, soft and aching and pleased with the way Jamie – seemingly unconsciously – is leaning into Ola’s touch, listening and grinning and gesturing wildly as he answer whatever questions the older man asks of him. Sam sees them, and he smiles.)

my son, listen to me. don't fight back. fight forward.
[Image Description: five gifs of Sam Obisanya and his father Ola sitting in the exercise room together, after Sam breaks down about his restaurant being destroyed. Sam is leaning forward with his elbows on his knees, while Ola looks at him with concern:
GIF 1: Sam lost in thought as Ola looks at him with eyebrows furrowed, saying, "Follow your heart, Samuel."
GIF 2: Ola continuing and saying, "Anger will only weaken you."
GIF 3: Sam looking downwards, slightly annoyed and put-out at his father's advice as he turns slightly towards Ola and says, "Yeah. Okay."
GIF 4: Ola smiling slightly as he leans further into Sam's side, saying, "But if you really want to piss off the people who did this..."
GIF 5: A continuation of the previous gif, with Sam looking up at Ola. Ola raises his eyebrows and wisely says, "Forgive them."

I think the thing with Jamie is that he didn’t particularly have any role models of how to go from ‘bad’ to ‘good’. His mum wasn’t perfect, but she didn’t pretend to be. I bet she said sorry when she upset him. Most of the team was good from the start so never fucked with him really. And I love them, but Isaac and Colin didn’t really do a redemption arc. They stopped being little shits and that was apparently enough.
But that isn’t what I really mean. No one who has particularly hurt Jamie has ever made amends. (Dad and probably his dad’s mates.)(To some degree, Roy and possibly Ted). Plus when the type of being hurt you’re used to is an extreme one, it can skew your perspective of even what counts as hurtful. So I don’t think Jamie would have thought of himself as bad as his dad. Not in a million years.
Even though what he said to Sam made Sam lose confidence in himself. The way Jamie’s dad’s bullshit made him lose his own confidence. None of Jamie’s peers could make him feel that way, so it must have seemed absurd that he could to them. And if he’d thought of it that way, he’d have probably thought they were babies if that was enough.
Which is compounded by the fact that thinking that way probably meant he was grateful to his dad. Believed he’d needed his dad doing that to him so he could be strong and tough and become a premier league footballer. Ted reinforced that idea at least twice.
But Sam’s strength came from the foundation of his father’s love. Jamie became truly strong when he got the support of his team. Roy got (more) out of his own goddamn way once he let Jamie in as a part of his support network.
Jamie had to see people taking steps to be the best version of themselves to start that journey for himself. And part of that meant getting out from under his father’s thumb and away from his fists.

Something something these aren't throw away lines...something something the main themes of S3...something something showing us that experimentation and failure, forgiveness, and queerness shouldn't be a big deal.

Shut up, I'm not crying because the guys all pitched in to help clean up Ola's.
Isaac getting his cousin to fix the window, Moe fixing the neon sign, Richard bringing in wine from his personal collection, the realization that Sam named the place after his father.
You're crying.
