Another aspect of the episode will be Larry (Matt Bomer) paying a visit to his family. As we saw in previous episodes this season, Larry reconnected with his family following the death of his son, Gary. From the looks of things, he will be taking Rita along with him as he visits his remaining son and meets his grandson as well. The idea that Larry would take Rita with him for something as important as spending time with his family is just the latest example of the profound relationship between the two, something Bomer spoke with ComicBook.com about ahead of the season premiere.
“It’s obviously the closest relationship that Larry has,” Bomer said. “Rita has known who Larry was long before he came out to her and was able to love and accept him. And she comes from a generation of women. I remember speaking with my grandmother before I had come out and she would talk about people as bachelors. It was this group of women who loved and accepted these men or women for who they were, but didn’t have to talk openly about it, were just there for them. And I think the fact that Larry has now come out to her has only deepened their relationship. And they have an understanding of each other that goes deeper than any of the other people that Larry interacts with on the show.”
He continued, “There really is a profound, unconditional love that she gives to Larry. And I think he, back to her and understanding that doesn’t have to be talked about openly, that there’s just a space and a love given around each other’s issues. Absolutely.”
