Daniel and Ted Jr.'s phone conversation


I could not understand what Ted Jr was telling Daniel he had of his fathers and they decided to leave it in the garage.

reply

The ceramic mechanic Jr was obsessed with, that belonged to Lester and that Daniel had once loved.

reply

It's the ceramic statue that Daniel had wrapped and was going to gift to Amantha before he was attacked in the cemetery. It is a sentimental reminder of Lester as well as how life was before the murder of Hanna, so it is fitting that it be stored in the newly cleaned out garage.

reply

Excellent observation. Also it represented Daniel and Teddy jrs relationship

reply

In drip drip, Ted sr gives Daniel the Ceramic man, after the goatman ride, but before his baptism,
teddy is pissed because he "touches" it every day, but out of jealousy over Daniel,

He was going to give it to Amantha after he was done visiting hannahs grave, but then he got jumped by Bobby Dean

Amantha Find it in the hospital and realizes what it must be

I think Eventually she gives it back to Teddy at the end of season 3,

So him returning it to Daniel was him saying "i forgive you", but also him letting go of the tire business, Therapy, Divorce and shooting himself in the leg, has certainly matured Teddy
and Daniel never really wanted to hurt teddy, but impassivity is a huge problem with the PTSD, you see it all the time with veterans that come back , and then kill their family
