Tomoya is still exhibiting weak characteristics from his usual self by plaguing his thoughts of the past. He lost his wife, and is emotionally broken down, but he should really start a new with his daughter, Ushio, and hopefully not mirror what his father's situation was. Unlike his father (presumably), Tomoya has some friends to back him up during his time of depressing, so that's what's gonna lead me to believe that he won't exactly follow where his father's path lies.
On the other hand, he hasn't known Ushio at all for five years, and that's just dispicable. Quite a fluent episode of back-to-back father/daughter's first relationship, although Tomoya might need to work on his fathering techniques a little more for being a workaholic and big spender, as evidented from his actions in this episode and there on.
