Co-written by Reservation Dogs co-creator Sterlin Harjo and star Devery Jacobs, “Elora’s Dad” saw Elora Danan (Jacobs) meet her estranged father (Hawke) for the very first time.

The episode proved intimate and quietly electrifying, one of the best entries in one of the best shows of recent years. And at its heart were two beautifully grounded performances from Jacobs and Hawke.
