Are there scenes that you just don't buy?

Wife and I are completing our probably 20th rewatch together (probably my 40th). Sometimes things hit me differently during some rewatches than others depending on what is going on in my life.

There is one scene that I feel the same about on every rewatch. I just don't buy Nate's Father in season 3's International Break.

For a show that is all about redemption and forgiveness, building these intricate arcs about people becoming a better version of themselves brick by brick I feel like his father's speech comes completely out of nowhere. Am I missing where this was built up somewhere else? I know Nate sees the map but that shows kindness from his father to other people which was never an issue elsewhere in the series.

Are there scenes like this for other people? Something that just doesn't ring true to you as you watch?
