While I agree that the first Michael is more innocent than the second, maybe that's the whole point. Pete is not exactly the perfect dad. The episode Fraternity of Thieves is to me about the consequences that can occur if you put your job a head of everything else. For Pete, he was basically married to his job and it destroyed his marriage and severly harmed his relationship with Michael. Dana Elcar is perfect is this episode. Michael--well I like both---in Family Matters my favorite scene with Michael is the very end when Pete and Michael are talking about going to a basketball game together. In Fraternity of Thieves, the scene where Michael has been caught by Pete and Mac is so powerful--Michael is upset obviously, Pete is hurt and angry, Mac is trying to keep them calm.
"For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."
