It then cut to Joe explaining how Oliver was crying through Eddie's own story as it resonated with him and his own past.
"It's a lot," the Nashville actor said through tears as he was then calmed and embraced by Eddie.
Fans took warmly to the clip and shared their wholehearted support for Oliver. One left a comment saying, "Love this vulnerability. Love the idea of crying like a man rather than crying like a baby. Life is hard! Life without a father figure is hard. Big hugs."
Another wrote, "That was really one of my favourite episodes!!! I related on so many levels," and a third also added, "Oliver, you should write a book."
