I mean, honestly, one of the things I love in Doyle is that temper (well, not throwing people off buildings) and how it usually has its base in a rage against something unjust or wrong. So the kid on the bike, I can see that on Gabe's behalf, but since he himself IS the thing the kid is jeering at, but we don't have a scene of him reacting to the racial slurs against Gabe, I dunno--is this anger about Gabe or about Doyle?
And I agree, he seems weirdly helpless. He seems to swing back and forth more than makes sense to me.
So right at the end, what was Gabe's "open-mouthed passion"? Platonic? What is that kiss for? Does he think it's goodbye? Well, honestly, I never have a good sense of Gabe as a character.
