Who is Sean Archer?
Sean’s incarceration is the result of drug-related charges, given he has been there for a significant amount of time. Dr. Archer was unable to spare his son from the impacts and repercussions of drug intake, which he feels ultimately led to his son’s incarceration. His son was a drug addict, and Dr. Archer was unable to save his son from being a drug addict. Since Sean’s arrest, they haven’t had any communication, but that all changes in the premiere episode of the eighth season when Dr. Archer gets a call from Cook County Jail. This conversation ultimately results in a reunion between the father and son after a significant amount of time has passed. Their conversation, on the other hand, does not go very well because Dr. Archer is still concerned about whether or not Sam is still using drugs.
In season 8 episode 2 when Dr. Archer visits Sean in jail, we get to see him for the first time. They simply look at each other for a moment before thinking about their time away. While initially, everything seems to be going well, things swiftly turn sour once Dr. Archer inquires about Sean’s drug use. Even if the two are able to make up at the end of the episode, it is obvious that the father and son’s reunion won’t be an easy one. Sean appeared at ease where he was, but Dr. Archer is doing all in his power to free him. Dr. Archer feels responsible for his son’s current condition, which he believes is a reflection of his inability to properly care for him. He feels too embarrassed to even consider agreeing to Sean’s incarceration, Because of this, Dean does not discuss his son’s time spent in jail with anyone, not even Ethan, who is his most closely connected mentee. When Sean is brought to Gaffney following a brawl in jail, Dr. Archer is unable to keep the truth about his son a secret as he notifies Ethan about Sean’s incarceration at the same time.
In the eleventh episode of the eighth season, Sean is granted parole due to the increased number of inmates at the facility as well as his positive behavior. Dr. Archer is concerned about what his son would do once he is released from prison, especially considering the fact that there is a risk that the son Sean could resume his drug use. Despite this, his son assures his father that he will fulfill his obligations to the family by completing his education and finding gainful employment. The fact that Dr. Archer is visibly moved when he hugs his son following his release from prison demonstrates that the two of them have successfully reestablished their relationship as father and son.
