It's insane the level of depth and maturity in the themes of this show. They took such a heavy topic that people usually watch cartoons to escape from and in the span of 20 minutes, fully deconstructed and reconstructed it into something else entirely. Sure, it's been done before elsewhere, but these are usually films and are much more metaphorical than this episode, which outright states the topic to significant benefit.
A lot of shows dance around the issue, and some do it effectively, but the brutal honesty in this one is seriously compelling and is a testament to the writing and production involved. Alex Hirsch, Soos' VA (and show creator) is just the final layer of icing and sells it with an absolute master class in emotive acting.
And something else to remember: Even though Soos says he’s over his dad. There’s still one little tidbit close to the end of the series that’s a bit of a gut punch, that involves not his dad but close enough.
Having infinite pizza, that’s a dream come true! But seriously, what Soos did in the end was pretty cool.

Got some backstory on Sues. Glad they followed up on the time travel guy.
