Unpopular (?) opinion: I don’t think Gabriel should be able to inevitably revive Emilie. The biggest character moment for him should be when he finally accepts the loss and lets go. That’s what will redeem. When he finally stops putting his own desires before the wellbeing of his son. When he learns he can’t have it all. When he learns to stop being selfish. When stops valuing his life over others. He can’t bring her back. He can’t exchange lives. He’s not entitled to forgiveness either. Adrien has the right to be mad at his father for all the neglect, emotional and psychological abuse he’s had to endure.

If his son can do move on, so can he. Adrien tries his best to be a better person in spite of all the pain. Gabriel can learn a thing or two.
