I thought they made their peace after the father's death ... and Nigel beat feet for greener pastures ... regardless, I loved both the book and the movie. And was gratified that Slater made the cameo in the last few scenes when young Nigel goes into the kitchen in London for his first real gig in the restaurant kitchen ... loved it!
