Ted Kennedy/Dad: Jack and his father have a rough, on-again/off-again relationship. They love each other, but have trouble admitting it, and they piss each other off. Ted sees great potential in his son, potential to really make a diferance in the world, and Jack just wants to live his life. Ted sees Jack as the last great heir to the Kennedy's and would love to see his son become president or something influential. He's always talking about Jack wasting his potential. Generally, they come together for a happy reunion that ends in one of them bringing up some topic they will fight about and Jack storming out as quickly as he came in.
- In the aftermath of Jack and Arthur's raid on No Man's Land, Jack and Ted had a chance to talk. In that conversation, Ted made it clear that even though he expected a lot of his son, and felt that family should be able to solve problems together, he was proud of the boy and what he had done. If this will signal more peaceful relations between the two in the future is yet to be seen.
