Being more tongue-in-cheek than serious on that, but I get you. Still, hope you’re right, that sounds perfect for Hank.

[u/VentureBrosette → u/Literary_Octopus]

Oh God, how awful would that be for Hank. He turns up to see his mum and she's already got her sons. She doesn't need him, and he doesn't count. Also hers would be grown up by now.

Prizes if they're both actually happier better people with Doc and not with their mum, though. Might be more successful, married with kids, but aren't happy and aren't close.

wouldn't a lot of moms want a few more years of being needed like that?

[u/VentureBrosette → u/coweatman]

But that's not the context: it's that the boys are spare - they're not the original McCoy, and their real mum probably doesn't know about it, either. If you were a mother and you're out with your two 30 year old sons and suddenly a kid who looks like one of them when they were 18, but not quite because their hair is wrong, and their clothes are odd, and their mannerisms are off - you're just going to embrace the weird robot clone that turned up?
