HEY, you know how at the start of the episode when Day's father said Night told him Day was going to be at the wedding? Personally, I was like, "Why would Night do that? That seems like something that would obviously upset Day." I saw a few others reacting this way too, so I wasn't alone in wondering why Night did that.
But then I remembered the original plan for this trip. Night was supposed to go with them. Their mom only signed off on letting Day travel so far if Night was the one to take him. Letting Day and Mork go by themselves was a spur of the moment decision.
If the original plan had happened, Night would have been in Songkhla with Mork and Day but he likely wouldn't have stayed with them once they were there. His job was just transportation, their mother never stipulated that Night had to watch over them while in Songkhla. The plan was probably to get Mork and Day there, then go off by himself and meet back up with them later to drive home. Why would Night have attended the wedding of his brother's friend? Night didn't know them and he's very aware that Day wouldn't have wanted him there. As he always does, Night would have tried to minimize his presence as much as possible during the trip so Day could enjoy the event.
This episode established that Night reached out and reconnected with their father on his own, and it seems he's been in contact with him for a while. Given that, Night's plan after leaving Mork and Day was likely to go visit their dad. If so, its reasonable to assume Night would have told their dad that he was coming to see him and the reason he would be in town was Day attending his friends wedding, but Night probably wasn't planning on having Day and their dad meet. Night likely wouldn't have told Day where he'd been during the trip at all (and Day likely wouldn't have cared anyway). When plans changed and if his dad was expecting him, Night would have let him know that he wouldn't be going after all. But since Night wouldn't be there and their dad knew Day would be, he saw the opportunity to see his youngest son again and took it. If Night had gone, I doubt their dad would have gone to find Day, he would have concentrated on being there for Night. But in reconnecting with Night, it probably made him want to reconnect with Day too if given the chance. I think showing up to the wedding uninvited and causing a scene was the wrong way to go about it, but it all worked out in the end so WHAT DO I KNOW!?
Night didn't orchestrate some ambush. He'd likely just made a plan to stay out of the way, but in doing so gave his dad information on what was going on, and when plans changed their dad acted on his own. In what happens to this character pretty frequently, Night's best intentions resulted in the worst outcome.
Night wasn't even there, and he still takes all the blame.

Thinking about the convolution of Eleventh Doctor's expressions of love for River Song in Season 7B. He does not trust Clara. He is utterly (wrongly) convinced that he and Clara are playing a grand manipulative game together. “What are you, eh?! A trick? A trap?!!”
So naturally, the last thing he should do in this game is to clue his opponent in on something that could be used to hurt him. Something like River, so painfully near the end of their time together, whose data ghost he can always see, who “it would hurt too much” to acknowledge. He can't let Clara know of the loss which constantly floods his senses; (“You are always here to me. And I always listen, and I can always see you,” he professes, once Clara has vanished into his timestream).
And yet. River fills his every moment (irregardless of any sneaking out for dates with increasingly-young Rivers while Clara is asleep like he did while the Ponds slept, which would explain his absence when the TARDIS is hiding Clara's bedroom). Even though it's not strategic, he can’t help but tell Clara about her. The best defense he can manage is to phrase it as if River isn’t as important to him as she is. Not only is avoiding her first name in his grief; he's also completely avoiding pronouns; which seems extreme given that he's still mentioning her as often as: “Oh yeah, of course he has! Professor Song! Sorry, it's just I never realized you were a woman.”
Leave out the emotion — leave out the details — don't show the cracks in the armor — play the part — win the game.
“Well, there's no point now. We're about to die. JUST TELL ME WHO YOU ARE.”

There's no real thesis to this observation but while we're comparing waterfall excursions across seasons -
The Crossing takes place after Echo decides to join with Rex. Omega is having a Bad Time coping, and Wrecker & Tech are bickering a lot, and Omega is very keen that Echo come save them but for various reasons he cannot, and Tech tells her something like "We'll find a solution as we always do." (and they do)
Infiltration/Extraction take place after Echo sort of returns/they sort of step into his mission with Rex. Omega is having a Bad Time (for obvious reasons) on the heels of Hunter & Crosshair being at each other's throats and Everything hinges on Echo coming to save them. (and he does)
IDK just - one of the ways Tech's absence is Very Loud this episode but less pointed than "how do we decrypt things?" Every time Rex said something about contacting Echo I kept thinking back to The Crossing.
(but also LOL apparently they could have just taken Nala Se's datapad to Fireball the whole time?)
