It took an entire episode for Sig Hansen to decide if he was going to give Clark Pederson his blessing or not, but of course, he eventually did. In the episode where he makes up his mind, called "Poisoned at Sea," Hansen explains what he thinks of the man asking to marry his daughter. "My wife thinks the world of him," Sig admits. "So do I. He's very respectful and he's sincere, you can tell." He goes on to say that he thought it was a little early for the pair to marry, but that it wasn't his place to say anything. "But it also gives you the power to play with them a little bit," the captain adds with a gleeful smile.
Sig Hansen and his son-in-law apparently get along well enough now that they even get into trouble together. According to the Seattle Times, in May 2017 both Sig and Pederson were involved in an incident where the two spit on their Uber driver during a dispute over payment, with Hansen even getting out to kick the door, leaving a dent. Police said that both men appeared to be drunk. Hansen was arrested for the incident and pleaded not guilty, at which point the judge ordered him to refrain from using drugs or alcohol. So, as much as Sig may respect his son-in-law, perhaps it would be best if the two didn't get drunk together in the future.
