Eddie has had many romantic relationships, but Leeanne Wainthrop throws him for a loop. Eddie is sure he’s ready to settle down, but his past reputation as a flirt and a heartbreaker keeps Leeanne on edge. Is his recent conversion enough to counterbalance that? Should he have to prove his intentions?
Kyle Quinlan is an acquaintance of the Browning family. When he’s found dead, Mike volunteers to go and break the news to his parents. How would you tell a friend horrible news? Is it better coming from a friend or from a stranger in an official capacity?
Mike is more worried about his grandchildren’s safety than his own. Should the family have moved its holiday celebration to another location? What else might they do to ensure security?
Eddie’s sister Monique insists her children speak only English. She’s seen how speaking French hurt her father, and recent studies have shown that Franco-Americans with French-sounding surnames have historically not advanced as far in career fields as their counterparts with more English-sounding names. What advice would you give her? What about Leeanne, who is somewhat fascinated with Eddie’s heritage and might marry a man with a very French-sounding name?
Eddie is very tense when Father Claude comes around. He wants to get out of there as fast as possible. Is this something he’ll have to deal with for the rest of his life? How can he avoid future confrontations, or should he avoid them? How can he reconcile his upbringing with the new path he’s taken?
Eddie is thrown into the limelight after his rescue of a child. He tries to ignore the social media posts and throws away phone messages. How could he handle this embarrassing publicity better? What should he say to his mother when she tells him, “That’s my son, the good one. The one saving little children, not the one making girls cry”?
Sarah does Eddie a big favor at Mike’s request. Do you think everything she said is genuine? Is she still in love with Eddie? What should Eddie do?
Eddie’s troubled relationship with his father has deteriorated since Eddie was saved. His pop doesn’t even want to talk to him, and Eddie doesn’t know how to handle the family tension. Harvey gives him some advice now and then, but what else could Eddie do to build bridges with his parents?
Is Eddie really ready to get married, even at 28? What wisdom can you share with him? How about Leeanne? Should she wait a while? Should she accept him as he is and love him, or should she run the other way?
