While he shares a close bond with his extroverted son, Jacob (M20), he admits that he’s unsure how to handle Felicia’s emotions in the wake of her mother’s passing. But when a family dinner leads to an emotional breakdown, the father faces a tough question: should he have stepped in to comfort his daughter?
