It’s a Christmas to remember, Escorial style! Isadore definitely stepped over the line by not gifting Will. She could have done what my charming stepmonster once did and regift a present she received the previous Christmas! In the past Isadore has exhibited like behavior showing preference to Billy at Brad’s expense and more recently Will, inviting the boy who gave Will a thrashing as well as not inviting the person he had put on the list for the Bastille Day celebration.
Personally I am willing to put most of my irritation with Jack aside, assuming he really wants to make amends to his horrible behavior. Midlife crisis or serious health issues is not a get out of jail card. Having a serious operation without giving a heads up to your children is a pretty selfish act. A death bed letter,no matter how heartfelt, is still a cowardly way to explain your bad behavior.
Jeremy is doing a good job of interacting with the family. He stood by Will showing brotherly solidarity. With a little bit of thinking though the situation, he is able to emulate empathy. The boy deserves a Rolls!
Marie will definitely get through hospital security to see her daddy.
Thanks for another exciting chapter. So many possibilities lie ahead.
