Damn, I felt all kinds of emotions during this chapter! Good for James for finally having enough self-respect to stand up to Sam and for not letting him continue to demean him. It will be interesting to see what Sam's excuses will be for not being at the hospital and for not answering his phone, let alone for being fired and lying about it all this time. Seems like James will be forced to be there for his mom in many ways going forward. I, for one, hope she finally realizes the hurt and emotional damage the family inflicted on the oldest son. Great chapter!
