Tension rises when the news spreads that victim Thom was Ben's biological son. Christy nearly leaves him, but the family stays together, even when she's fired to avoid further negative publicity. Ben finally gets disproved father Paul arrested, for consorting with his underage eldest daughter Tasha, but the veteran is released, due to a solid alibi. Ben drags promiscuous Tasha from respectable classmate-date Coooper's party, suspects in-living buddy Dave Carroll of seducing her and kicks him out.
