I've seen this episode on other channels before, and I will make the same comment- the guy is prejudiced for sure, but I think she could have him see reason and get him to mend his relationship with his son! Somebody commented before it was not her job/duty whatever to do that. That's true indeed. But if you/like/are I love with someone and they seem to be able change and there seems to be a chance for them to change - why not at least try?
