[edit] Summary
Ernie Myers is released from prison and Eric has a tough time adjusting to the change.
[edit] Plot
Ernie Myers is finally getting out of prison. Julie, Brooke, and Eric are excited about Ernie’s release and return home, as are Whit and Tom. Ernie wants to get on with his life and hopes his family will accept him back. Whit offers him a job at Whit’s End. This sits well with everyone, except Eric.
Eric thinks such a job is beneath his dad, but his mom explains that the whole family will need time to adjust to having Ernie back home from prison. Eric is much happier when he learns that Tom has pulled a few strings and gotten Ernie a new job, until he finds that Ernie’s new job is working as the janitor of Eric’s school.
Now Eric doesn’t want to have anything to do with his father. But Whit counsels Eric. Whit guesses correctly that the real problem is that Eric hasn’t truly forgiven his father for going to jail in the first place. Eric realizes the error of his ways and apologizes to his father. The two of them begin to build a new foundation of love, trust, and forgiveness.
