The Ties That Bind, Part 4

“The Ties That Bind, Part 4” is episode #754 of the Adventures in Odyssey audio series. It was written and directed by Paul McCusker, and originally aired on September 27, 2014.

Summary

Eugene and Katrina deal with the changes that come with a new addition to the house. Whit’s conflict with the “Let’s Get Together Festival” intensifies as his shop is vandalized. Jason helps Connie solve the mystery of the old trunk. And strange goings-on in an area called Hangman’s Hollow draw Jay’s attention.

Plot

This plot section is too short and should be expanded. »

Discussion Questions

  1. Why were some kids jealous of Buck? What kinds of homes did they come from?
  2. Who do you think vandalized Whit’s End and why? Why is Whit reluctant to accuse anyone or jump to conclusions?
  3. Jason told Whit that “people are getting militant about their opinions, and they’re more than happy to trounce those who get in their way.” Can you share something you’ve seen like that in the world? What opinions are people getting “militant” about?
  4. Whit said, “I’ve never been afraid to stand up for what I believe.” Have you ever been afraid to stand up? Why?
