[to Annie] Weeks ago, I said Ruthie shouldn't move in with me, but did anybody listen? No. And what happens when nobody listens? [pulls up his shirt to reveal chicken pox] Someone gets hurt!
“See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil” · Season 1, Episode 9
In this episode: Eric (3), Annie Camden (2), Matt (2), Simon (1)
I couldn't move. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't even think.
Those are all normal feelings and reactions.
Not for Mom. She's been so calm about everything, and I just sat there while that piece of junk took all our stuff.
What do you think you should have done?
I don't know. Something. Anything but just sitting there and letting some guy rip off Mom's wedding ring.
You can't blame yourself. Whatever you did, it was perfect. It was perfect because it got you and Mom home safely. And it was just a ring. It wasn't our marriage.
And tell Eric I'm fine.
PPatrica
I have no idea of what you're talking about.
[smiling] How long is Eric planning to work this afternoon?
PPatrica
He'll be done by 6:00.
You wanna call him from here?
PPatrica
No, I'll wait until I get home, so he'll think his plan worked.
I don't know what's wrong with me. I just can't pull it together.
Matt, last night, a man held a gun to your head and threatened your life. Now it would be nearly impossible for anyone to just pull it together.
I just keep thinking about what would have happened if just one thing had been different... if a gust of wind had suddenly kicked up, or a leaf had fallen on his shoulder, that man could have killed my son.
You can't think about what could have been, you have to think about what is. You're ok, and Matt's ok, and God was watching out for you both that night; and you have to have faith that He always will.
I know. You're right. I know you're right. I just don't know how to stop being afraid.
