Party of Five · Season 3, Episode 20

Joe and Claudia in “Intervention”

[after telling Bailey that their father was also an alcoholic] I'm sorry, Claudia. I didn't know you were standing there.

It's OK. I should know, right? Who my father really was...

That wasn't who he was. It was just a small part of him.

It isn't small. It's everything. He was an alcoholic.

He stopped drinking long before you were even born, Claudia.

But it...it changes everything.

How?

Because I thought I knew him!

You did, sweetie! Everything you remember about your father is still true. He wasn't perfect, Claudia. He made mistakes, he had faults... it didn't make him any less of a person. Just made him human.

So what happened? What made him stop? I wanna know.

Your mom said she'd leave him.

Oh.
