Storyline

Gay bashing street scum has viciously attacked Adam, who could run away but feels guilty, and Peter, who lands in hospital for weeks, badly injured. This stirs the Websters' hurtful remembrance of other son Jimmy dying there from leukemia. And the parents discovering Peter's homosexuality, with somewhat provocative first mate Josh, which they still keep form grandpa, bishop Bertram, who had to cope with his wife's rising senility. Daniel wrestles with despair but manages to preach hope and faith in comforting love. Police friend Marcus gets him five minutes with a caught adult perpetrator, a contractor.
