Forgiveness Should Be Earned

Ramon ( George DelHoyo ) taught Eddie toxic maleness , while Helena ( Paula Marshall ) is emotionally manipulative , and both parent care less about Eddie ’s mental health than they do about using their grandson , Christopher ( Gavin McHugh ) , as a second luck at parenting . Now that Eddie has moved to Texas , Ramon and Helena ’s posterior motives could come to unhorse if9 - 1 - 1would just practice to its word-painting . Not every character has to be a hoagie , and that ’s okay .
