Synopsis

Ed sought out Dr. Fleischman, hoping he could assist in persuading his uncle, a man of traditional tribal healing, to accept modern medical care for his ailing health. Maggie, ever the independent spirit, gently rebuked Joel for his dependence and lack of initiative within their home. Chris, in a moment of thoughtlessness, provoked Maurice's displeasure by reciting verses of Walt Whitman, inadvertently revealing details about the poet’s life that Maurice would rather keep concealed.
