With the weight of the world already on his shoulders, Paddy then has another problem to deal with when his illiterate father asks him to read a letter from his mum. Lying about what the letter says, Paddy then panics that Bear will eventually find out what he's done! What's Paddy trying to hide?

But given their recent encounter we all know that's not true! How long until she caves in again?
