The Father the Wind Took Away - Episode 8

Simon's birthday starts badly when every classmate cancels and joins Richard's family for a feast. At home his mother promises to celebrate and waits for his father, but the dishes go cold and Dad is absent. At Richard's the children toast; then Dad finally appears. Feeling betrayed, Simon tells his mother, 'he is no longer my father,' and cries out, 'Dad, it hurts.' Later an adult admits they almost forgot the party and rushes in. The episode ends with someone calling, 'Simon! Let's go,' leaving Simon's decision unresolved.
