To the 1980s: From Scorned to Cherished - Episode 12

When Jessie secretly brings my mother into the couple's home to make the marriage work and let Harkins focus on work, a calm domestic scene turns into confrontation. Mom apologizes for past mistakes, accepts braised pork and praises Jessie's change. Jessie insists the move will restore family life. Harkins, recalling that Jessie once picked on Mom in the countryside, panics and demands she leave because he wasn't told. I try to calm him, but he storms off. A desperate "Wait, Harkins!" ends the episode with the household split and the decision unresolved.
