This episode is titled “Theogate”…Theo returns home late from a cross-country meet and Clair is confused by the inconsistencies in his explanation. She is further suspicious when the school principal calls the next day. She interrogates Theo and tells him that she expects her children to be honest. The family holds a mock trial to get the bottom of the situation. In the mock trial, Theo confesses that he lied about why he was late, about what happened after the meet, and the fact that he had been kicked off the team.
This was one of those episodes that was filled with learning moments. Knowing that Theo was lying and watching him dig himself deeper in trouble was so interesting. It was great to point out opportunities where Theo could have made better choices with more positive consequences. In the end, we were able to discuss the value that our family places on honesty and trust.
