Summary
The crunch of the break, the capitulation of the bone. There was something almost biblical about it all. The same hand that brought life, helped birth it into this world, was a hand of violence. “They say that a child born into a burning house thinks the whole world is on fire, and I'm sorry that I was the reason that the world was on fire for you, even if it was only for a short time."
Jean-Luc spends time with baby Wesley, trying to reconcile his guilt over the traumatic birth while helping an overwhelmed Beverly.
