   Summary

   When Ponyboy has his depressive episode after Johnny's death, Darry and Soda are desperate to find any solution that will bring their brother back to them. They remember how much Pony used to like going to church, and reach out to his old pastor in the hopes he can help. The pastor quickly identifies the problem: Pony was in love with Johnny, and homosexuality is a sin. Fix the root sin, and the rest of the problems will go away. Right?
