   Summary

   After the invasion, CJ did his best to adjust to this past version of his family.

   To do so, he mostly chose to observe them from the sidelines to understand their dynamic.

   In doing so, he noticed just how much everyone relied on Donnie.

   From security to the greenhouse, and including medicine and finances, Donnie seemed to be the main provider.

   While everyone treated this situation as normal, CJ felt it was important to remind them why they should not depend on one person to handle everything.

   For the sake of the family, and especially for Donnie.
