The Hero Business - Part 6


Listen Later

Eric’s heroic deeds have reintroduced his long estranged foster brother into his life, and while his relationship with Molly deepens, his life of solitude and habit is becoming an increasingly distant memory. At the same time his new doctor is seeking a deeper understanding of his strength and his weaknesses.


After leaving a session with his doctor, Eric encounters a young woman on the bus that appears to need his help. He embarks on a rescue that ends tragically but commands popular media attention in the aftermath focused more on his notoriety than his desire to help. 


Heroism invites conflicted scrutiny. Good deeds often come with a consequence.
