__**Summary**__

During our second meeting, we discussed many things from this section. We all agreed that Hank and James' relationship is something special. They have a unique bond and Hank is the only one James can turn to at this point. Lilly reveals an important person in her life, her grandmother, to James. They begin to share a significant affiliation. James was starting to hit rock bottom and we could all relate to that feeling in our lives.
