Now that Liberty and Duncan are finally getting married, Hank has started making comments in front of Sonny, pretending to be a loving father but really just planting seeds of doubt.

Serenity couldn't help but feel angry, but she held her tongue in front of Sonny.

“Aunt loves you the most too, Sonny.” Sonny hesitated for a moment, then quietly said, “Dad asked me if Mom was going to marry Uncle Duncan.

He was worried that if Mom had a baby with Uncle Duncan, she wouldn’t love me anymore.” He looked up at Serenity, his voice wavering.

“But I don’t believe what Dad says.
