- Hub and Fat run away from their grandmother's home to get back to their mom.
- In North Bridge, Honey and Joe are just scraping by. Honey can't find a job but is determined if only for the sake of her family. But she is no where near able yet to reunite her family. In New Bedford, May admits that she sees the arrangement with all three children as being permanent, never giving Honey the children ever again. Despite warming up to their Aunt Grace who personally can relate to the boys' situation, Hub and Fat are rebellious and Hub in particular is defiant. Bob thinks that splitting up the boys would be the best solution, but May is equally adamant that she and Grace can manage the boys. The boys decide to run off, their first choice being back to North Bridge to be with their mother. But when opportunity shows itself, they stow away a ride back to the summer house at Bass Lake. When May and Grace first find that the boys are missing, May is inclined to think that Honey apprehended them. Not wanting to give Bob the satisfaction of an 'I told you so', May instead sends a nervous and timid Grace to North Bridge to confront Honey. When Grace meets with Honey and finds that the boys aren't there, Honey is livid with May about her sons' disappearance. At the lake, the boys manage temporarily to live in the house unnoticed, until Max Sutton, New Bedford School's athletics director, runs into them. News of 'boys' at the house gets back to May, who rushes out to the lake. Max, May and mill workers from across the lake all descend on the house simultaneously just in time as Hub has had a serious accident requiring immediate medical attention and the boys have started a large uncontrolled fire in the house. May comes to the realization that the boys emotionally do need their mother and that Honey is not quite the monster she thought. May decides the best for everyone is for the boys to have bi-weekly visits with their mother and Uncle Joe back in North Bridge.—Huggo
