Reply To: The Searcher: What is Cal doing in Ireland?
I love everyone’s answers. I think Cal sees himself as a protector – of his ex-wife, daughter and community. When he’s made to question his actions, he is thrown into self-doubt. So he goes to Ireland in search of a fresh start without complications and to assess what has happened and to collect his thoughts. Perhaps he doesn’t want to confide in his friends because he doesn’t think they can help him. Perhaps there are other reasons. Ultimately his move to Ireland is a positive one and, as Susan astutely says, he heals.
