I really love Brun in this. In her straightforward way, she really is concerned about Clinton and wants to help. "You have to be honest" is her way of saying that she really wants to help but that he has to open up for her to do so. She has a different way of handling the universe than most but, in the end, her reactions are human and, frankly, sweet by her own lights.
I kind of feel sorry for Clinton. I think everyone has a story of the asshole close family member that they prefer not to think about but this one is, as I said yesterday, clearly one that left scars that aren't going away any time soon.
I also wonder if Mr A will be making a return at some point, maybe to object to Claire's engagement simply because he wants to continue to exercise power over his children's happiness.

Tova:
So, I don't think that anyone has missed the point that Clinton has an unresolved issue. On the other hand, what I haven't seen mentioned yet is the complete ease with which Clinton was able to discuss it, with people he has only relatively recently met, on the barest of pretexts (the mere mention of raisins). Compare that with the difficulty Faye before he finally spilled the beans in the famous discussion with Marten. I'm not trying to compare the issues themselves, but the ease with which both characters find themselves willing to discuss them to any degree.
Does this mean that Clinton has already worked through it to some degree, or that the issue is currently festering and he now feels (consciously or otherwise) a strong need to expose it to the light? Either way, it will be interesting to see if this revelation brings any of these characters a little closer to each other.

Dang Brun, how long had you been working "with a nautical theme"?
I don't know why, but Brun is one of my favorites. probably because she's generally a sweetheart. Doesn't always know how to people, but that's OK. I don't either.
