Part Two

S1, E2: At the beginning of Part Two, James and Wade reach adolescence and find they are no longer in the same "privileged" position, no longer the object of Jackson's seemingly undivided attention. However, they keep their secrets and their loyalty to him, bound by the complicated emotional attachments forged in abuse, leading them both to defend Jackson in 1993 and Wade again in 2005 when allegations of child molestation emerge. As they grow older their emotional turmoil mounts as they struggled to make sense of the past, revealing how the ripples of sexual abuse can manifest themselves decades later. Finally, facing emotional crises, both men reach a point where they are willing to speak the truth to their family members and begin to confront their trauma, trying to understand their complex memories and heal the fractured relationships within their families.
