Redeeming 6

Joey finally gets out of rehab, but with the stipulation that he finish school at Tommen. Edel picks him up and tells him his siblings are ecstatic to see him, especially Shannon, who has started dating Johnny seriously. Joey doesn’t tell Aoife he is getting out of rehab today because he wants to surprise her. Edel tells Joey she has told the children about Aoife’s pregnancy, and they are all excited.

Although she’s not due for another three weeks, the doctor tells Aoife that she might deliver in the next 24 hours. Casey comes to see her after the appointment, and she and Trish reassure Aoife that Joey is still going to find her attractive when he comes home.

Joey has Edel drop him off at Aoife’s house before going to see his siblings, but Aoife and Trish are out getting pedicures. Tony answers the door. Joey says he is clean, but Tony slams the door on him. A few seconds later, he opens it again and tells Joey he let him down. Joey is hurt—Tony is the only true father figure he has known, but he knows Tony’s disappointment is warranted. Tony asks Joey to prove him wrong, and Joey promises he won’t leave Aoife or their child.
