The Art of the Lie (and Getting Caught)
The episode's title isn't lying (pun intended!). Secrets are bubbling to the surface like a shaken-up soda bottle. Eddie's trying to keep his past under wraps. Not going so well, buddy.
He's dodging questions, making excuses, and basically turning into a master of deception. Except, he's a terrible master of deception. His lies are so transparent, you could see them from space!
Rome Howard, bless his heart, is trying to be supportive. But even he looks like he's thinking, "Dude, just tell the truth!"

Being a single parent is hard enough. Add a layer of secrets and unresolved grief, and it's a recipe for total chaos. This episode emphasizes how strong Delilah has to be.
