He also meets his former sweetheart Samantha Powell. On the next morning, Hank and his brothers note that their father's car is damaged and Hank goes to the airport to fly back to Chicago. When Hank is on the plane ready to fly, he receives a phone call from Glen telling that their father has been accused of hit-and-run and the victim is Mark Blackwell, a despicable man who was sentenced by Joseph Palmer after killing a teenager.
