'A Million Little Things' Season 2 Episode 17: Sophie finally forgives Eddie and takes her to Jon's grave
Spoiler alert for 'A Million Little Things' Season 2 Episode 17 'One Year Later'
It has been a year since Jon Dixon (Ron Livingston) tragically jumped to his death. A lot has changed over the course of the year — the group hasn't been able to fully move on from losing their dearest friend but more importantly, Jon's wife Delilah (Stephanie Szostak) and Eddie Saville (David Giuntoli) came clean about their affair to not just the group but also to their children.
Before they did though, Delilah had spent a long time contemplating whether to tell the truth or not. This was far from the easiest thing to do because the truth could threaten their relationship with their children.
Which it did. Delilah's younger son Danny (Chance Hurstfield) was kinder than her older daughter Sophie (Lizzy Greene), who had spent three months revolting against Delilah. But it is only recently that Sophie forgave her mother.
The breach of trust affected Eddie's relationship with Sophie too, who refused to forgive Eddie even after Delilah made amends with her. This lead to their guitar classes being discontinued — after Sophie broke Eddie's guitar or two. In fact, Sophie even stopped playing music since she was told of the truth.
During this time, Eddie was also battling with his own conscience — since Jon's death, Eddie hasn't been able to bring himself to visit his grave — how can he expect Jon to forgive him?
When Sophie hears this, tired of staying angry, she takes Eddie to the graveyard so he can pay respects. And this where they reconcile. After asking for forgiveness from Jon, Eddie makes Sophie listen to the last voicemail message Jon had left him — "Love each other".
Even in his death, Jon is bringing this group, this family, closer together.
'A Million Little Things' airs on Thursdays at 10/ 9c on ABC.
