While Grace has been resting upstairs after their car crashed into the tree, George has come clean with the truth... and it isn't nice. But it seems that these two are not alone in their heartlessness, for Bruce is at the Goldbergs now... deep in a discussion of a story he had read in the papers about people swindling soldiers' relatives.
