Saturday, February 24, 2018, starts with Edie discovering John's latest overnight, four-digit-word-count email, which Jeremy uses to further decode the beautiful, damaged soul. Ahead of Edie's first phone call with her new family, Jeremy explains how she eschewed Justin's offer to serve as their father's translator, opting instead to navigate the sometimes disturbing jungle of John's words. She chooses to take on the responsibility of getting to know her father firsthand, and Jeremy takes the listener along for the insane trip.
We spend the first few minutes of the midday call getting to know Justin and his young daughter, Hadley, before they hand the phone to John. He does at least ninety percent of the talking for the remainder of the five-hour conversation. Jeremy compares the experience to the Three-eyed Raven in Game of Thrones imparting "the entire knowledge of the world at once" unto Brandon Stark. Edie has more trust in John's memory regarding Fran after their phone call, given his ability to recall copious details from decades ago. In closing, she informs John and Justin, "You are beautiful people and I love that you are in my life!"
