1987 (#21) - The feelings for Christine, the shyness and the alcoholism of Phillip Jr

As the days passed at the Chancellor's estate, Christine increased her relationship and friendship with Phyllip Jr, opening herself completely to the boy. Christine, of course, also ends up telling him that her sparkling story with Danny isn't actually as happy as it might seem. Beyond the brief and innocent flirtation with Nina, which Christine easily puts aside, both the fragility of the girl in this period and the prompt reaction of Danny, who has always said that he is nothing more than a simple confidant for the girl, in fact, the relationship between the two is repeatedly questioned because of the increasing number of Danny's musical commitments, which due to frequent tours ends up neglecting Christine more and more. Phillip Jr, then, begins to cultivate new hopes for the girl; but despite this, Phillip Jr feels he needs to take courage and decides, to do so, to rely on the most wrong thing he can do, which is to drink. Soon Jill realizes that Phillip Jr. is starting to have a problem with alcohol and obviously accuses Katherine, who is responsible for raising the boy in the worst way. Christine, meanwhile, unaware of Phillip Jr.'s problem, gets closer and closer to Jill's son, which annoys Danny a lot. When he confronts Phillip Jr., telling him to stay away from his girlfriend, Phillip Jr., scared, decides to get carried away by alcohol and get drunk. Christine finds the boy almost unconscious and immediately takes him to the emergency room. Immediately alerted both Jill and Katherine, the two women rush to the emergency room and, together with Christine, convince the boy to go to Alcoholics Anonymous..
