Suddenly the King family must come to terms with this tragedy - and with the shameful sense of freedom that comes with it.As Matt gathers Joanie's friends and family to say their final goodbyes, a difficult situation is made worse by the discovery that one person hasn't been told - the man with whom Joanie has been having an affair.
