Summary

When’s the last time you gave someone a second chance? When does someone deserve that second chance? Kathleen is wrestling with this issue herself right now and has some tips on when you should let someone back in and when you should cut them loose. Then, Bethany tells a very creepy (true!) story about three men who disappeared from their lighthouse duties, never to be found again.
