When
Matthew shows up at Grace's and announces he's about to marry Joan,
a woman old enough to be his mother who also happens to be pregnant,
Grace tries to keep her cool, especially when Matthew tells her
his adoptive mother has no objections. But when Grace speaks to
Emily, she learns that the only reason she didn't object was that
Matthew seemed so adamant about marrying this woman. As the wedding
day gets nearer, Joan confesses to Grace that although she definitely
wants the baby, she doesn't want to marry Matthew in spite of how
determined he seems to go through with the marriage. When Grace
confronts Matthew about Joan's feelings, Matthew says he wants to
marry Joan because he won't abandon this child. Grace understands
that Matthew feels on some level that he himself was abandoned by
her, and she tells him that he can still be very much a part of
the baby's life without marrying the baby's mother.
