However, Welby has to deal with Behrman's stubborn father who believes that, given a job with the family's warehousing business and a little love, the attacks will go away. It takes the father - and Kiley, who disagrees with Welby's handling of the matter - witnessing one of his son's episodes to make him realize that his son needs help.
