Even his father, who can't manage his own love life, is determined to "impart his wisdom" regarding theirs. Tucker's not listening to any of it. He just needs to clear Mary Elizabeth's name. But in the end, he'll confront a mystery even more confusing than murder: how the heart makes room for forgiveness and a new start.
