Wooing Wooton

After six years of silence, Wooton's father Winston suddenly wants him back in the family - all Wooton has to do is show up at a fancy charity auction. There he meets Victoria Jamison, who loves the same underwater singing group he does... but she doesn't share his faith, and Wooton decides that matters more than romance. Then Winston reveals the truth: the meeting was arranged to land a business merger, and marrying Victoria is the price of a place back in the family. Wooton won't trade his convictions, so he saves the deal another way - with Power Boy pictures on cereal boxes. Meanwhile, young Grady scratches an expensive car and hides it, until Wooton's example gives him the courage to confess, even though it could cost his mother her job. Winston leaves town disappointed as ever, but Wooton keeps his faith, keeps loving his father, and consoles himself by singing a Pool Boys song through a bowl of water.

The story

Read the full synopsis 2 min

Wooton nervously meets his father, Winston Bassett, for the first time in six years. Winston orders him to attend a charity auction as a representative of the Bassett family because Wooton's brother is unavailable. Though his father makes the invitation sound insulting, Wooton is thrilled to be included in the family again.

Elsewhere, Grady and his sister accompany their mother to a cleaning job at the Jamison mansion. Their mother warns them not to touch anything, but Grady climbs into an expensive convertible. He accidentally knocks it into gear, scratches its side, and hides the damage rather than confessing.

At the auction, Wooton meets Victoria Jamison when they compete for a rare collection by their favorite underwater singing group, the Pool Boys. Victoria wins the CDs, but she and Wooton discover that they share the same unusual interests and sense of humor. After spending the next day together, Wooton realizes how much he likes her.

Before their friendship becomes romantic, Wooton asks whether Victoria is a Christian. She attended church when she was younger but does not share his faith. Although they are well matched in many other ways, Wooton ends the possibility of dating her because he believes a marriage should unite two Christians in a lifelong commitment.

Winston reveals that he arranged the meeting for business. Victoria's father owns the Good Eatin' Cereal Company, which Winston wants his company to merge with. He pressures Wooton to marry Victoria and even promises him leadership of a charity that could help hungry children. Wooton wants his father's acceptance and admires the charitable opportunity, but he will not trade his convictions for either one.

Wooton's decision helps Grady recognize what he must do about the scratched car. He admits to Winston, who owns it, that he caused the damage. Winston plans to contact the cleaning company even after learning that Grady's mother could lose her job. The consequences frighten Grady, but he has chosen to tell the truth rather than protect himself.

Wooton offers Victoria another way to help both family companies: he can arrange for Power Boy images to appear on Good Eatin' cereal if the companies merge. Victoria agrees to discuss it with her father. She had hoped Wooton would give their relationship a chance, but she respects his convictions and leaves him one treasured Pool Boys recording as a gift.

Grady's mother is not fired, though the repair cost will come from her pay. Her employer also recommends a better, less expensive sitter. She is upset that Grady sought advice at Whit's End before coming to her and warns that she does not share everything Christians are teaching him. Grady, afraid of allowing faith to separate him from his mother as it has separated Wooton from Winston, pulls his Bible out of the trash but remains unsure what to do.

The Power Boy proposal secures the business merger, yet Winston gives Wooton no credit. He leaves town still disappointed in his son and remarks that Wooton could have returned to the family will. Wooton is hurt, but he has neither compromised his faith nor stopped loving his father. Connie stays with him while he consoles himself by singing a Pool Boys song through a bowl of water.
