Knuckles – Ep03 – The Shabbat Dinner
Wade and Knuckles lay low at Wade’s old home in Boise, Idaho, where they are greeted by Wade’s Jewish mother, Wendy Whipple, and his older sister Wanda, an FBI agent. Wendy is overjoyed to see her kids home, having prepared for the family’s traditional Shabbat dinner, but Wade is despondent, due to constant mistreatment from Wanda throughout his childhood. That night, tensions quickly boil between the Whipples, and Knuckles learns about the family customs from Wendy. Wade secludes himself in his room, where Knuckles learns that Wade’s reason for wanting to go to the tournament is because his father, bowling champion “Pistol” Pete Whipple, will be competing. A group of bounty hunters learn of Wade’s wanted status and strike at the house, but Knuckles and the Whipples manage to dispatch them, allowing the family to reconcile as they watch the Shabbat candles dim.
