Heads up to all Council of Dads followers. The drama series inspired by Bruce Feiler’s book “The Council of Dads” is set to air its penultimate episode soon. But what’s going to happen next in season 1 episode 9?
Episode 8 recap
Before delving into the drama that is in episode 9, here’s a quick recap on what happened from the previous episode.
First of all, Luly (Michele Weaver) finally finds out the truth about her father. It’s not Scott (Tom Everett Scott), but instead, it’s Anthony (Clive Standen).

It’s a shocking revelation for Luly and she didn’t even find out from him. Anthony was too coward to face Luly so he left for Vegas.
Fortunately, Luly is a forgiving one and they are most likely going to work on their father-daughter relationship in the future.
In the meantime, he will be away for his work in Vegas, which will give him plenty of time to work on his own baggage. And perhaps, when he returns, he has already figured out how to be the best dad to the Perry children.
Larry (Michael O’Neill) is also in the same boat with Anthony, except the former’s daughter Lauren hasn’t forgiven him. But he’s been trying to be a better man.

He has hurt his family in the past and so now he is doing everything he can to make it up to Lauren. It will take some time before she will forgive him but Larry will persist. It’s all he can do for now.
Meanwhile, Oliver (J. August Richards) and Peter (Kevin Daniels) are adopting another baby. If all goes well, they will be dads to a baby boy. But their adoption opportunity seems to be too good to be true.
There’s most likely going to be a bump ahead and Oliver and Peter may be facing a challenge with regards to the adoption.
Episode 9 spoilers
Council of Dads episode 9 is expected to go even heavier on the drama. There’s a lot of stories going on in the family, which means a lot of emotional ground that needs to be covered too.
For starters, the episode is titled “Stormy Weather.” Although it does pertain to an actual storm coming up in their hometown, it can also be in reference to the family situation.
