After Paul Stone was admitted to hospital following a lightning strike, his parents and grandmother arrived at the hospital to see him.
While his wife showed more concern for their son, Mr. Stone shouted at his comatose son for getting himself into that state as he had worried his mother before apologizing for any trouble he may have caused Ted and Dougal and said it would have been better if he had died, which shocked Ted, showing that not even his father can stand him.
