Zeke is awesome in the way that he could get Victor to agree to work on rebuilding his car with the stipulation that he Victor reads from the car manual to help him because he can't "see" as well. Sure, that may be somewhat true, but the objective here is to get him reading and to do it because there is an end game, an objective to meet on a personal basis. It's one thing to sit a kid down and force him to read for the sake of read. No kid wants to do that and many don't have the patience to do it if they are already struggle with it. But add in the idea that their reading will benefit them directly in the near future and you have motivation to get you through the hurdles. Zeke is awesome!

I really don't understand how Amber can be so naive and just brush aside that Ryan is hiding something from his past regarding his family. It's most likely that he was disowned. But the fact that she shuts Amber down every time when she tries to get him to open up is a huge red flag and one that should make her seriously question if getting married is the right thing to do. If he won't open up before getting married, what's telling her that he will later? What's telling her that things will get better with him? She's got blinders on and doesn't want to admit defeat.
