Relationships
Mr. Covington
Mr. Covington is Joel's oldest brother. They have an estranged relationship due to the fact that the older brother decided to branch out on his own and leave the family business to his two younger brothers. However, Mr. Covington says he can't give up on them and he knows if he needs help and calls them, they will come to his aid. Their relationship begins to improve with your advice.
Mr. Covington mentions that Joel picked him as his best man at the latter's wedding, which caused arguments with Gavin.
Gavin
Gavin is Joel's older brother. They have had issues with each other since they were younger, but when their oldest brother quit the family business and started his own furniture company, Joel and Gavin's issues became worse. As their father grooms Gavin to take over the family business, Joel feels he needs to help because he thinks Gavin is irresponsible. If you have both of them experience the pain of labor through a tens unit at your birthing class, you can have them say something nice about the other. Joel says that Gavin is the creative one in their family, and Gavin is appreciative of Joel coming to his aid to make sure he doesn't mess up too badly.
In the beginning, they talk to each other about asking their father to adjust their jobs in the family company. They keep postponing the talk with Jebediah because they find the idea terrifying and think it is easier and safer to maintain the status quo instead. Eventually, they admit the truth to their father, who does not appear to hate the idea as much as they thought he would.
