Sons reveal dad's absence brings 'peace' to home

Rachel, 54, engaged her sons, Skyler, 14, and Kaius, 12, in a discussion about their home life following Rodger's departure. Kaius shared that the household energy feels more peaceful without his father present, noting his absence is complete. This conversation occurred after Rachel filed for divorce, having been married to Rodger for 26 years before their separation was announced in September 2024. Rachel had filed for divorce in July 2025.

Rachel also addressed Rodger introducing his girlfriend to the boys before they went to camp, an event revealed earlier in the season. Kaius confirmed Rodger presented the woman as a 'friend,' though he understood her true relationship status. Skyler expressed indifference. Rachel informed her sons they have the right to leave if Rodger's girlfriend is present when he is with them. She believes children are better off with separated parents who love them over those who fight.
