Eric, like Joyce, believes power and money make the world go round. He loves Candace and his family and is willing to let others die to protect them. But when he finds out that Candace was the victim of Joyce’s reckless driving in the end, he turns viciously on his wife. He knows when to be charming in front of the cameras and when to turn on the threats.
