Chance and Greg have to meet Madeline (Vera Miles), Tish's mother and Chance's estranged ex-wife, who divorced Chance when Tish was about five, because she saw Jack Lomax break his back in a fire and end up in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, and she couldn't live with the possibility of the same thing happening to Chance. Chance and Madeline come to the realization that Tish isn't Madeline, she has a lot of her father's qualities too, including being able to stand the idea of the danger Greg is involved in. Plus, Greg and Tish are adults, there's nothing they can do about it.

Added DiffLines:
* BrakeAngrily: Tish comes back from the fire in Venezuela to Houston to ask her mother (who is terrified of oil fires) to ask Chance to come out to the oil well fire to try and extinguish it, only to slam on the brakes while driving from the airport when her mother tells her Jack Lomax has already asked him. She can't be seen doing this, as it would make Greg look weak, so she then immediately backs up in traffic, as she turns around - almost causing an accident - so she can get back on the next flight to Caracas.
