Avril and C.T. know only that Hal drinks; the marijuana is wholly hidden

When: YDAU (2009)
What: Avril and C.T. believe Hal at most drinks a little alcohol (fretting only because JOI and JOI's father drank); Dr. Rusk assures Avril "there's no way someone can seriously abuse a substance and perform at top scholarly and athletic levels." "Avril and C. T. know nothing about Hal's penchants for high-resin Bob Hope and underground absorption" — a fact Hal "obviously likes a lot." Dramatic irony sharpened by Avril's documented "black phobic dread of hiding or secrecy in all possible forms with respect to her sons."
