Eugene can see that Cliff won't try as hard to change if it's not for him, so he accepts Cliff's help. He knows its dangerous to be in such close quarters, but thinks he can make it work!

I think with regards to Cliff wearing a crucifix, he put it on in the morning, and lost confidence in his decision when Eugene points it out. He thinks Eugene will think he's fake, or silly. In truth he's just conflicted! Eugene is excited about it, though, it strengthens his resolve to help Cliff become more faithful. Personally there's not that much joy in reading a relationship where it's All pull, I want it to be a push and pull. I think if Cliff was clearly just trying to be a bad influence, Eugene wouldn't get involved half as much. But because he can see such potential there, he's hooked...

I think about the "Are you this helpful at home?" panel waaaay too much. I love it when Eugene puts up a fight it's so cute <3

Father Eugene finds his quiet, closeted life thrown off balance when troublemaker Cliff starts attending church, with questionable motives. Eugene wants to bring the lost sheep back into the fold, even if he risks losing himself to temptation. But could the reward be worth the cost?
