Ethan Potter Timeline and Summary

Ethan visits his grandmother Margaret in Florida. He has a series of life-changing events: meeting Nadia, learning about turtles, and seeing The Phantom of the Opera.
Back in Epiphany, he lets Julian sit next to him on the school bus and then protects him from bullying even though he doesn't want to be friends with him AT ALL.
When Julian invites him to a tea party, he brings a totally inappropriate heart-shaped puzzle.
At the tea party, Ethan feels comfortable being himself for the first time ever.
