Kenny is devastated when Rufus stops playing with him, since Rufus and Cody are the only people with whom Kenny feels truly comfortable. With everyone else, he feels like he has to look at them sideways, using the technique Byron taught him of hiding his lazy eye. With Rufus and Cody, though, Kenny feels like he can just be himself, so the idea of no longer having them as friends is deeply upsetting. Thankfully for him, though, Wilona recognizes just how important Rufus is to Kenny, so she helps them patch things up, thus giving Kenny the understanding and support that a dedicated parent can provide. Rufus quickly accepts Kenny’s apology, again showing his compassionate nature.
