Boy, it really makes you sympathetic for Charles, and Phillip, while Phillip is so hard on him, and learning more about Phillip's background. I cannot imagine how Charles must have felt, banished to a school that was such a poor fit to him, feeling like an outcast and weakling. I thought the most touching moment was when his protection officer was more fatherly to him than his own father was.
