You would think that his wife at least would be able to recognize it was him, weird that even she thought he was some stranger. Anyways, that whole situation was kind of . . . dumb. I mean way too dramatic over the fact he had to bake a cake using someone else's recipe, why would it matter? Surely just making some random cake in exchange for someone's life (anyones to be honest), but especially your son's life, is worth it.
