In The Rocky Road Trip
Lydia chooses to head on the trip with the Graham-Changs instead of heading back to London. However, her mother, Elaine, advises her to visit Gerald at his house in Pueblo. When they stop at his house, Papa Dad reveals his name in the picture (page 65). Lydia tries to spend quality time with him but he is too busy. So, she does something daring and dyes her hair blue with some of Brenna's Kool-Aid and Gerald notices. He gets really mad and calls Elaine to complain to her.
