At the start I was expecting the father to have a more of a background role, perhaps becoming a bit regretful, but ultimately not really be affected by Penelope. I thought that he'd be an obstacle to her, and she would have to manoeuver around him.
I'm really happy with how wrong I was though, it's clear that he's learned what's wrong in his household and decided not only to amend his words, but his actions. He knows now, how alone Penelope is in his manor, and he can't allow anyone else to take over the investigation. No one else can be trusted with his daughter's safety.
