Gene tells Phineas and Brinker the truth about Leperelli to clear his conscience and confront his guilt about causing Finny's accident. By admitting to his role in Leperelli's breakdown, Gene seeks to take responsibility for his actions and start the process of repentance and reconciliation with his friends. Additionally, Gene may hope that by revealing the truth, he can restore a sense of honesty and authenticity to their relationships.
