Solution

The purple lines are parallel.

Solution by Bob Ruyle.

A Typo: Where it says line F_2’C, that should be line E_2’D. Also, the proof here is for the case in which B and D lie on the same side of the line EC, as shown in the figure. For the case in which B and D lie on opp. sides of line EC, same basic ideas – a very similar proof.
