- Yeah.

TOM: Hey. You're Maggie's friend.

- I'm Tom.
- Gary.

Grape soda. How vintage.

I thought I'd... drop off a little care package.

It can't be easy staring down another round of treatment.

Nope.

Every day, you push away more and more of Dad.

I want to remember him.

Why... Why don't you?

I don't know where we go from here.

I'm still trying to figure out how we got here.

I could blame it on you and Delilah, but the truth is, we were broken long before that.

I'm making apple snacks for Theo's play, and I got lemon juice in my fret finger.

Fret finger?

No, that's not a thing.

[LAUGHS]

Okay, guys, not helping.

- I need a win here.
- Wait, wait.

H-How... How is this your fault again?

The whole reason Katherine's not the primary parent is 'cause she's had to work crazy hours ever since my band imploded, and I don't know if you guys are aware, but we're not in a great place right now.

Well, was that before or after you slept with other members of our friend group?

- Wow.
- Yeah, I know.

But Katherine has done nothing but support me, and I want to support her.

And you think getting her to a second-grade play is gonna make up for years of alcoholism and infidelity?

You might want to check your math on that.
