On Sunday after church, Lisa arrives at the house and tells Dad that she met Julius at the bakery, but Mrs. B has already told him. Robert Jr. and Hilary get to the home and Robert Jr. tries to get advice from Dad, but Dad tells him the damage has already been done. Sam brings in some fish that he cooked and asks Mother to try it. After she takes a bite, Robert Jr. takes a bite and brings up how Sam's restaurant failed. Sam and Robert Jr. start to argue and Dad stops them from fighting. Lil Sam yells that dinner is ready and at dinner, Dad starts off by giving thanks followed by the rest of the family. Alex announces that she and Sam are going to open another restaurant. Robert Jr. gets up to get some wine and he goes back to the table and raises a toast to Sam and Alex and says may their new restaurant not be like their old one and that it be a success. A fight breaks out in the kitchen between Robert Jr. and Sam. Dad tells Robert that he needs to see Pastor Simmons and Dr. Daniels in order to sort out his problems. Dad then tells Mother that Hilary told Robert she wants a divorce. Dad tells Robert to use his anger to build something and then Robert leaves.

Six months later, Dad says he wants to barbecue again.
