- Ted's at work. It's quittin' time, and they're having a party for some dude who's been there for five years. Jim tries to get Ted to stop by, but Ted says he's already late to pick up Billy.
- Ted shows up 20 minutes late to pick up Billy from a birthday party. Billy's steamed. All the other mothers were there before Ted, he says.
- Back at home, Ted and Billy eat TV dinners—at the dinner table, not in front of the TV, which makes them extra-sad. Billy's still mad.
- Ted reads the paper while they eat. Ted's happy the Knicks finally won a game. Billy says he prefers Boston because Mommy's from Boston, then he asks to be excused so he can go to bed.
- Ted tidies up. It's quiet. He goes into Billy's room to put his toys and clothes away. Billy's asleep. He finds a framed photo of Joanna hidden away in the top drawer of Billy's dresser. He takes it out and puts it on top of the dresser, then tucks Billy in like an adorable blonde burrito.
