This Is Where I Leave You Chapter 29 Summary

How It All Goes Down

  • Judd wakes up at 5:00 AM and climbs to the roof. He hangs out in the little nook where he and his siblings would go when they were teenagers.
  • From the roof, he sees Wendy hustling home from the Callens' house wearing pajamas. Pretty suspicious, if you ask us.
  • A few minutes later, he sees Linda leaving the Foxman home with the same nervous energy. Looks like shenanigans are afoot!
  • Judd takes a shower and—you guessed it—the power dies again. Still dripping wet, he goes down the basement and resets the circuit breaker.
  • However, he forgot one very important equation: water plus electricity equals ouch.
  • Judd passes out. He's taken back to a memory of playing at a park as a child. Lil' Judd is having a grand old time when, out of nowhere, another kid chucks a toy at his face.
  • Luckily, Judd's dad is there. He wipes the blood and tears off his face, comforting him and calling him "Bubbie" (29.6).
  • Judd wakes to Hillary standing over him. They cry and talk about how much they miss Mort.
