This Is Where I Leave You Chapter 43

Chapter 43

Judd climbs out to the roof and finds Tracy already there, smoking one of Wendy's cigarettes.
She asks him if Phillip is sleeping with Chelsea. Judd doesn't want to rat out his brother, but he tells her that, given Phillip's taste in women, infidelity is inevitable.
Tracy is sad but thankful for his honesty. She tells Judd that she'll break up with Phillip after the shiva. She will, however, leave him the Porsche.
Channeling her inner therapist, Tracy tells Judd that he needs to have a plan for his life. He can't wear himself ragged trying to find love—he has to become comfortable until it finds him. She heads back inside a few minutes later.
Judd sees Horry's date scurry away from the Callens' house, looking like "she's rushing from something, not towards it" (43.46).
Judd heads to Linda and Horry's home. He finds Horry in the basement having a seizure, and comforts him until the convulsions stop.
Judd heads home and takes a shower. Of course, Alice is sitting on his bed when he gets back to his room.
She apologizes for what happened the other day. Judd tells her that she is putting her marriage with Paul at risk, and she agrees.
