How It All Goes Down
- After mentioning a holiday gathering at her mother's house, Eva returns to the past.
- Eva's also returning from Africa. She promises Kevin to never leave again.
- Kevin clearly doesn't care.
- Franklin, Eva, and Kevin stop at a restaurant, where Kevin shows Eva a new trick he learned: to go "NYEE-nyeh nyeh-nyeh, nyeh nyeh-nyeh nyeh-nyeh-nyeeeh" (12.47) to everything she says. Lovely. That sounds like a quote from the latest Adam Sandler movie.
- Kevin also makes fun of the waitress. Franklin thinks it's funny, but Kevin's behavior is driving Eva crazy.
- When Kevin won't stop the mocking, Eva slaps him.
- Franklin is not happy. "Violence is no way to get your point across" (12.80), he tells Eva.
- When they leave the restaurant, Franklin has a surprise for Eva: he bought them a house while she was gone.
