Ed follows her home and as he gets to her house it takes him straight back to his childhood memories. He lies down looking up and Ma comes up asking what is he doing here. Ed wants to know why she mistreats him out of all of her kids and her responds breaks him saying that Ed reminds her too much of his Father because of him always doing good by her and his Dad making a promise that he would give her a better life.

Ed sees Audrey stop by on his front porch and Audrey tells him that she feels like Ed is being distant. So they both spend togehter at his place getting drunk.
