Judy leads Gene into the TV room and announces to the kids that he's going to watch his program now. She flips the channel to baseball, and then heads into the living room to join the other adults. Betty starts by saying that Gene seems well, but reproaches William for apparently having been unaware for some period of time that Gloria was gone and Gene was alone. William tells her Gene lied to him for a while because he was ashamed, and while Judy has been successful in getting through to him, he's angry and "in and out." He suggests a nursing home halfway between them they could put Gene in, and adds that he and Judy would even sell their house to pay for it. Betty, however, sees right through her brother (although I didn't transcribe it when I recapped it, her comment to him that he should "Stop counting other people's money" was in the previouslies, a sentiment that was echoed last week when Don opined William "never tires of putting his name on other people's things") and accuses him of scheming to get his hands on their parents' house. Judy is so horrified that she has to leave the room, but it's not like William denies it as he asks what, then, the solution is. You probably will not be surprised that at Minute 25 they do not resolve this question.
