Movie night. Tim is on the couch in the middle of a sleeping Neighbor Lady/sleeping Little Sandy Duncan sandwich. He picks Little Sandy up to carry him to bed, as guitar strings of inappropriateness sound. Neighbor Lady wakes up, and watches him do this. She walks right up into Tim's business and gazes into his eyes, but when he leans in to kiss her she pulls away in horror and tells him he's a kid and then barks, "Go home, Tim. Go home!"Jason is home, packing away his trophies from his parent's living room. Lyla comes in and is pissed that she hasn't known where he's been. Jason tells her he didn't make the team and she's sympathetic for a minute, but then narrows her eyes and, focusing on moving their break-up storyline along, demands to know how he got back to Dillon. He says that Susie gave him a ride, and Lyla gets her BitchFace on (which I love), saying she remembers Susie. Jason, too quickly, says nothing happened. BitchFace purses her lips: "Happened? What could happen?" and then, shrilly, wonders what could have happened during a ride with a cute girl who is really into him. Jason tells her that things have been tough and confusing. Lyla is not one to miss a chance to remind everyone about her dirty sex life and so asks if he thinks it's okay to have an affair just because she did, "because it's not, Jason. It's not." Jason reminds her that he didn't have an affair. The natural lighting in this scene bathing Scott Porter's face reminds all of us viewers that he is not a teenager. Lyla demands to know if Jason still wants to be engaged to her, and he answers, "I don't know." Way to advance the plot, show!
At the Garrity house. Pam opens the door and finds her nasty husband at the door. She tries to close the door on him, but he stops her and then presents her with the "really special" photo album. He tells her that Lyla helped put it together. She glances at it and tells Buddy to shove it. Everyone cheers. She tells him that he has made the family a laughingstock and that she's even considered leaving town. She slams the door on him and turns on Lyla, who is standing on the stairs behind her. She points her finger at her daughter and asks her not to take sides. Lyla swears she isn't, but Pam thinks she is. Lyla gets angry and says that her mom can at least talk to her father, as he only made one mistake. Pam is quiet for a second, Buddy's shadow lurking outside the schlocky etched glass of their front door. Buddy begs and pleads to get let back in while Pam and Lyla fight inside. Lyla insists again that Buddy just made one mistake until Pam erupts and tells Lyla that he's been unfaithful their entire marriage. Lyla is confused, and Pam just keeps shouting that she's sorry but then turns toward the door and shouts to Buddy that she knows about his last secretary and on and on. It's really depressing. Pam stalks off, and then Buddy whimpers outside to Lyla to "let Daddy in." Lyla opens the door and screams one word to her father: "LEAVE."
