At Grandpa's birthday the family reunites at the old house when Charon returns early, and tensions flare over Shirley: relatives whisper she's ordinary yet someone thanks another, saying, "I just want to thank you for helping me take care of my fiancée." Rain threatens, so Shirley agrees to stay and a nervous promise to sneak back if thunder comes prompts awkward sleeping arrangements. Later, an argument over orchids—copying Laura, class assumptions, and ownership of purchases—escalates into sharp insults. The episode closes when someone notices a man's sitting posture that matches "the man from that night," leaving a new suspicion unresolved.
