Fifi warns her father that Gianna (Mommy) finds him a nuisance and may kick him out. Gianna and Frankie debate his past, but Gianna relents because he is Fifi's biological father. Fifi pleads she will take care of him and even offers to fix his appearance; Gianna half-jokes he could be a son or a pet, then allows him to stay with strict rules: behave and listen to Fifi and Gianna. He agrees. After a lingering touch, he is unsettled by unexpected feelings and asks, "Were we really in love before?" That question hangs over the fragile new arrangement.
