Jake arrives to see Paul Weston. Amy is absent without any explanation. Jake begins telling the doctor how much he is going to miss his son because of the probable divorce because Amy is adamant in going on with the break. Jake feels he wants to be closer to his son, something that might not be the case if he leaves his home.
Paul is given a glimpse at another problem Jake is hiding. When he talks about his own father, a picture emerges of a son that did not have a good relationship with his parents.
