 The family prepares for the worst funeral of their lives. Ruth makes things worse on David by taking out her pain on him until he stands up for himself, and Nate makes things worse for Brenda by reminding her she had the chance to marry Joe if she doubted him. Claire, troubled by the fact that mainly negative memories come to mind, again finds comfort in Ted, who explains that it s not unusual. In the middle of the preparations, Keith gets an emergency call from Roger to remove a breaking-and-entering actor...who reveals Roger taped their affair as he promised he wouldn t, so Keith quits working for him. David has no other business so concentrates on the funeral to keep himself together, especially after a brutal insult from his father, who dodges the question on whether he had favoritism among his children but openly condemns David s gayness. Ruth s pain increases when learning it s a green burial so helps David in order to see the body. At the private burial, David is terrified when he imagines he s attacked by an orange-sweatshirt-clad character in the car and suffers another panic attack, so doesn t help. Ruth gets some comfort with Bettina s visit and, after the funeral, with Brenda s request for her to watch Maya until she can recover from her own pain...and anger.
