Later Justin and Sarah are loitering around Nora's kitchen. Justin is telling Sarah about his new best friend Zack, who didn't punch his lights out but could at a moment's notice. Justin explains that he feels a kinship with Zack because they are both veterans and even though Zack doesn't think this makes them brothers in arms, Justin does. Sarah nods pretending to understand and/or care but she is really eyeing Justin's muffin (not a euphemism) and she finally lunges and grabs. Justin complains to Nora about Sarah's bad manners, but Nora doesn't care because she didn't make the muffins, Brody did. Sarah directs Nora to fill in Joaquin's baby book before Paige gets back, but it's too late. Paige has returned from a dog walk with fake Grandpa Brody determined to get a dog. Based on their experience with Joaquin, Sarah doesn't think the family is fit for dog ownership.
Tommy and Rose join the gaggle of Walkers populating the kitchen. Rose doesn't look happy, but neither would you if you were wearing the shirt and jacket combo she has on. Good lord, woman, bake the wardrobe ladies a muffin basket! Get them on your side! Tommy has an announcement and he doesn't want his mom to freak out about it: He got a job! No, a different job. Sarah looks confused. Tommy explains that he is going to be the manager of a baseball team in Phoenix, no experience, interview, or job skills necessary! Nora blames Brody, then Sarah. Rose is firmly Team Walker on this one; she does not think that Tommy should move to Phoenix, especially because he didn't seem to take her into consideration at all. He's a dick, Rose! Ditch him! Go back to your life in Seattle! Am I the only all for this job? I would be so happy to have Tommy and his dead-behind-the-eyes stare and bobble-headed body far, far away from my TV screen.
Meanwhile, Paige has wandered into the pantry and emits an earsplitting shriek. She has discovered the gruesome remains of Joaquin who sacrificed his life for a delicious batch of wholesome whole wheat muffins. Everyone politely spits out the muffinly remains of Joaquin Whedon, as Nora once again blames Brody. Sarah tells her she feels super bad, but the grownups are kind of in the middle of some grown up talk. Paige runs off crying while Justin spits muffin bits out of his mouth begging someone to explain what is wrong with the muffins. Sarah sends Justin after Paige so she can explain and let the grown ups finish their conversation.
