It's morning at the Abbott House. Ephram, who has slept on their couch, is awakened by both his cell phone and Patch Abbott's cheerful yammering. Amy comes downstairs and apologizes to Ephram about her dad being the "definition of a morning person." She asks if he slept okay, and says he can stay as long as he wants. Patch says he's not sure that's such a good idea -- he spoke with Treat the night before, and Ephram's father is very concerned. Ephram suggests they file that under "too little, too late." Patch says he promised he'd say something. Ephram says it's fine, he's not staying long anyway, and thanks Patch for letting him crash. Patch tells Ephram he's welcome, and adds, "Should anyone care for a tofu scramble, I'll be in the kitchen." Amy asks her weirdo boyfriend how he really is, and Ephram claims to be not just a wreck, but a tired wreck, and says he can't stop thinking about how Madison must have told Treat she was pregnant. He says three days ago he was in New York, and his life was perfect, but things were obviously going way too well. He tells Amy she's the only person he can trust right now. Amy says she just wants to help, but doesn't really know what to do. Ephram says he has to figure it out on his own. Amy leans her head on his shoulder and asks what he's going to do. Ephram: "I don't know. But I've got to do something." Oh, the DRAMA. Credits.
When we come back, Nina's having coffee with Treat. She's all, "So all this happened a year ago, and now you're like, 'Hi let's have coffee my son got his girlfriend pregnant and he thinks I ruined his life.' Huh." Treat says he should have told her sooner. Nina says, to be honest, she's a little grateful to have been out of the loop on this one, but it must have been awful for Treat to carry this all around by himself. Treat says it was, but he's fine now; he could wallow in self-pity, but what would be the point? Nina: "Oh, you don't need a point to wallow. That's the beauty of the wallow." Heh. Treat says he spent way too much time worrying about Ephram last year, and now he wants to refocus by catching up on what's going on in Delia's life. He also wants to catch up with Nina, and asks her if they can have dinner. Nina says she can't, as it's "Movie Night with Jake and Sam." They make a plan for the next night, but then Nina remembers that Dimples got them concert tickets. Treat says he had no idea that she and Dimples had gotten that serious. Nina says they've just been hanging out a lot, but it's no big deal. Uh-huh. She leaves for work. Treat drinks his coffee alone, alone, alone.
