"Until A Little Light Gets Through"

Will and Helen are getting into bed. Will, master of sensitivity, asks, "Did you like her?" Oy. How many years have you been married to this woman? Can you really not read her even when she's being openly hostile? Helen: "Like her? Will…she's me." Will: "She's you?" Helen: "Yeah. If I were shorter or political and…didn't have, you know, a soul." Will says he can't believe she's threatened by "this woman." Helen says she's not threatened by her. Actually, I'd look into being threatened if I were you, Helen. Word to the wise. As Helen starts looking at the newspaper, she says she just doesn't understand why he tells Lucyfer everything about them. Will denies doing that: "She's my boss. We talk." Helen suddenly says, "Oh, my God." I figure she's just noticed today's date on the newspaper.

Outside, Luke's running around, trying to get his brightly coloured stunt kite in the air. Joan and Grace duck as he darts around, struggling to get it aloft. Not a very windy night, so it's sort of a Charlie Brown birthday, here. As the three of them are trying to figure it out, Luke notices his parents coming out of the house, Helen buttoning her red coat over her pyjamas. Grace and Joan giggle as they throw the kite in the air in futility. Luke walks over to his parents and says, "It's okay," before they can say anything. Helen: "It's not. It's just not." Will says it's his fault. Luke says it doesn't matter, and he appears to really mean it. Helen: "Sweetheart, it does…" Luke: "Okay, it does, but…you know…things came out of it that I didn't see coming. And I'm really happy now. 'Cause, you know…we're all here. And Grace is here. And Joan remembered. And Kevin is okay. And I'm gonna have a lot of birthdays. Besides…now you guys have to buy me a car." His parents laugh and give him a hug, wishing him happy birthday. Dude is so not getting a car, but he sure as hell deserves one. Joan calls out, "Hey, come on, SquarePants. Let's get this thing in the air." Luke runs to try again.
