Upstairs, Joan is tearing her room apart, pulling clothes out of everywhere and tossing them on the floor in a pile. She's wearing a plain long-sleeved t-shirt, dark jeans, and her hair's in a sloppy ponytail. She's not wearing any makeup. Kevin comes to her door and asks what happened. Joan says she's spring cleaning: "Did Mom send you up here to make sure I'm not nuts?" Kevin: "No, I don't think there's any doubt about that." He wants to know why Beth is all over him, and asks if Beth has talked to Joan. As Joan empties a drawer of cosmetics into a paper bag, she wonders why Beth would talk to her. Kevin says she's snooping around, talking to their mother. Joan: "Maybe she just wants to be your friend. Pretty cool of her, considering." Kevin responds angrily: "Considering what? She never came to see me after the accident, and now she's feeling guilty?" Joan looks surprised, and says Beth came to the hospital every day to see how he was doing: "She wasn't allowed in the ICU. When she knew you were okay, she kinda took off." Even if Kevin's memory of this time is fuzzy or nonexistent, which isn't hard to believe at all, wouldn't his family have told him, "Beth's here, but she can't come in?" Kevin is pretty stunned. Joan: "You didn't know that?" Kevin says he didn't, and takes off to contemplate his own jackassedness.
