Ava's getting ready for prom when Theresa comes in and (in a conciliatory manner, I will say) tells her she doesn't care what she does as long as she pushes herself, but Ava cuts her off and tells her she knows, and she will, but for tonight, she'd like to focus on having fun with her friends rather than think about adult things like, say, the IRS. Makes perfect sense to me, so I'm not sure why Theresa's face greets this news like Ava just told her she's in the family way, but at that moment the doorbell rings...

...and as Daniella calls that "he" is there, we cut to outside, where there's a white stretch job parked in the driveway. It's Brent from Brunswick, the dude whom Patrick almost made lose control of his bodily functions a few episodes ago, and poor guy, he was probably steeling himself for days to deal with Patrick answering the door, and instead it's Ed. Hee. Ed gravels, "Brent, from Brunswick," which is probably not helping his digestive system any, but he manages to step inside and even stick out a hand for "Mr. Leary" to shake, which he does with no broken bones involved. Ava then appears at the top of the stairs in a short, off-white dress with patterned silver lamé, I think, on top, and Patrick breathes that she looks like a movie star (she kind of does) and seems like he's ready to cry (aw). He snaps a photo of the couple, and then Ed takes the camera so Patrick can get in, along with Theresa and Daniella, for a group shot. Once he's snapped the photo, Ed's face falls, presumably in reaction to his desire for a family like the one in front of him...
