After commercials, we're at the Chieftain, where Sam and Jane have reunited. Ben tells Jane he really likes her perfume, but Sam informs him that it's his "soothing after-shave balm." "You smell like apples, man," says Ben, but Sam defiantly says that they'll see who's laughing in five years, when Sam still has his baby face. Jerome rolls up, asking Sam whether he caught anything today; Jerome saw his boat going out earlier. Sam, turning to Jane, sternly asks what the answer is, and she stammers that she still has some work to do on the knots. She kindly doesn't add that Sam still has some work to do on his toenails.
Marin's shooting pool when Jack enters. She challenges him to a game, but he says he's not up to it -- at least, until she trash-talks him about his last loss to her, and he cheerfully gives in. Ben comes over with a couple of beers for them, and asks Jack whether they're going to let the doctor tell them. Jack's all, "Jigga-what?" Ben says Theresa told him about the ultrasound the next day, and that they could find out the sex of the baby, asking whether it's weird that he really wants to know. Jack vaguely says that if they find out, they'll tell him, and Ben takes off. This whole time, Marin's been smiling serenely but not really inserting herself in the conversation, so Jack says he knows she's thinking it's weird that he isn't going to this appointment. Marin says she wasn't going to say that, and quietly tells him to break. Jack's all, "I shouldn't be talking to you about this. Let's just play." Marin tells him that she might not be one of the guys, but that she is a friend; he can talk to her. Given the least encouragement, Jack unburdens himself, saying that Lynn is worried that he's only halfway committed. Marin says she supposes you can't do that when there's a baby involved, but Jack says it's his experience that you can't half-ass it in any relationship. Marin smiles that it's "all or nothing" with him. Well, all, nothing, or whatever the hell these two are doing with the flirting all the time.
