Violet confronts Pete in the hall, and he says Betsey deserves to see her mother. Violet says that's not for him to say and he made it worse, but he's not about to be lectured by Violet, the child-abandoning adulterer. Dell comes up, with Naomi running after him, and punches Pete. Pete strong-arms him and says that he can hit him if he wants to, but he used to love Heather, and she deserves to see Betsey, and Betsey deserves to see her. Dell tells Pete to stay away from his family, and leaves. Violet asks Pete to tell her it's not personal, and he says, "Maybe you can condone keeping a child away from their mother, maybe that makes sense to you, not me." He asks what it does to Betsey if she doesn't get to say goodbye.
At Addison's, the Captain's comforting Bizzy by resting his hand on her shoulder. He sees Addison on the balcony and goes to her. He gives her a drink and tells her Bizzy's very upset. Addison: "Is she? I'm so sorry. That's so sad." Addison asks him why her entire childhood was a lie, and he says they were trying to protect her and Archer. Addison: "Really? Because I'm a cheater. Archer's a cheater. We're all these awesome cheaters. So that's a bunch of crap." She asks for a good reason, and he says Bizzy's the love of his life, and she's been at his side his entire adult life. She's his everything. He says it's not her fault, you know. She didn't know, and when they did know... she's the love of his life, and it's complicated. Addison says being a lesbian isn't a choice, and she's not going to change. He says she sleeps with one woman and he sleeps with all the rest; so what? Addison's pissed that she thought Bizzy was this poor, pathetic woman all her life, and he's really the poor, pathetic one. She says she hated the wrong parent, and it's just awful because she hates them both now. She leaves and he says, "eaglets." 14 down: "Future hunters." It's eaglets.
Cooper gets home, and Charlotte greets him. He tells her about Dell, but she wants to make it about her, "I know everything's bad now, but you have to give me another chance." That seems so out of the blue during Dell's situation, I think. These are the most self-absorbed people in the world. Cooper yells at her to stop talking. He's tired of it, and he's tired of thinking. He kisses her and they land on the bed. Sam comes into his room, where Addison's in bed. He asks what happened, but she ignores him. He gets in the bed and rubs her hair. He asks her to talk, but instead she kisses him, until he stops her and says, "Not like this, not like this." She says please, but he tells her no a couple more times. She cries and rolls over. He lays with her and spoons as she apologizes. He tells her not to be. I don't even get what's up with this relationship, but it makes me want to throw things.
