Franco calls his nurse/fuck buddy/dealer and complains that he's lost his pills. For an addict, he sure is carefree about keeping track of his stash. Maybe he misplaces them while he's high. The nurse says that she can't get Franco more pills until next week, because she's going to see her sick mother. Franco claims that he's sick because he's in pain. The nurse suggest that if he's in so much pain, he should go to a doctor and get a prescription. Franco tells her to forget it and screams, "Thanks for goddamn nothing, bitch!" Keela pops up and tells Franco he shouldn't use bad language. He asks if Keela has seen Daddy's medicine, and Keela says that she gave some to her stuffed bears. Franco tries to be patient as he kneels down and tells her that she shouldn't touch his things. Keela says she'll show him where the pills are. Well, that was resolved quickly, right?
Pete comes downstairs in his parents' house to find Chief sitting at the dining-room table. He reports that his mother took a shower without incident and was telling him clear, detailed stories about Pete's grandmother. Chief thinks they should write the stories down for when the inevitable happens. Pete says that this isn't easy, and Chief says it's a "hateful disease." Pete says that he was talking about his relationship with his father, which has never been easy, even though it seemed easier when his mother was around to be a buffer. Chief stands up and says that he's going upstairs to read. Pete asks him to stay so that they can talk about "all the stuff [they've] never talked about, which is pretty much everything." Chief says he's exhausted from work, and Pete asks if he's really that scared. Chief stands there for a minute, and then sits back down and agrees to talk.
Franco is tearing Keela's room apart, looking for his pills. Keela says that one of her bears has them, and then suggests that they might be under the bed. Franco starts losing it, and says that he's already looked everywhere. He yells that he's already looked under the bed, and then flips Keela's bed upside down and screams that he needs his pills. Keela flinches and then hides in the corner.
