Owen's short fuse and fist use have been tackled by Catherine and Marjan, both demanding he seeks therapy to prevent worse accidents. Schoolboy Brian must balance filial concern and public embarrassment as his hothead father keeps working himself in humiliating pickles requiring fire department rescues: at a drive-in, Brian's high-school wrestling hall and road rage. Tommy still tries to keep her late husband's doted brother Julius Vega out of her life, considering him spoiled rotten and useless, but her daughters' insistence to see their favorite uncle forces her to come to terms.
