The story so far
Everything you need before watchingLucy has gone pale; someone is pushing a drink on her. Cut to Harry, who has been trying to reach Fay since last night and will not hang up. In the car he promises his son a surprise stop at a half sister's. Fay praises his story as funny and sad, and Harry begs her to be cruel: the boy in the piece grows up unable to love, and Harry says he is that boy. Watch how he can love a child and baseball, yet calls women too complicated.
