The story so far
Everything you need before watchingBeth is falling-down drunk as the party thins out. Bruce bolts, insisting her uncle completely flipped out on him. Wally has been hunting Frank on the fire stairs to warn him the niece is inside. After Beth retches off the rug, the men argue about pot, then about Bruce. Cornered, Frank finally says it: he is gay, Wally is gay, they have lived together for ten years. The freak-out happened because Bruce would not take no for an answer.
