The story so far
Everything you need before watchingFrank opens a motel door and finds Wally, who was told to stay home. Wally has rented a convertible to deliver a razor and a favorite tie. Frank is furious. Wally wants him to admit he is glad, and to stop treating his father's death as nothing. Frank will not let Wally meet the family or come to the funeral. He will let him wait nearby: come to me whenever you need to.
