The story so far
Everything you need before watchingBeth wakes on Frank and Wally's couch with a hangover. Coffee, two aspirin, and a tall glass of water wait on the table. Over bacon, Frank asks if she feels any different about him now that she knows he is gay. Beth says no, though she has never knowingly met a gay man. Frank asks her not to tell the family. Wally objects: Frank already shows photos of a fake wife, and Wally's family in Saudi Arabia would answer coming out with a beheading.
