The story so far
Everything you need before watchingThe party is still going when the phone rings. Frank is joking with Beth about Barbara Stanwyck; then his mother says your daddy's gone. Mac died that morning of a heart attack, out of nowhere, grabbing his arm as he got into the car. Frank starts booking a flight to Greenville, then promises to take the train because she gets hysterical. Wally offers to share the driving. Frank says no: it will be so much harder if Wally comes.
