The story so far
Everything you need before watchingAt the wake, cousin Marsha catches Beth up on New York, famous faces, pregnancy, and a marriage that still gets it on. Then Aunt Neva asks the question Frank has been dodging: where is Wally, and why isn't he here after all these years? Frank drinks, pinkie-promises it is just for this, and waits for Aunt Butch's inevitable line about news on the female front. The small talk is cover for a secret that still cannot walk into the room.
