After witnessing his behavior regardless of if it was a regular occurrence for him or purely a reaction to their visit, Kevin, Kate and Randall feel they have no other option but to help their Uncle Nicky in the short term by not leaving him by himself in his leaking trailer where he could do himself harm. Kevin takes this help one step further by researching vet centers, one in nearby Youngstown which looks to be a good one to where they can take him at least for a visit. Kate and Randall have other commitments, leaving Kevin to deal with Nicky on his own, that is until the unexpected appearance of Rebecca, who had no intention of meeting Nicky but nonetheless felt compelled to do so. As Kevin and Rebecca deal with Nicky, and as Kate and Randall head off together to their respective homes, they all cannot help but remember back to the day Rebecca now realizes was the day after Jack returned from his last visit to Nicky, Rebecca who hearkens back to the up-and-down time she had with Kevin in he wanting to get a baseball card signed by Pirates pitcher
John Smiley, and Kate and Randall having vastly different remembrances of the day and their father, despite having been together and with Jack for all of it.
