The seventh episode of the series serves as a reminder that Billy is still struggling with trauma, which has led to his unusual behavior.
Billy, along with Isaac and Lee English (Julia Mayorga), is spotted at his parents' dinner party to celebrate their divorce. However, Billy appears uninterested.

Later, Lee approaches him and begs him to reduce his alcohol intake before joining the rest at the dinner table.
