Carolee sees Steve and Mike emerge from the physical therapy room. Althea withdraws from Nick after they quarrel about her invitation to Steve, and he stalks off when she pretends not to see the real issue. Matt arrives at the hospital, where Steve explains Mike's violent outburst. When Matt asks Mike to explain it himself, he clams up, insisting he has nothing else to say. Nick attempts to placate Althea by allowing her to have Steve over for dinner, but she continues to give him a frosty expression. He goes to bed, alone and irritated, while she stays in the living room to read a book. In the physical therapy room, Matt loses his temper with security officer Jim Crawford, who insists that Mike's actions were willful destruction of property, and anyone else would be arrested for such a crime. Matt screams that the he'll take responsibility for the damages and his son. Having wrecked the therapy room, Matt harshly asks Mike if he intends to wreck his life, too, but Mike doesn't have an answer.
