Relic is being miserable and selfish as usual. He won't donate to the charity Margaret is collecting for, and he leaves McLoskey stranded out on the rough water since he won't pay the $50 Relic wants for his help. Relic plans on going out an hour later to pick up McLoskey when he, a little more tired and frustrated about being stranded, might fork over the money. Relic is angered when he sees Nick tow in McLoskey's boat, as that means he's just lost $50. But Nick has some bad news: McLoskey apparently fell overboard and didn't make it. What Relic is unaware of is that Nick's story is a lie orchestrated by a now hiding McLoskey to show Relic the error in his ways. Nick believes they can take McLoskey's plan to another level by everyone pretending that Relic's invisible, and even talking about him when he's there like he's not there. It works, as Relic even bringing up hot button topics doesn't get a rise out of anyone. But Relic thinks he has a way to break their little game, which starts a play of oneupmanship between him and Nick on who can outlast the other.

They run head-on into settled in bias from a totally surprising quarter, old Colonel Spranklin, one of the Carmody family's best-adored companions. Finding the old fishboat and the push to get it water-borne again shape the activity of this moving two-section scene.
