Tom stops by the Haggers house to apologize for his behavior and insists he and Mary are too broken to be put back together. Charlie invites Tom to Loretta's recording session. Dennis is surprised when Mary raises her voice to Heather, and he persuades Mary into letting him accompany her to the recording session. The recording session is plagued by faulty equipment, a case of the hiccups, and a drunken Tom, who gets into a fight with Mary over Dennis' presence.
