Stan, Brandi, Jack and Katy-Ann go bowling together. Although everyone is outwardly enjoying themselves, hints of unease appear. Brandi recalls, in distorted fashion, Katy-Ann's drunken rant about her and Stan ("Stan, that sleazy..."), suggesting she's beginning to have doubts about their newly steady relationship. Jack and Brandi, the two better bowlers of the group, decide to play another game, so Katy-Ann and Stan decide to catch up with each other over soda. While bowling, Brandi and Jack bond when she asks him how he and Stan came to be friends. Jack tells her that he and Stan grew up in a rougher part of town and so stuck together for safety, as they compensated for each other's weak points. He also credits Stan for keeping him out of jail when he used to binge-drink, and confides in her that Stan's learning he's a better man than he thinks.

=== Tropes ===

* [[Anachronic Order]]: The phone calls that end three of the four conversations show that the events of this arc, though all within the same evening, take place at different points in time.

* [[Coming Out Story]]

* [[Compliment Backfire]] / [[Damned By Faint Praise]]: Penny's well-meaning reaction to Aggie's creative efforts.
