Wallace confronts his mother about Nathan Woods, his birth father. He spills the beans to Veronica, who is supportive, but preoccupied with the bus crash.

This sets into motion a chain of events leading to Wallace leaving town with his father.

Quotes and trivia

- Veronica: Are you crazy Duncan? Leaving this out in the open? Do you leave heroin out when Iggy Pop spends the night?
- Veronica: Can I guess? You got a sweet love hangover and you don't need no cure.
- Keith: Ahhh, look, Veronica, your father's campaign is riding on a gravy train with biscuit wheels. Woody's numbers guys just called to say I've got a twelve-point lead. I don't need to roll around in the mud with Lamb.
- Veronica: In that case, it sounds like you don't need a photographer from the Neptune Navigator who knows how to shoot your good side?
- Keith: I got nothing but good sides, baby.
- Veronica: It's weird that you live here. I don't want you going all Howard Hughes-y on me.
- Duncan: I am not a shut-in. These nails? Neatly trimmed. Though, now that you mention it, I have started bottling my own urine.
- Veronica: Ew.
