Season 2 » Episode #02 - Honor Thy Father

Summary: Alex's sister, Charlotte, leaves comes to the garage and leaves a message that their father is ill in the hospital. When Alex finds out, he appears uninterested, and explains that his father ran out on their family and they haven't spoken in almost thirty years. Eventually, Charlotte prevails upon Alex to visit their father and Alex is shocked to see a very frail old man in the hospital. Alex loses his composure and breaks down, telling his father how much he means to him. All of a sudden, Alex realizes he's been bearing his soul to the wrong man when his real healthy-looking father emerges from the bathroom. Alex then again realizes he has nothing really to say to his father and leaves without hardly uttering a word.
