Rocky and her family return to the cottage during happy hour after the day's events. Jamie is on the pull-out with Maya asleep beside him and Chicken the dog curled at her hip. Alice wants to rest, and Mort escorts her to the bedroom. Rocky brings her mother a large glass of water and insists she drink it, hovering protectively until Mort gently reminds her they are not children.

Rocky's emotions overflow as she tells Alice she loves her. Alice deflects sentimentality, reassuring Rocky that she'll be fine and even framing her upcoming heart valve replacement with characteristic humor—she's getting a pig's valve. Mort jokes about confusing the procedure with a calamari podcast involving pig intestines, and Willa cheerfully reports to Jamie that Grandma is getting a valve made from a pork asshole, lightening the mood.

Mort coaxes Rocky onto the deck so Alice can rest. He pours wine for himself and Nick, and Rocky asks for some too despite her rum. The kids join them with snacks and drinks. Mort expresses his love for Alice, and Rocky finally registers Nick's quiet, steady presence throughout the day—driving, caring, cleaning—and thanks him. Mort raises a toast "To surviving," and everyone clinks glasses, Rocky tearing up.

The somber moment is broken by Jamie posing an absurd hypothetical question about walking into town naked versus wearing a body suit with a see-through crotch panel. Rocky reflects that the day contains multitudes—maybe every day does.
