Later that night, Laura begins to perform fellatio on Bob during which he has another attack from which he dies, and his condition is later diagnosed as arrhythmia.

Laura's nephew, Kyle, is an enthusiastic guitarist, and his father, Paul, supports him but Kathy thinks it hinders his academic future.

In order to gain popularity with the kids at the new school, he lies and says his father died in the September 11 attacks while saving lives as a fireman.

Dennis goes to a friend's birthday party, where he gets a body painting of the burning World Trade Center on his back.

Meanwhile, Laura coincidentally meets the birthday kid's mom at a gas station, and learns of the camp friend attending the party.

Realizing the truth about Dennis' father will come out, she rushes to the party, but arriving too late to prevent the damage, finds her son sitting alone and crying, ostracized by the group.

She tells Paul she regrets not returning the balls back in high school, because now she feels about him like he felt about her.
