Adrian does her best to decorate and hold things together. Paulie is drunk and loud. Robert has finally had enough of watching his father pour everything into Tommy Gunn and unloads on Rocky in a raw, painful confrontation. At the same time, George Washington Duke makes his move and starts hustling Tommy away from Rocky’s corner.\nRyan and Kyle dig into the family blow-up, Robert’s long-building resentment, Paulie’s holiday antics, Adrian’s quiet efforts to keep the peace, and the exact moment Tommy begins slipping into Duke’s orbit. Classic Going the Distance mix of scene detail, character talk, and honest reactions to how messy (and effective) this sequence is.\nKyle is back in the guest chair.
