The kids take him to a hill for cloud watching there, every cloud just reminds him more of his dad.īack at home, having no other solutions left, the kids convince Richard to talk to Frankie about it, which Richard is reluctant to do as he now sees his father as a con-man, and starts crying about how there is nothing he can do about fixing the past. Despite having been fed with large amounts of food while playing in the ball pit, Richard's mood stays diminished. They then take him to Joyful Burger to comfort-eat his heart out, where he discusses that Frankie's absence throughout his childhood left him emotionally troubled and how there is too much time to catch up. The next day, Richard is feeling depressed over Frankie and the kids try to cheer up their dad with music, which fails. A remorseful Frankie apologizes to Richard for abandoning him and solemnly leaves the house. Feeling guilty, Frankie corrects Richard that Jojo made it up because she cannot stand him, and she coldly replies that she invented it to distract Richard from remembering the day Frankie left them (also because she cannot stand him). After the ceremony, Richard reassures Frankie that the "Vermin Man Day" is not about him and that his mother told him it is a tradition as old as time- written by the pilgrims when they were all abandoned by their deadbeat fathers, the British. The seven Wattersons proceed to do a dance and sing a song about the "Vermin Man" and burn a wooden statue that resembles Frankie.
Granny Jojo and Louie are also there and the former is not happy with Frankie's presence. Richard opens the door wearing a nose mask, very much looking like Frankie's snout, and is very happy to see him making it for "Vermin Man Day." At the backyard, the kids greet their grandfather with a hug and Frankie gives Nicole a wreath that he apparently stole from someone else's grave as a present. The episode begins at nighttime with Frankie coming for a visit where he sees the Wattersons' house with a variety of objects strewn around the front door.
