Ricky apologizes to Reese for being such a jerk. He tells her about seeing Casey and not knowing whether she's really there or just in his mind. He's afraid that he's having a nervous breakdown. He admits that he even went to see his parents, which proves how much this is affecting him. Ricky explains that he's the black sheep of the family and his parents aren't exactly impressed with his choice of careers, especially compared to what his sister and brothers are doing with their lives. Reese can't imagine having a big family. With just her and her mother, the house was as quiet as a tomb when she lived there. It wasn't as bad as it sounds, because there was a lot of love--just not much joy. Since Ricky's mom sent him home with a lot of food, he invites Reese over for some arroz con pollo before rehearsal.

She goes to catch up with Ricky. Jack admits that Jamal is right about the ring, because last night, Reese would have carried him over the threshold. Jamal thinks that Jack could get her back if he really wanted to, but that's not what's ticking him off. He could have wished for anything, but Jamal didn't tell him about it. Jamal says that the ring is dangerous, and he's glad it's gone.
