00:00Although Mitch was an old friend and he trusted him with his life, he was concerned that maybe
00:05there was something wrong with the pill.
00:07What would it do to him?
00:09Would it kill him?
00:10Was it FDA approved?
00:13Just as Kevin was contemplating spitting the pill out, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in
00:18his abdomen.
00:19Then his whole body felt like ice.
00:22It reminded him of that time one of his friends had convinced him to jump into Lake Michigan
00:27with his polar bear club one cold winter day.
00:31Then his eyes rolled up in his head and he fainted.
00:36When Kevin opened his eyes again, it was almost dusk.
00:39What's that horrible smell?
00:42He said to himself.
00:43The funk was almost enough to knock him out again.
00:47Kevin got up off the floor and discovered that the smell seemed to come from his own
00:50body.
00:51Great!
00:52He ran his hand along his forearm and felt something strange.
00:57His entire body was covered with some sticky yellow liquid.
01:01It had soaked through his clothes entirely.
01:04Gross!
01:05What the hell is this?
01:07Kevin sprinted to the bathroom to take a shower.
01:10He must have washed himself for more than half an hour.
01:13Then he changed his clothes again.
01:15He gave the house a quick cleaning and sprayed the air with an entire can of freshener.
01:20It seemed impossible to get the stink out of the room, especially the spot where he
01:25had fainted.
01:26It was stained a pale yellow and he wasn't sure he would ever be able to get it out.
01:31If Lily or her mother come home now, they'll think I've been frying dog crap.
01:36He thought.
01:37I can't believe someone told Mitch that this would help me.
01:40So far, it's given me an intense pain in my gut, knocked me out, and made me smell like
01:46an outhouse on a hot July day.
01:49Are there any more fun side effects?
01:52Kevin kept muttering to himself as he cleaned the room furiously.
01:56Just as he finished, Lily and Dorothy came home.
02:00Hi, Kevin.
02:01What have you been cooking?
02:03Dorothy put her shopping bags on the sofa and turned her head to look at Kevin, who
02:07was helping Lily.
02:09Kevin coughed uncontrollably a few times.
02:11I had something to do, so I haven't cooked yet.
02:14Why don't we eat out tonight?
02:17Dorothy gave Kevin a funny look and said, you're home all day and you don't have a
02:21job, but you don't have time to cook?
02:24Lily found his excuse a little suspicious, too.
02:28Even though she thought her mother was right, she wanted to give her husband the benefit
02:31of the doubt.
02:32You know, I was thinking the same thing, Lily interrupted.
02:37There's a new place on the north side.
02:39I think it's in Evanston.
02:40They say it has great stuffed spinach pizza.
02:44Let's head over there this evening.
02:46Then she gave Kevin a subtle tug on his sleeve in motion for him to go to the bedroom with
02:51Kevin was curious to find out what Lily had to say, and did she have any more news about
02:57her grandmother?
03:03Kevin still hadn't gotten over his weird reaction to the pill that Cook gave him, and he really
03:08wasn't in the mood to make dinner right now.
03:11But he was pretty happy that Lily had stood up for him with Dorothy.
03:15He followed her back to their bedroom, wondering what news she might have about Grandma Jones.
03:20Was Lily's grandmother finally going to put her in charge of the Williams Media contract?
03:25Lily spoke first.
03:27You should have learned by now.
03:29Don't make random excuses.
03:31We need your help around the house, and that includes cooking meals.
03:35She took out the new clothes that she just bought one by one while Kevin helped her hang
03:40them up in the closet.
03:42Kevin didn't offer any more explanations.
03:44He just nodded and replied, OK.
03:47Lily was satisfied that they'd settled the matter, so she brought up the latest news
03:51of her grandmother.
03:53It's Grandma Jones' birthday the day after tomorrow, so you have two days to try and
03:57find something nice, and nothing cheap or tacky.
04:01Please don't embarrass me in front of my family again.
04:04When Lily told him this, Kevin remembered that he and Grandma Jones shared the same
04:08birthday, but usually everybody spends so much time fawning over Grandma that they forgot
04:13about him, so he wasn't much in the mood to celebrate.
04:17Over the past two years, every time Grandma Jones had a birthday party, Kevin would just
04:22make believe that the celebration was for him.
04:25Kevin noticed that Lily was staring at him, which made him come back to the moment.
04:29He nodded in agreement.
04:31Don't worry, I'll remember it, and I'll find her something nice.
04:35Thanks, Lily replied.
04:37She really wanted to ask him for some advice about the partnership with Williams Media,
04:41but she also wanted to handle the problem with Grandma Jones herself, so she decided
04:46not to say anything, for now.
04:49Grandma Jones' birthday bash was held at Shea Robin, one of the finest restaurants
04:54in Chicago.
04:55They rented out the whole place just for the party.
04:58Kevin didn't arrive in the same car as Lily and Dorothy because he was out picking up
05:03the birthday present for the family matriarch.
05:06Lily sat next to her mother and saved a seat for her husband.
05:10The more she thought about it, the more restless she got.
05:13For the past two days, she'd asked Kevin over and over what he planned to get for her
05:17grandmother, but he insisted that he wanted to keep it a secret.
05:21This really worried Lily because her grandmother was hard to please, and she didn't want to
05:26disappoint her.
05:27When Kevin finally arrived, Lily saw that he was holding a simple gift bag like you
05:32find in a drugstore.
05:34This sure ticked her off.
05:36This was definitely not okay.
05:38Lily wasn't looking forward to spending another embarrassing evening with her family because
05:42of Kevin's behavior.
05:44She let out a heavy sigh.
05:47When Kevin sat down at the table, Dorothy frowned and stared at the gift bag he was
05:50holding.
05:51You could have at least had it wrapped.
05:54I hope the gift you picked out is presentable.
05:57Kevin was a little uneasy at Dorothy's response.
06:00Uh, I didn't have time to wrap it, but the wrapping isn't important.
06:04It's what's in the bag that counts.
06:07Kevin was tempted to let Lily and Dorothy take a peek in the bag.
06:10He was sure they'd be pleasantly surprised by his choice.
06:14He started to lean toward Lily offering the bag to show what was inside, but she put her
06:19hand out and stopped him.
06:21She wasn't interested in finding out right now.
06:24Lily rolled her eyes.
06:26I don't want to know.
06:28Later when everyone is giving grandma her presents, you can take advantage of the confusion
06:32and just stuff it into the pile so we're not embarrassed in front of my family again.
06:38Kevin was a little disappointed at her reaction.
06:41All right, he said, whatever you say.
06:44Everyone had already started to give their gifts to Grandma Jones who was seated on the
06:48dais at the front of the room.
06:50In the place of honor, of course.
06:53They were all secretly competing with each other to see who would give the most valuable
06:57or rare gift to Grandma Jones.
07:00So far, the best presents were the beautiful diamond brooch that Matilda gave Grandma,
07:05as well as the antique Victorian bus that Jason had presented to her.
07:09Everyone agreed that it looked a little like Grandma when she was younger.
07:14Grandma Jones took Matilda by the hand and smiled happily.
07:17You've always brought me such great joy, Matilda.
07:21I'd love to keep you around here with me forever, but it's probably time for you to get married.
07:27Matilda didn't know how to respond.
07:29Married?
07:30She didn't even have a boyfriend.
07:32Don't worry, Grandma.
07:33I'll always be by your side.
07:36Everyone who heard this was deeply moved.
07:39Matilda returned to her seat, which happened to be next to Kevin's.
07:42As she sat down, she heard Kevin say, nice choice.
07:46That brooch is from Wales, mid-18th century.
07:49Probably belonged to the royal family.
07:51Not bad.
07:53This piqued Matilda's curiosity.
07:55Most of the members of the Jones family thought Kevin was kind and dull and uninteresting.
08:00Even Matilda had always looked down on Kevin, but his comment was far from dull.
08:06How did you know it was an 18th century royal brooch?
08:09She asked him.
08:10And yes, it is from Wales.
08:12Do you know a lot about jewelry?
08:14Kevin shrugged and nodded.
08:15Yes, I know a little.
08:17May I ask how much you spent?
08:19About $20,000, Matilda answered candidly.
08:23I bought it from a friend of mine.
08:24At that price, she said she would just break even.
08:27Kevin shook his head.
08:29I hate to tell you this, but that brooch isn't worth much more than $15,000.
08:33Matilda wasn't happy to hear that.
08:36$15,000, are you sure?
08:38I got it from a good friend of mine.
08:40Kevin lowered his voice so nobody else at the table could hear him.
08:44There are a few factors to take into account.
08:46First, you have the diamonds.
08:48They're a nice size, but the cut, color, and clarity are important too.
08:52I could see from here under these lights that they're not the absolute best.
08:56But the perfect diamonds cost a small fortune.
08:59Then there's the provenance.
09:01The most famous royal brooches are all well-known and, once again, way over $20,000.
09:06Still, it's a very nice piece of jewelry.
09:09But I think your friend could have given you a lot better break on the price.
09:13It doesn't sound to me like she's your best friend.
09:16Just my opinion.
09:17Matilda had a puzzled look on her face as she listened to Kevin.
09:21Just then, someone walked up to Grandma Jones and announced,
09:24Grandma, Bradley Smith is here.
09:27She smiled and said, Bradley is here?
09:30What a lovely surprise!
09:32Please show him in.
09:34Kevin and the others turned around to look when they heard this.
09:38They all watched Bradley Smith walk in wearing a navy blue Tom Ford suit and shiny new Oxford
09:43shoes.
09:44He was holding a small gift box in his hand.
09:47He'd spent his last penny on the clothes and the gift just to make a good impression
09:51on Grandma Jones.
09:53He knew that he had to succeed today or he'd be ruined.
09:57Bradley walked confidently up to Grandma Jones and gave her a kiss on each cheek.
10:01Happy birthday, Grandma Jones.
10:04I wish you health, wealth, and happiness.
10:07I'm sorry that I'm a little late.
10:09The Dan Ryan Expressway was backed up with the construction traffic.
10:13Please forgive me.
10:15Grandma Jones knew that Bradley had always been interested in Lily.
10:19If only she had been able to match them up a few years ago.
10:22But instead, she had married that failure, Kevin.
10:25Oh, I understand.
10:27I know you have a busy schedule.
10:29It's very considerate of you to come to my party.
10:33Bradley smiled and looked over toward Lily.
10:35Actually, I'm not just here for your birthday.
10:39There's something else.
10:40He paused for a moment.
10:42Grandma Jones, I want to ask your blessing to marry Lily.
10:46She looked Bradley in the eyes and then shifted her gaze to Lily.
10:50Was she actually taking this request seriously?
10:53Lily was already married to Kevin, but this didn't seem to bother the Joneses.
10:58Nobody had ever really accepted Kevin into the family.
11:01They even treated their hired help with more respect.
11:04And that's saying a lot because they didn't treat them that well either.
11:08Bradley, you do realize that Lily is married, doesn't that bother you?
11:14She inquired, even though Grandma Jones knew what she wanted deep in her heart.
11:18Grandma, I'd like to ask Lily to be my wife.
11:22You know I've always seen you as my very own grandma.
11:25Please say yes.
11:27The whole time he was saying this, Bradley was acting like Kevin wasn't even there.
11:31Finally, Kevin had had enough of this.
11:34He stood up from his chair and yelled, stop.
11:38What the hell is wrong with you?
11:39I've been sitting right here the whole time and you're asking if you can marry my wife
11:43right in front of me?
11:46Kevin had lost it.
11:47Now it was Jason's turn to stick his nose in things.
11:50Who do you think you are?
11:52You have no right to speak here.
11:54You're not a member of the family.
11:56I may not be much, but I'm better than you, you jackass, Kevin spat back.
12:01I'll kick your ass, loser, Jason said as he rushed towards Kevin.
12:06Jason had been spoiled by grandma Jones since he was a child, so he never learned to control
12:10his temper.
12:11He had countless fights when he was in school, but never faced any consequences.
12:16Even as an adult working in the Jones family business, he got into a lot of fights and
12:21arguments.
12:22He also got involved with some pretty tough criminals.
12:25It didn't look like his family was going to be able to make Jason control himself this
12:29time either.
12:30One of them commented, Kevin's really going to get it now.
12:34Another replied, serves him right.
12:36Who does he think he is?
12:38He's just ruining grandma's party.
12:40Why doesn't Kevin just keep his mouth shut?
12:43Someone else at the next table said, that's right.
12:46What gives him the right to say anything about our affairs?
12:50Everyone was upset to see this, but nobody made a move to stop Jason.
12:54They were all expecting to see Kevin get beaten up, but Kevin stood his ground very calmly.
13:00Lily called to him.
13:01What are you just standing there for?
13:03Hurry up and leave.
13:05She was surprised at how worried she was for Kevin right then.
13:09Things hadn't been great between them lately, but maybe they'd been together for so long
13:14that she couldn't bear to see him get the crap knocked out of him.
13:18Jason threw the first punch, but Kevin stepped to the side to avoid it and caught his fist.
13:23So you're going to get violent, are you?
13:26Okay, Kevin said coldly.
13:29Then Kevin twisted Jason's wrist with a move that his friend Emo had shown him back when
13:34he was his family bodyguard.
13:36Everyone there heard a sharp pop and Jason let out a loud moan.
13:42Why have you always been such a douche to me?
13:45Kevin said as he let Jason drop to the floor.
13:48They were all shocked to see this happening, especially at grandma's party.
13:53What was happening to their pleasant little get-together?
13:56They were all trying to get a grip on it.
13:59Jason felt like one of his ribs might be broken.
14:02He sat on the floor yelling in pain as he held his wrist.
14:06Just then, Dorothy walked up to Kevin and slapped him in the face.
14:10This caught Kevin off guard.
14:12He staggered a little and took a step back.
14:15How dare you ruin grandma's birthday?
14:18Dorothy was furious.
14:20After all that we've done for you, this is how you repay us?
14:24Get out, now!
14:26By now, Jason was slowly standing up with a little help.
14:29Oh, he's not getting off so easy.
14:31You're a dead man!
14:34Jason pulled out his phone, scrolled through his contacts, and made a call.
14:37But Kevin wasn't paying any attention to Jason.
14:41He was staring blankly at Dorothy.
14:43His penetrating stare made her uneasy.
14:46He finally spoke.
14:48Lily and I have been married for two years.
14:51Things have been hard while I tried to get back on my feet, but I thought we still had
14:55a pretty good relationship.
14:57He began to smile before he continued.
15:00Maybe it's my fault that everyone here looks down on you and Lily.
15:04Maybe I deserve that slap, I don't know.
15:06But from now on, we're even.
15:09Kevin clenched his fist tightly.
15:11From now on, I'll have nothing to do with this family.
15:14I've had enough of this.
15:16If you want me to come back, you'll have to make Grandma Jones get down on one knee and
15:20beg me.
