She was in the service,

and she went to college,

and now she's teaching fifth

grade over in Tunkhannock.

Mary says she loved the army.

Made lots of friends.

Yeah, um...

I don't know, ma, Chet said

that I could keep my hours

and just start doing cow chores

once the ice cream

season slows down.

Hmm.

And the band's got gigs.

Tuck it in.

I think Pete and Kris are probably

gonna need help with the baby too.

Oh, Kristen's got my help.

You need to start thinking

about your own future, honey.

And I think...

Kristen is fixing to ask you about

turning your room into the baby's room,

so, well, we're gonna

have to figure that out.

Now...

That's a church outfit.

After dinner, could you

give me a ride to Noxen?

Fair season is over, honey.

Why do you need to go out there?

Just visiting a friend.

People make crystal methane

at Noxen.

I saw it on the news.

She's nice, ma.

Pete and Kristen know her.

The law that has been known

as "don't ask, don't tell..."

Please tell me you are not

gonna try and stay around here

and let Pete and Kristen's friends

have a bad influence on you.

It's not gonna be like that.

Sexual orientation,

with our fear of reprisal.

So do you water

the cows every night?

- Yeah.

- Do you milk the cows?

No.

One sec.

- Who the hell is up there?

- Oh, f***.

I'm gonna perforate that loft with

buckshots in about 30 seconds

if you don't come down.

Oh, hey, Chet, just me.

I was watering the cows and I noticed

they could use a little bit more hay.

Sorry, Chet, I didn't

mean to scare you.

I think it's about time your

boyfriend came down from up there.

There's no one up there.

Hah!

You're looking for me?

Do you think that

you could help me down?

I'm a little bit scared

of rickety old ladders.

Thank you.

Could they make like a

hemp-flavored ice cream?

I think that would be cool.

I got fired.

From the dairy?

What did you do? Gave away

too many free scoops?

No, you, uh...

You dipped the chocolate

with the strawberry scooper?

No.

You got caught doing

the nasty at work?

Not nasty.

You did.

So, like, what? Did you go muff

diving in the back cooler?

Don't be a pig, Pete, come on.

You're a champ.

You're a f***ing champ, Joey.

I don't know what your mom's

always talking about,

you not living up

to your potential.

You're like a carpet-munching

superhero.

Hot.

What's that supposed to mean?

What?

That I'm not living up

to my potential?

Why isn't Kristen living

up to her potential?

She's the one who's

about to be a mom.

Yeah, well we're

already lost causes.

You're the hope, sister.

Let's go.

I'm coming in with you.

I don't mind seeing

how Rayna's looking.
