Iris and Tommy return from a limo ride to find a furious Hank waiting for them, because Tommy didn't tell anyone where he was going, and Hank got a call that Tommy was missing, which made Hank frantic. Tommy was supposed to stay inside, and he tells Hank to chill out, it's not a big deal, the worst thing he did was forget to call. Hank counters that it is a VERY big deal, and that Tommy disobeying him is not allowed, and if Hank knew Tommy was going to act like this, he wouldn't have brought him home from the hospital. Hank instantly apologizes for that last remark, saying he didn't mean it. Then he sends Tommy to his room. When they're alone, Iris tears into Hank for yelling at Tommy. Hank tells Iris he doesn't need her to tell him how to discipline his kid. Iris counters that Tommy hasn't looked better in weeks. When Hank says that doesn't mean Tommy's getting better, Iris replies that she knows that, and she thinks Tommy knows it too. Hank admits he's scared for Tommy. Iris knows, but she tells Hank they have to lighten up for Tommy's sake. They brought Tommy home in the first place so he could have the time of his life before... Iris trails off, leaving the sentence unfinished. Hank wishes he could take back what he said about not wanting Tommy to come home. Iris assures him that Tommy knows he doesn't mean it, and so does she. Hank tells Iris that he never would have gotten this far without her. Before she came along, all he thought about was the disease and how to fight it, and he got lost in that fight and forgot about all the living Tommy still needs to do. Iris pointed him in the right direction on that. Iris replies that they all some help at one time or another, and that Tommy couldn't ask for a better father than Hank, because he's a wonderful, caring man. Hank says he's lucky to have Tommy and a good friend in Iris, but he hesitates as if wanting to say something different, or more, than a friend. Iris says that she hopes Hank always remembers that she's a good friend. Hank thanks Iris for taking Tommy out and says maybe next time they can all go together. Iris says that'll be Hank's decision. Tommy watches in the background as Iris and Hank almost kiss, and Iris then leaves. Thanks to Janie for the scenes.
