Ep 4. Episode 4

Tony deals with the aftermath of his encounter with the woman he tried to buy heroin from in the previous episode. He becomes increasingly isolated and withdrawn, pushing away the people closest to him. Meanwhile, Matt struggles to come to terms with his failed relationship and begins a downward spiral of his own, turning to alcohol as a coping mechanism.

As Tony wallows in his own misery, he receives an unexpected visitor in the form of his brother-in-law. The two have never been particularly close, but in this moment of desperation, Tony finds comfort in his presence. The conversation that ensues is heart-wrenching, as the two men grapple with the weight of their shared grief and the unpredictable nature of life.

Elsewhere, Tony continues to navigate his complicated relationships with the people around him. He confronts his father about his affair and his brother-in-law about his perceived shortcomings as a husband and father. These conversations are raw and emotional, leaving Tony and those around him feeling vulnerable and exposed.

Despite the heavy subject matter, the episode still manages to find moments of levity and humor. There are several scenes involving Tony's coworkers at the local newspaper, including a disastrous attempt at matchmaking and a comical misunderstanding involving a celebrity interview.

As the episode draws to a close, Tony is forced to confront the reality of his situation. His actions have consequences, and the people he loves are suffering because of them. Though the outlook may seem bleak, there is a glimmer of hope as Tony begins to take tentative steps toward healing and redemption.
