Will is very quiet, and goes to his room. Ken leaves. Irene tries to talk to Will, hoping to get some comment about the kiss and see if he is angry. During dinner, Hayley says she thinks Ken has a good chance of staying off alcohol this time. Will then breaks the news about the kiss. Jaws drop and Irene attempts to explain the kiss. Will jokes about it and appears cool about it. Will says that he wasn’t pleased but it is OK if Irene likes Ken. He trusts that Irene wouldn’t be stupid enough to get involved with Ken, unless he straightened himself out. He also says that, whether or not Ken cleans up his act, he and Hayley will still live with Irene.
