Ever since Earl heard that his son would become a dad and as a reaction of that he would become grandpa he had started to make changes in his life. Earl had been sober for 3 weeks, thrown out all the liquor and secretly started a savings account for his grandchild without telling Wade or Zoe.

This was a big night for Earl. He was making dinner for Wade and Zoe and was really looking forward to it. Just as Wade, Earl saw this as a bit of a new beginning, to change things in his life wipe off the dirt and start with a clean sheet.

He had been in town shopping groceries with money he got from Wade off course and had even bought a jacket to show he was making an effort so that he to could be a part of the toddlers life. Earl knew he had lost that phase of Wade's life. His wife past away and he started drinking, so Wade had to step up and start working, bringing some money to the family. Wade wasn't able to enjoy his childhood as he could have if Earl had taken responsibility and not got in to drinking.

Earl had a proposition for Wade that would benefit both of them. Earl needed a job, Wade needed staff at the Rammer Jammer. Earl intended to apply for a job at the Rammer Jammer. This was the perfect idea, Earl started to make some money and could take care of himself properly and with more staff at the bar, Wade could take some days of, spending them with the child. Making Wade the caring dad that Earl felt he wasn't.

The more he thought about it the better the plan seamed, but he started to doubt it as well. Wade knows who I am, I have let him down all my life, so why would this be different now, and why would he hire me?

Wade and Zoe just stepped in the car to drive over to Earl's shed in the woods. The first few minutes were dead silent. Zoe knew this was kind of a big deal for Wade.

- Are you okay?

- Huh?

- Are you okay Wade? You have been a bit off the past hours.

- Yeah, sorry about that. It's kind of a big deal. Dad and me have a messed up relationship with each other.

- I know you've had some rough patches, but he really has made an effort with this and I think it is a nice gesture. It shows that he cares. And I think it will be nice to have an involved grandpa.

- Yes I think so to. That is why I will offer him a job tonight at the Rammer Jammer.

- Have you thought this through?

- Over and Over again, and the conclusion I come to every time is that it is a good idea. He earns his own money, Lemon and me need staff at the bar, although I think it's wisely to make him weight tables and not serve drinks because the history he has with alcohol.

- I think that last part is a good idea.

- Yeah I think so to. And if you think it's that important with an involved grandparent, maybe you should give your mom a call?

- Yes I will but tonight we'll have a good time with your dad okay.

As Earl check the steak he hears a truck pulling up outside the cabin and comes to a halt. He starts to get a little nervous, as it is a big night for him. Earl puts his new jacket on and walks out on the porch and is embracing Zoe and pats her stomach that is getting bigger and bigger and gives his son a warm handshake.

They've been standing out on the porch talking about nothing really when Wade suddenly start to grimace with his face sayin' Do you smell that? It smells like something is burning.

Holy crap shouts Earl and run in the kitchen and the steak is almost gone, it's only a bit of cremated coal left.

Zoe turns to Wade and is pointing with her eyes at Earl. Wade suggests that they head over to the Rammer Jammer to get some food.

In the car Earl is apologizing again and again for ruining the evening.

When they've stepped out of the car and in to the Rammer Jammer Wade turns to his dad:

- Dad, I know we had some rough patches and we don't always get along. But I want you to come and work with me here. You'll earn money by yourself, and we get to spend more time together plus we need some extra staff.

- Son, I would love to. And you can take some time off to spend with the child and Zoe and be the great dad I know you will be.

Zoe seems to be the one that is most affected by the situation. Tears of joy are running down her face.

Then Wade turns to Zoe.

- Right Zoe, it's about time you call your mom.
