At work, Fat Charlie is disoriented and begins singing to himself. Grahame Coats catches him and berates him for it, and a nearby coworker compliments Fat Charlie’s voice. He receives a call from Maeve requesting Grahame Coats get in touch, as well as a call from Rosie saying her mother is helping with their wedding. After Grahame Coats berates him for taking a personal call, Fat Charlie fantasizes about the kind of person he’d like to be. On his way home he meets Spider, who has just come from their father’s grave. Spider decides that they both deserve a night out. He takes Fat Charlie to a wine bar, conversing with the philosophical cab driver on the way. At the wine bar, the brothers drink an ancient wine and toast to their parents and Spider tries to explain why he didn’t seek out Fat Charlie sooner: He couldn’t find the right words for the right song, so he put it off. Fat Charlie tells Spider about his life, his relationship, and his job. Spider invites Fat Charlie to continue their journey seeking out women and song.
They arrive at a birthday party in a pub and join in.
