Linda and Doyle reconcile, and Doyle announces his plan to move into the house permanently. He claims he will soon propose marriage to Linda, says that Karl is no longer welcome to live in the house, and demands that Frank begin obeying his orders. Frank does not acquiesce and Doyle attempts to attack him, but Karl stops him and warns him never to touch Frank again. Karl begins to realize that, eventually, either Frank will kill Doyle and end up like him, or Doyle's abuse will kill Frank or Linda or both.
