Carter offers to take his mothers place as caregiver for his grandmother, explaining that he wanted to get out of the life he was currently living and write a biographical story he has been working on for the past eleven years. Though his mother objects to this decision, he ignores her and flies to Michigan.Meanwhile, Paige Makenzie Vega and Lucy Kristen Stewart Hardwicke, who live across the street from Phyllis, are returning from school.
