But Kevin can’t stop thinking about the photo. He goes to Philly to talk with Randall. “Dad’s obviously in love with that woman right?” Kevin asks Randall. He knows that necklace means something big.

Later, Jack and Rebecca find out that there is no one bullying Randall at school.
Before he goes to confront Randall, Jack tells Rebecca that boxing “quiets things” for him and helps him with “stuff I can’t think about.” He also reveals that he and Nicky used to box back in the day.
