Evelyn visits the brothers early in the morning, particularly to give Alan a list of top divorce attorneys, claiming that if he visits all of them; it will be a conflict of interest for them to represent Judith. Seeing Evelyn in the house, Charlie changes his minds and goes with Alan and Jake to Disneyland.
After spending the whole day there, the trio return home. Jake, and in particular Charlie, do not enjoy their trip. Later the next morning, Jake’s ear infection catches up, and he catches fever. In that state, he calls Judith’s house home, and wants to be there, making Alan sad that his son doesn’t want to be with him anymore.

After arriving there, they tell her what they think of her. She doesn’t understand them, and asks them to repeat their words with “I’m sorry?” They think of it as an apology, and return to their home, and fell asleep on the deck.
