Dad

Although at AA he annoys his fellow members by telling a trivial story, Keith tries to befriend a fellow member, Arturo (Matthew Ashforde), whose father got shot. When he is out with his family, Keith is annoyed when his father remembers a story incorrectly about getting a model plane. Keith also worries about some kids hanging around outside his house, who later jeer Anita. She tells Keith to concentrate more on his children than his father. At AA, Keith learns that Arturo\'s father got shot during a bank robbery and how his father being in jail resulted in a lack of a bond between them, thus inspiring to be a better father.

First Week Euphoria

Keith using his AA meetings as an excuse for not seeing the grandparents. During the meeting, he pretends to yawn to indicate he thinks it is getting boring, but causes offense. A new AA member, Charlie (Nicholas Burns), is in the middle of \"First week euphoria\" of not drinking. It is then recommended that Keith sits in \"The chair\", talking to the whole group. Richard says he should talk about using the AA meetings to get away from his family. Keith does this, but everyone is shocked by him. Worried he is not helping anyone, he tries to help Charlie, but he causes more offense and ends up destroying Charlie\'s \"First week euphoria\", resulting in him wanting to get drunk. He runs across the road to do so, but is run over and dies. When Keith visits the dead body, he spills coffee over the corpse. Keith swaps his clothes over with Charlie\'s, but he still causes trouble at the funeral when his mobile phone rings during the service.
