Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Jamie jokes that she "marries losers" when she's drunk a reference, apparently, to Malia's long-gone father. Still, she works as a bartender in the evenings. She holds a meeting of sorts at the bar and serves Michael whiskey.

Spoilers
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
- Nona doesn't touch alcohol, and that last line is played for laughs. But later a sad undercurrent mars the humor: Nona used to drink, we learn. She stopped after she had an accident while driving drunk. Cody was in the car at the time and, because an inebriated Nona didn't buckle him in properly, he was thrown forward and hit his head. Nona's worried ever since that she caused his learning difficulties. (Her confession to her son is heartbreaking, but beautiful.)
