The next morning, Joy goes outside to take pictures and notices a swing set. She sits down and swings until Bobby arrives and tells her that grown-ups don’t do that. They swing together, staring at the clouds and deciding what they resemble. Bobby sees his mother, and Joy tells him about something called a Zipperumpa-zoo. They continue like this until Bobby tells Joy that he has to go to the youth group today, but a mean guy named Arnie Holtzner will be there. Bobby admits that he doesn’t think praying will help him feel better about his mom because God let her die. It starts raining, and they head indoors. Bobby tells Joy she can find new clothes in their lost-and-found box. Bobby explains that his dad wants to sell the lodge and move to Boston. Joy suggests he tell his dad how he feels and then recognizes her hypocrisy. When Daniel takes Bobby to the youth group, Joy dozes on the couch. She wakes and sees Daniel on the phone; Bobby got in a fight.
When Bobby returns, he claims he did not start the fight. Daniel admits that he got into fights back in Dublin as a kid.
