Description

The episode begins with Buck revealing he is a Vietnam War vet. Tara and Charmaine's parents pay a visit in order to celebrate the latter's birthday. However, they have a secret plan to get Kate and Marshall to live with them for a while, which Max rejects. He is determined to prevent Tara from slipping away this evening as her alters, especially Buck and T, will crash the party. The mood at the party is somewhat sullen, with Charmaine acting brattish. Kate leaves and goes to her boss's (Gene) apartment, where she begins a relationship with him. Tara's parents come out with the idea of taking the kids. Max, Tara, and Marshall are appalled. All the fuss pushes Charmaine to lose it, claiming that everyone has always paid more attention to Tara than her; then she flashes her lopsided boobs to everyone in the room. Although Tara seems to be fine right after the incident, Max wakes up in the middle of the night to find her urinating on her father
