“I’ll show you my private things
Like my scrapbook of fantasies…”
~ Silversun Pickups.
July 1966.
Patrick and Tien evade both US and Vietcong patrols as they near Quy Nhon, she shares about her late husband, who was French, and the difficulties her and her daughters have experienced since his assassination by the Vietcong. When Patrick asks about her plans once they reach the city, she shuts down and walk on in silence.
Meanwhile, Clayton proposes marriage in front of his parents and older brother. A stunned April happily accepts in front of his equally surprised parents. When April leaves to phone her parents back home, Clayton’s mom raises objections with her son about April’s “pedigree.”
For Gus and Colleen, there’s no escaping how empty their home feels since Patrick left for the Army. Colleen suggest that they sell and move to LA in order to be closer to Liz, but Gus is reluctant to move. Colleen visits with the Pastor for some advice and guidance, and learns about April’s engagement and expresses her happiness for him and his family.
