The following morning, while Finn is in the thick of Delia’s birthday party waiting for Vero to arrive with pizzas, Steven and Theresa walk in an hour late. Steven announces they can’t stay, as they are having lunch with a client, and will pick up Delia after the party. Although the weekend is technically Steven’s time with the kids, Theresa had suggested the party happen at Finn’s so she wouldn’t have to entertain in her pristine home, which Finn resents.
As Steven makes a big show of opening his gift in front of Delia and her friends, Finn is left alone with Theresa and confronts her about the custody suit, stating Theresa doesn’t even like children. Theresa confesses having the children home will make Steven happy, which alerts Finn to the fact that Steven and Theresa are having problems. Finn is struck dumb by Theresa’s assertion that since Finn cannot afford an attorney, it will be easy to take the children from her.
