* FunnyConceptionStory: Joy's mother talks about how love can make people desperate and resourceful, and goes on to describe the night she and her husband were feeling particularly amorous, but they were completely out of condoms and all the local stores were closed for the night. Not to be deterred, they made their own condom with plastic wrap and a rubber band. Joy, equally horrified and fascinated, asks if it worked. The reply: "Nine months later, you were born."

Joy is quick to call him out that he was supposed to let Alek go because it was the right thing to do, not just because it would make him look good.
