Alan hoped to distract dumped Charlie by taking him to the movies, but Chelsea is there with Brad. They tail the couple, only to find Brad doesn't go in. She actually visits Charlie and spends the night his way, but in the morning says it changes nothing. He still tries to bring flower, but she's absent and her father and his boyfriend offer advice to appear in control, not needy. The situation puts strain on the fraternal bond, yet proves it's stronger than Charlie admitted before.
