Tom Cherones
Synopsis

Hunter relegates authority of the house to Ford, while being addicted to the live showcase of cab confessions on TV. In addition, he tries to communicate more with Chloe by showing what he does at work. Norris lost his power of "President of the House" and feels left out of the loop under Ford's dictatorship, becoming jealous of Hunter's closer relationship to Ford, and has nightmares about the predicament. Ford has been voted as the new "President of the House" and changes much the way how the house should look and operate. Furthermore, he's jealous of Suzanne's newfound independency. Suzanne attempts to make Ford jealous by boosting her independency from her "gay" husband, but later to admit to Chloe that she is miserable without him in the live showcase of cab confessions. Chloe finally calls her father, "dad," while being filmed, along with Suzanne, for the live showcase of cab confessions.
