Robert is seen driving his car off a cliff and onto a gay cruise, an attempt to reunite with his late wife. Lily is seen picking things up at a grocery store, mixing pills into a chocolate cake, hoping to end up with her long lost boyfriend. The two of them end up as Accountability buddies in a Suicide Support Group, consisting of a former model, an aspiring comedian, a teen from a wealthy family, a straight laced house wife, and a family man, led by a former New York Mets turned paraplegic. Detective Miller tells Lily he's keeping an eye on her, for suicide is a crime. Robert confesses to his pastors about hooking up with Lily in an alleyway, much to the pastor's delight. During an evening event, the group meet up with the family man of the group. Two years after taking out a life insurance plan, he takes his own life. | ||||||
