This Is Where I Leave You Chapter 42 Summary

How It All Goes Down

  • Judd is sitting butt naked in his shiva chair. Uncle Stan is sitting next to him, farting up a storm.
  • Penny and Jen walk into the room. Penny looks out-of-place and embarrassed, while Jen looks "full-faced and radiant" (42.1).
  • Judd sees his father in the back of the room holding a baby.
  • Oh, okay. This is a dream! We weren't sure before.
  • Mort heads to the door and Judd struggles to get up and follow, but he's not wearing his prosthetic leg. He collapses onto the floor as the door closes behind his father.
  • Judd wakes up from his dream calling out for his dad.
