In the beginning of the episode, it is revealed that Rome (Romany Malco) has decided to end his life. However, as he tries to take a handful of pills in his kitchen, he keeps getting interrupted by a call from his friend Gary (James Roday). After continuous calls, Rome finally answers the phone with the pills in his mouth. When he learns that his friend Jon (Ron Livingston) has died by suicide, though, he immediately spits out his pills in the sink.
