04E06 - The Club

Three rounds of golf over the years involving non-golfers Jack and/or Randall are presented. On the spur of the moment while Rebecca has a lunch date with her mother, Rebecca encourages Jack, the two still early in their dating life, to go out on the links with her father to the country club so that the two of them can bond and get to know each other better. Despite never feeling like he fit in that day, Jack takes 12-year-old Randall out for nine holes in wanting to provide him with opportunities he may not otherwise have, especially as he has been taken under Mr. Lawrence's wing - he a black man Randall admires - and just by the fact that Mr. Lawrence has told Randall of a new black professional golfer named Tiger Woods who is poised to change the face of the game. And in present day, Randall, feeling like he is being frozen out by Councilman Wilkins in having had to cancel two previous meetings with him, tries to find a way back in, that measure being one seemingly of Wilkins' favorite activities, golf, with Randall having access to one of the most exclusive courses in town. This round will be his first since that day when he was 12 with his father, he who wanted to cut short that day almost 30 years ago for a reason not having to do specifically with the quality of his play. Meanwhile, it's been almost 10 months since Kate and Toby have had sex, and with Kate using the excuse of Jack, Toby encourages her to ask Rebecca to sit with the baby so that they can have a romantic hotel stay on their own. Toby's mind and his body may tell him two different things, the connection between those two being a comment made by Kate to him while he was cleaning out his closet. And Kevin is trying to find things to do to keep himself preoccupied in what is his new albeit temporary home, that temporary nature uncertain in however long Nicky has to go through his legal issues. While he still has Cassidy's issue on his mind in they having become friends, Kevin may end up falling into old habits when it comes to the opposite sex.
