His dad feels badly about it and tells Bobby that he's going to go pick up his mom, and that they'll all have dinner together. Bobby waits at the house for them and turns on the news to see that his parents have gotten into a bad car crash and are at the hospital. He goes to the hospital to see his parents, who tell him to lay low at home until they can get back.
