Alfie later confronted Tommy at the boxing gym. He rejected the teen’s reasoning that it was an “accident” and said it was now becoming a pattern. Tommy claimed his outbursts were caused by his mother’s romantic history, which Alfie was unhappy with.

Freddie and Alfie returned to Kat to inform her of the situation. Kat reasoned that they should treat Tommy like “an adult” in an effort to improve his behavior, adding that she “wouldn’t give up” on her son.
