Cory pays Billy a visit at his home. The entire exchange is rife with tension. Spencer’s father is an intimidating guy and he makes his intentions to Billy clear. News of the affair has broken and it will come out one way or another.
Struggling to get ahead of the truth bomb, Billy comes clean with Laura. She calls him out for being a coward. Considering all the shady things Billy has been doing all season wrong, I can’t disagree with her. If Cory wasn’t in town, would Billy have ever fessed up? It’s not likely.
By episode’s end, at the threat of losing the entire foundation he’s built his family on, Billy appears generally apologetic. It’s going to be a hard road to gain the trust of his wife and children back.
