It's another Christmas dinner gone to shit after Alex's dad and mom argue about politics. Every Christmas since they divorced, it seemed like a fight about campaigning always happened— and Alex is fed up. Which is why he snapped and finally yelled at them, then made his way up to his room in the White House in a huff.

The first person he thinks to call is Henry, not even thinking about how it's much later there than it was in the U.S. Oh well.
