It’s Christmas. Albert is very excited for Lewis to open his present. It’s the Wings album Venus and Mars. Lewis loves the present. He and Albert get to talking about what Lewis and Carson did with the car. This also leads into a short discussion about George. Albert takes the opportunity to teach Lewis a lesson: Albert likens the reservation to Mars and George’s life to Venus.
Lewis’ brother, Zach, picks Lewis up and takes him to George’s house. Once there, Lewis shows George his two gifts. The first one is an album from Queen. Lewis plays “Bohemian Rhapsody” for George first before moving on to the Wings album. There is a song on the record titled “You’re My Best Friend.” Lewis finds it way too cheesy to come out and say those words to George, so he’s hoping maybe the song will communicate what he can’t put into words. Afterward, George and Lewis go to the neighbors’ where George is babysitting for the evening. George shows Lewis around the house. He and Lewis share a surreptitious round of cherry schnapps. Then, George shows Lewis where the stack of girly magazines is located. Lewis acts like it’s something special, though he’s seen this sort of stuff before, from his uncle Albert’s stash.
