Meanwhile, the rest of the bar is buzzing with excitement as they prepare for the arrival of a famous filmmaker who wants to shoot a movie in Boston. The regulars, including Norm and Cliff, are hoping to get some screen time in the film and have been practicing their acting skills in anticipation.
As the day goes on, Otis begins to see the error of his ways and tries to stop the affair from happening. However, he is too late and his wife discovers the truth. Feeling guilty and ashamed, Otis makes a surprising decision that affects not only his own life but the lives of those around him.
