Ep 4. Misery Loves Company

Ray's brother, Robert, is going through a rough patch. His wife, Amy, has been away for a while visiting her family in Pennsylvania, and Robert is feeling lonely and depressed. He's also constantly doing things wrong, and he just can't seem to get it together. Ray, however, can't help but find his brother's misery rather amusing.

Meanwhile, Frank and Marie are struggling to come up with things to do with their free time. They've both been retired for a while now, and they're starting to feel bored and restless. They decide to try out some new hobbies, but they quickly realize that they're not really cut out for them. They end up spending most of their time arguing and bickering.

As the days go by, Robert's mood gets worse and worse. He starts drinking heavily and neglecting his hygiene. Ray tries to intervene, but Robert just snaps at him and tells him to mind his own business. Ray is hurt by his brother's reaction, but he can't help feeling a bit guilty for finding Robert's misery funny.

Eventually, Ray decides to take matters into his own hands and try to cheer Robert up. He invites him over for a barbecue and invites all of their friends and family. Robert is hesitant at first, but he eventually agrees to come.

The barbecue starts off well, but things quickly take a turn for the worse. Frank and Marie start arguing, and Robert gets drunk and starts causing a scene. Ray is embarrassed and frustrated, and he ends up snapping at everyone. The party eventually ends in chaos, and Ray is left feeling even more guilty than before.

The next day, Ray goes to Robert's house to apologize. Robert is still feeling down, but he eventually forgives Ray and agrees to get some help. Ray is relieved and grateful, and he promises to support his brother every step of the way.

Overall, "Misery Loves Company" is a poignant and often humorous exploration of the ups and downs of family life. It's a reminder that even when things get tough, there's nothing more important than the connections we share with those we love.
