Calling Darin’s “crustaceous ketchup” comment a “joke” is quite a stretch. And I’m really not sure why Darin’s birth father is something “we” need to talk about, Jessica. Your man’s had a hard day. Butt out.

So we’re to conclude from this that Dying Lisa never told Darin anything about his biodad, so when Darin called “Frank Pierce”, he had no idea who that was or why he was trying to contact him.
Well, maybe Lisa shared with Darin the circumstances of his conception, which would explain why a young man who obsessed over finding his biological mother would be so scornful of a man claiming to be his “Dad”. But hey, since his adoptive dad Fred is now damaged goods, you think Darin would opt for the upgrade.
Great punchline today from an author who knows a lot about “coming a long way for nothing”!

It's Astounding

Winkerboarding
Frankie finally musters the gumption to get out of his Stalkermobile and enter Montoni’s, where he is greeted by an entirely too-chipper Rachel. The redhead attempts to throw this mysterious stranger off the trail by spouting gibberish when asked about Darin’s whereabouts. But she doesn’t know that Frankie’s read The Book: he gets the “Funky Winkerboard” reference and regards Montoni’s would-be gatekeeper with a stern gaze.
