Knox hides in his mom’s closet to get away from people, and his dad calls. Andrew confirms that he knew about Knox’s ADHD and that it is a kind of superpower because it can help him “hyper-focus” on things he really enjoys, and this can help him accomplish great things. Andrew mentions the soccer ball at school, and Knox asks him if he will end up in jail. Andrew explains that his mom just said that because she is under a lot of stress. Knox explains that out of everybody who is mad at him, he is the angriest with himself.

Bowen wakes Knox up, furious because his headphones are missing. Meanwhile, they hear their parents arguing loudly about Knox. They decide they must somehow get their father to America quickly before their parents’ marriage is destroyed. Knox decides that it is a bad idea to pawn the headphones, and the children decide to sell some of their mom’s stuff at the garage sale.

The children go through their mother’s old, stored clothes and decide what to sell. They see a paper written by somebody named Will, and the professor who graded it thought that the thesis was wrong because there was no way that China would become a major economic force in the world.
