Shakes continually denies the extent of his alcoholism until Cheese finally tells Shakes that he needs to sober up, or he will have no choice but to fire him. Shakes decides to get sober so he can keep his job and make his father figure proud. Shakes is able to get through alcohol withdrawals and, for a time, seems to be doing well. However, Shakes suffers a relapse at a birthday party and trashes the house in a drunken stupor until he is knocked out by the child's mother. Shakes returns to the bar later that night, where Cheese angrily fires him for upsetting the party guests. Ashamed and heavily intoxicated, Shakes goes into
