Neal withdraws after Abby tells him what she has to do. He understands, he cracks a joke about it being her funeral deciding to room with Jeff, he teases her about the living habits of twenty-year-old boys. He puts on layer after layer of good humor to barricade himself off both from his own feelings and any guilt or suspicion that she might have that he's not as supportive as he's acting.

He also spoils the gremlin rotten, or tries to, ostensibly to make the little demon spawn insufferable when Abby moves out.

Which she is doing.

Today.
