Robert has five children — four blonde boys who look just like him and a new daughter with curly red hair like her mother Danielle. The narrator, himself a redhead, jokes that 'the red is alive' upon meeting the baby. Robert never lets it go. For weeks he complains his daughter doesn't look like him, escalating to a full breakdown at work where he accuses Danielle of cheating and points directly at the narrator — openly gay, male fiancé, pride stickers all over his car — as the culprit. After the narrator tells Danielle what happened, Robert is kicked out. He then tracks down the narrator's partner Elliott and calls with threatening voicemails. The paternity test proceeds. The group notes that Robert's entire meltdown is built on not understanding how genetics work, and Jared identifies a specific form of straight-male narcissism — the belief that a gay man might be faking his orientation to covertly access a straight man's wife.
