Paloma clapped her hands together and then shot her son a meaningful look.
Before Jeffrey could launch into his grand apology, Huxley cut in first.
"Jeffrey! Get over here."
"Dad..."
Seeing the stern look on his father's face, Jeffrey was a bit scared.
"Come here! Kneel down!"
"..."
At this statement, not only Jeffrey, but even Karen was a bit startled, "C'mon, dad... isn't this a bit much?"
She was angry, sure, but she hadn't intended for Jeffrey to perform such a "grand gesture."
"Kneel!" Huxley glared at his son.
Even Paloma didn't dare say anything at this point, simply pulling her daughter-in-law aside as if to ignore the scene.
Jeffrey pouted, dragging his feet over and knelt before his father, "Dad."
"That incident with Paige, what did I tell you? What was your reply?"
He had the audacity to go to those places, to mingle with such a bad crowd!
"I'm sorry, I was really wrong. I just wanted to grab a few drinks and head home."
"Wanting a drink, there are plenty of places, why insist on going to a bar?" Huxley's eyes bore into him, a look of disappointment on his face, "Today, there wasn't any major issue, so you still have a chance to apologize. But what if things weren't as simple as you thought? What if they got you drunk again, and you ended up fathering another child?!"
Karen raised an eyebrow, then turned her face away, pretending not to see.
This was not the time to side with Jeffrey!
Otherwise, he might think that making mistakes carried no consequences, that the cost was low.
If it hadn't been for Huxley and Paloma showing up today, Karen was seriously considering divorcing Jeffrey! She wasn't joking, nor was she bluffing.
Other men might go to the bar once or twice, no big deal, but Jeffrey was different!
He had many friends there, each one aware of Jeffrey's status. If someone truly intended to trap him, who would bear the consequences?
"Honey, if it means you won't divorce me, I'm willing to kneel here all day!"

Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
