In the days following, Alan can't get the renegade's inflammatory speech out of his head. He starts reconsidering everything he's held true about his values, "opts out" of late-stage capitalism, and moves into his daughter's playhouse in his backyard. The timing of Alan's foray into self-discovery couldn't be worse for Vivian. She's beginning the utmost important journey of her life, her initiation into the Queen Annes-the most exclusive women's club in their Greenwich, CT, town. With Alan washing himself in the neighbor's bird bath and communing with backyard critters, Vivian's husband is the primary obstacle to her long-held social dreams.
