Hearing about Ann’s illness changes everything for Bobby. It forces him to question whether he wants to carry that anger with him or face the chance that this might be his last opportunity to speak to her. Ann’s diagnosis makes the strained relationship between them feel more urgent. There is no more time to push things aside or ignore how much her absence affected him.

Bobby, who always viewed Ann as a fraud and manipulator, now sees a different reality. Whether or not they can fix everything, the fact that she is dying leaves no room for unresolved bitterness. This moment pushes Bobby to step up. He chooses to offer support, not because it erases the past, but because he knows it’s the only way to move forward.
