At home, Dan confides in Jackie that another contractor heard what happened with the forklift and fired him because he's a liability. Dan says he can't physically handle drywall jobs any longer as he's in too much pain afterward.
 
Ben and Dan both apologize, and Dan decides to go back to work at the store.
