Panel 7: The scene returns to the father and Wallace at the table. The father continues his tale, saying, "She may be hundreds of years old..." Wallace is still listening intently.
Panel 8: The real mom, a woman with curly red hair, walks into the kitchen. She looks like a normal, modern person, but she’s disheveled, wearing pajamas and bunny slippers, and pouring coffee. The father looks at her lovingly and says, "But she's still got it, baby." Wallace, looking at his parents' affection, simply says, "ew."
