Gregory and Finn had an emotional talk after Violet went to bed. They basically cleared the air between them and expressed their love for each other. Sadly took place soon after and Gregory died in his sleep from complications of ALS. Finn knew he didn’t have much time left with father, but he still didn’t expect him to pass so suddenly. He was also harboring some amount guilt from accidentally taking a sip of champagne, potentially threatening his sobriety. One sip turned into several glasses of bourbon the next day after Finn discovered his father’s body. Once Violet returned home from school, Finn gently told her about Gregory’s when Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst).

As soon as Elizabeth arrived, she was Finn’s glass and the bottle of bourbon. Although disappointed in Finn, her priority was to get Violet out of the apartment while Finn was drunk so he could go to a meeting and reclaim his sobriety. Finn wasn’t having it and lashed out at Liz with an anger that stopped her in her tracks. Liz left, but called Finn’s brother, Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) to help Finn through this time. Eventually, Finn admitted to Chase that he had been drinking. He also had Chase throw the bourbon out and planned to go to an AA meeting.
