Patty Paterson has been verbally abusing her husband, Jim Paterson, for years, but there hasn't been any physical violence, not until today that is. Jim tells Patty he is leaving and taking their son, she sees red, grabs the skillet, then Jim sees red.The poor mailman sees red then he sees no more.
Pleasantview has had a violent past and that past is about ready to catch up with the town again. Patty has the skillet, she's swinging for the fences, she will be trying to knock Jim's block off, literally.
