Nothing goes right in Dean's life. His mother is seeing another woman, his wife left him for a buzz-cut from the militia, and his own prospects don't seem to be getting any better. He can't put his finger on what's dragging him down.
On one hand, it might be the drinking. On the other, it might be the zombie apocalypse.
